cadhla182: In honour of Miles Morales getting an animated feature!Comic of the Week: Ultimate Spider-Man by Brian Michael Bendis. This is the perfect Spider-Man story. It’s funny at times, dark at others, a story about a kid gaining power and responsibility and trying to live his life right. It is an alternate universe, the Ultimate Universe, so there are changes made to the lore to ground it a little better (Venom getting the biggest one), but the fact that it’s an alternate universe allows consequences to be a bit more serious. Character death is a big deal. Characters are allowed to grow out of molds they’ve been in for decades in the main Marvel universe. Plus it introduces Miles Morales, eventually, who is just fantastic in every way.It is a lengthier series (starting in 2000) but, honestly, just pick up volume 1 and keep going until you don’t want to. The art is gorgeous and I only read it a couple years ago, it didn’t seem too dated then. Each volume has it’s own story with a larger story running through them. It does lean on it’s own continuity, so don’t pick one at random, but volume one is literally the beginning for this particular comic. -- source link
