ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #117Written by Brian Michael Bendis
Art by Stuart Immonen
I don't even know how some of these things line up with the ending of Ultimate Power anymore. Spider-Man was freaking there when Nick Fury was captured as a badguy and knows why he isn't leading SHIELD anymore yet doesn't want to deal with Carol Danvers because she's not Nick Fury and he doesn't trust her. What the hell?
Ignoring the random shit Loeb has messed up with his ending to Power, this was a solid ending to the Death of a Goblin story. While I feel Bendis rushed to his conclusion by throwing Harry in at the end of the last issue and basically killing both him and Norman off in this issue, it was still a relatively satisfying conclusion.
However, Immonen's art seemed a bit rushed in this issue. Just felt a lot more frantic and scratchy, if that's a word to describe art, and nothing like his Nextwave or the Hellcat stuff he's been doing in Marvel Comics Presents or even his previous USM work. It was not bad by any means, but just felt like it wasn't up to snuff compared to earlier issues and left me, for the first time, wishing Bagley was still on the book.
Still, a great book and USM remains one of the most consistent books on the market and a guaranteed solid read.
Verdict - Must Read.
