ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #112Written by Brian Michael Bendis
Art by Stuart Immonen
Well, this is the beginning of the "new" Ultimate Spider-Man with Stuart Immonen on art chores. Coming from a die hard Bagley fan from back on his original Amazing Spider-Man run, I am glad he is finished. This has nothing to do with the quality of his work or any dislike towards him at all. I just feel like it was time for a change. Immonen brings a fresh new coat of paint to the premiere Ultimate title and everything old is new again. I would love to have Bags back for the occasional fill-in issue or annual, but Immonen is what this book really needed at this point in time.
Bendis seems to be fired up with the new blood as well as this is probably his best issue in months. I love the new look for Kitty and it is painfully obvious she still cares for Peter. The "partner up to look after a fake baby" is an old cliche from sitcoms, but is handled exceptionally well here and I look forward to the Spider-Man and Shadowcat plus baby hi-jinxes that are sure to follow with their partnership.
This is a great jumping on point and an excellent debut (yes, I know he did flashbacks in last issue) for Immonen and I, personally, cannot wait for the Superfriends, Iceman and Firestar, to show up in the coming months. Worth every penny and a must buy for everyone that loves comic books.
Verdict - Must Read
