About the author
Brian Michael Bendis
4,417 books2,569 followersA comic book writer and erstwhile artist. He has won critical acclaim (including five Eisner Awards) and is one of the most successful writers working in mainstream comics. For over eight years Bendis’s books have consistently sat in the top five best sellers on the nationwide comic and graphic novel sales charts.
Though he started as a writer and artist of independent noir fiction series, he shot to stardom as a writer of Marvel Comics' superhero books, particularly Ultimate Spider-Man.
Bendis first entered the comic world with the "Jinx" line of crime comics in 1995. This line has spawned the graphic novels Goldfish, Fire, Jinx, Torso (with Marc Andreyko), and Total Sell Out. Bendis is writing the film version of Jinx for Universal Pictures with Oscar-winner Charlize Theron attached to star and produce.
Bendis’s other projects include the Harvey, Eisner, and Eagle Award-nominated Powers (with Michael Avon Oeming) originally from Image Comics, now published by Marvel's new creator-owned imprint Icon Comics, and the Hollywood tell-all Fortune and Glory from Oni Press, both of which received an "A" from Entertainment Weekly.
Bendis is one of the premiere architects of Marvel's "Ultimate" line: comics specifically created for the new generation of comic readers. He has written every issue of Ultimate Spider-Man since its best-selling launch, and has also written for Ultimate Fantastic Four and Ultimate X-Men, as well as every issue of Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, Ultimate Origin and Ultimate Six.
Brian is currently helming a renaissance for Marvel’s AVENGERS franchise by writing both New Avengers and Mighty Avengers along with the successful ‘event’ projects House Of M, Secret War, and this summer’s Secret Invasion.
He has also previously done work on Daredevil, Alias, and The Pulse.

Enjoyable

Llega raspando al 4, capaz es más un 3.5, pero es divertido y propone algunas cosas interesantes. Creo que le agarran más la mano en la segunda mitad y te deja con ganas de seguir leyendo. Es un delirio que Marvel saque uno por año de estos, van a terminar en 2032, así que no recomiendo para nada la edición Epic, porque encima se lee rapidísimo.

I had been dying to read the original Ultimate Spider-Man for years and I’m so happy I finally got to it. I adore the modern retelling of this amazing story, but I also can’t believe the next epic collection doesn’t come out until MARCH? A whole year after this one? CRAZY

I’m gonna leave my review for each volume separate from this review but this Epic Collection was fantastic. I’m excited to get the next one in March, reads super well and was hard to put down. My thoughts on Vol. 1 are in the Vol. 1 trade and same with my thoughts on 2

A really fun and refreshing take that really captures the heart and soul of our fledgling hero as he takes his first steps and swings into a world that's much bigger than he imagined. No complaints here - This is great comic book storytelling and addictively readable.

good story, the art is kinda hit or miss, those 3d modeled backgrounds for the covers are so 2000s. nothing too mind-blowing just solid spider-man stuff

a spiderman book with a happy ending!?
I came in with high expectations and they were still exceeded. I really liked everything about this book and the series is off to a very strong start.
