Ultimate Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 1 [New Printing]

It is beautiful!

First off, I would like to say that the Marvel Omnibus format has to be my favorite, compared to all other trades Marvel releases. Now the review can begin. This book is a HEAVY faux-leather book that is fantastically bound and well made. The cover is a crimson red with a distinctive silver "Ultimate Spider-man" insignia on the front, this cover is subtle yet dignified. The Spine of the book has the "Marvel Omnibus" logo on the top with the title and creative team on the side, this is all in the same silver tone as the insignia on the cover. This book is physically superior to most other formats, and graciously outshines the paperback trades. The dust jacket features a gallery of all the covers in this volume, which is a nice touch. As for the content of the book itself, the content is a perfect partner to the aesthetic appeal of this volume. Ultimate Spider-man has the fantastic creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley. Bendis is at his best in this series and is able to wonderfully capture the spirit of Spidey, from his guilt to his quips directed at his foes. As for Bagley, the art is great at capturing the swell of these epic conflicts between our young hero and his foes. Not only that but Bagley is also able to capture the individual spectrum of emotions for each character, from Kraven to MJ. This volume collects some of young Peter's most interesting conflicts. The first arc establishes fan-favorite Norman Osborn as possibly Spider-man's most dangerous foe. As difficult as it would seem to usurp this as the supreme arc in the story, the series continues to improve as you read. The rouges gallery given and improved upon include: Electro, Doc Ock, Kingpin, Kraven the Hunter and more. The final arc in this volume is a fitting climax for the series. Venom, who has been one of the most popular villains in Spider-man history, gets his ultimate universe origin at the end of this volume and gives us a wonderful insight into the emotions of our hero, and those he loves. At the end of the book there is a section dedicated to sketches and creator interview and even deleted scenes, to my knowledge this volume is the only way to get these awesome extras. Overall I would say that this volume is a must buy for someone who is a fan of the series or someone who just wants to find somewhere to start reading. The price listed by Amazon is extremely reasonable and makes this definitely worth purchasing.

I bought this book for my teenage son. He is a huge spider man fan. Good quality print. Lots of cool pictures. I would definitely recommend. Price was also worth it.

It's a very high quality print with dustjacket too. Beyond its appearance I am really enjoying Ultimate Spiderman's "retelling" of the early spiderman comics. I appreciate old comics too and have a bunch, but I think this series reboot is a great fit for anyone of any age.

Story is pretty good in this series. It makes you wantbto read more and .ore of it. Only down side I saw and it more for people with kids not myself is. It got a few polical opinions that they like to hide in back ground talks of the teachers. But funny enough all the kids seem to ignore theses lectures while having thier own conversations. They do this quite a bit in class room scenes so if that is something that bothers you or concerns you or you don't want your kids reading it for that it up to you. Book also made it in good condition

I have never written an Amazon review before, but this was SO GOOD that I just had to! From the first few pages you get what direction this book is going. The tone is very grounded, the dialogue is realistic, the characters are truly understandable, etc. This book is actually more about the drama in Peter Parker's life than his adventures as Spider-Man, and that's a good thing. The build-up to uncle Ben's death is slow and you really come to like him, which makes his death that much more painful. Oh, and did I mention there is not a dull moment in this book?! Whether you're an older comic reader who has witnessed all 700 issues of the Amazing Spider-Man, or just starting out with comics, I would DEFINITELY recommend this to you. The only downside is that there is no table of contents, but that is a minor issue. I would also not recommend buying this for children 12 and under unless they are mature for their age. The story can get really dark, violent, and complicated.

Dittkos Spider-Man hat meine kindliche Vorstellung von Superhelden-Comics geprägt, und als jüngst Doc Ock als Spidey auftrat, musste ich schon einiges an Toleranz aufbringen, um die Idee nicht rundheraus als absurd abzutun. Entsprechend stellte sich mir als erstes die Frage, ob ich den Ultimate Spider-Man wirklich lesen wolle. Bekanntlich hat Marvel diese Reihe ja gestartet, um die Stories der alten Haudegen zu modernisieren und für ein heutiges, nicht mehr ganz so kindlich/kindisches Publikum zugänglich zu machen; und dann vor allem auch, um die Umsatzzahlen in einer schwierigen Phase zu stabilisieren, wenn nicht gar zu steigern. Letztendlich war es Bendis' Name, der mich zu diesem Omnibus greifen ließ, und ich habe es nicht bereut. Nachdem sich über vier Jahrzehnte gezeigt hatte, in welche Richtung die Reise gehen würde, konnte Bendis Peter Parkers Geschichte zielgerichtet-gestrafft neu erzählen, Sackgassen und Redundanzen vermeiden und die Verzahnungen zum modernen Marveluniversum vorbereiten. Der Kalte Krieg, Vietnam und Kommunismusangst wurden getilgt, ebenso anderen Anklänge, die zu sehr den 60ern verhaftet waren. Bei aller Modernisierung hat Bendis an Peter Parkers Charakter festgehalten, der der unsichere Highschool-Schüler bleibt und mindestens soviel mit seinem Privatleben zu kämpfen hat wie als Spider-Man mit den Bösewichten; Ein sympathischer, tragischer Teenager, mit dem sich auch heute noch junge Menschen identifizieren können. Die Schule und die Bullies haben sich natürlich verändert, aber die Stimmungslage ist weitestgehend dieselbe geblieben. MJ und Gwen haben ihre Rollen tauschen müssen und die Kämpfe mit den albernsten Superschurken bleiben Spidey erspart (eine meiner Lieblingsszenen ist die, als Spidey mal wieder viel zu spät auftaucht um einen Superschurken zu stoppen und Iron Man den schon längst verarztet hat). Ansonstenn findet sich alles wieder: Humor, Tragik, auch eine Portion Pathos, und natürlich Spannung. Vor allem ist Spidey immer der menschlichste aller Superhelden gewesen, und genau das bleibt er bei Bendis glücklicher Weise auch. Mark Bagleys Zeichnungen gehen ein klein wenig ins cartoonhafte, aber gerade auf diese Weise gelingt es ihm großartig, Emotionen in die Gesichter unserer Helden zu zaubern. Und überhaupt ist seine Seiteneinteilung überzeugend und hat einen eigenen Erzählrhythmus, mal langsam, wenn es um wichtige Dialoge geht, dann wieder schnell und ineinandergreifend, wenn hurtige Action ansteht. Das Coloring fand ich ebenfalls sehr gelungen, was bei einem SW-Fan einiges heißen will. Einzig die Cover haben mir überhaupt nicht gefallen. Sie vermitteln so rein gar nichts vom Charme, den die Artwork im Heftinneren hat.

Ótimo. Traços interessantes, história mais interessantes ainda!

Aunque actualmente es más difícil que esté disponible, si tienen oportunidad no tengan duda en comprarlo. Excelente primer volúmen de esta gran serie. La entrega todo perfecto. Obvio al ser un libro podría llegar con un poco de maltrato, pero nada que afecte su estética en general, o la comodidad al leerlo.

This 21st century reimagining of our favorite wall crawler's early heroics by Brian Michael Bendis is phenomenal. It's one big coherent coming of age story for Spidey. Perfect book to pick if you are new to the world of comic books. Special thanks to the seller - Trans Infopreneur Inc, They are the best place to buy comic books on Amazon.

Received this omnibus as a replacement because the previous one had pages sticked together, folded pages and this one has it's cover damaged
