Ultimate Spider-Man By Jonathan Hickman Vol. 1: Married With Children

This is a shockingly good series from Marvel, who seem to have completely lost the plot on what to do with their flagship character over in their main universe. I hadn't read any Hickman before this, and I know he is well-regarded as a writer. Most of all, I like how he bends and reshapes familiar Spider-Man comic history here to great effect. Some great ideas here.I won't spoil any story details, but it all feels fresh and vibrant. Chechetto's artwork is absolutely terrific, and he lends a mature but fun tone to the story. Great buy, absolutely recommend this collection, and I can't wait for the next one.

Ultimate Spider-Man tells a phenomenal story, one that manages to feel new and exciting while remaining familiar and true to Spider-Man and his wonderful supporting cast. We see Peter Parker becoming Spider-Man later in life and in a more sinister world, and he has to navigate that challenge while balancing marriage and fatherhood. And the artwork is truly exceptional, from the inspired character designs to the riveting fights. Highly recommended!

Great condition and good story and great art and good start to a new chapter of Spider-man!

It is pretty good. I can do without the paragraph length word boxes, but its good. The art and character designs are great. Good book all around.

As a lifelong Spider-Man fan, I’ve read countless iterations of the character, but Jonathan Hickman’s Ultimate Spider-Man is something truly special. The story is original, bold, and absolutely phenomenal, breathing new life into the mythos while still respecting what makes Spider-Man great.Hickman has long been one of my favorite writers—his work on X-Men, House of X, and Secret Wars was groundbreaking, and he brings that same level of depth and world-building here. The storytelling is sharp, layered, and gripping from the very first page.And the artwork is absolutely stunning. Every panel is beautifully crafted, capturing the emotion, action, and energy of Spider-Man’s world in a way that makes it impossible to put down.This is exactly the kind of fresh, innovative storytelling I was hoping for. If you’re a fan of Spider-Man or Hickman’s work, this is a must-read. I can’t wait to see where this series goes next!

I've been a comic book reader since the 90's and have seen the industry go through ups and downs. I gave up on comics when the writers became too political and put their agendas above mythos and quality writing. The final straw for me was when Marvel decided to make Captain America a freaking Nazi. With that being said, I have kept up a little bit with my favorite writers, including Hickman. I have been a huge Hickman fan since his Fantastic Four run, though, I will admit, I was not a big fan of his X-men. I thought in his X-Men run, he went a bit too far with the world-building, and lost track of the characters. This Spider-Man series, however, so far, has me tentatively excited for Marvel comics again. It's just classic great story telling, and I think Hickman has done a superb job. Hickman can get wordy at times (though thankfully, not as wordy as Michael Bendis) but in this series, he has really kept it simple and clean. The world building in this Ultimate universe has not gone too far off the original Marvel Universe, while building on fresh ideas. I really enjoyed the relationships between this Peter Parker, his family, Uncle Ben, Jonah Jamison, and Harry Osborne. Hickman achieved bringing this Spider Man back to basics, capturing the nostalgia of what makes Peter Parker Spider Man such an endearing and beloved character while giving it a fresh take without blowing up the mythos. You can tell Hickman truly respects the characters and didn't want to obliterate the lore as so man current writers do in their hubris.

That was great Ultimate reboot! Spider-Man had happy marriage with MJ and two children. He is a good team with Green Goblin, Harry. That was a great like Ultimate Spider-Man 2000.

Great story and makes me want to read more
