As someone who is entering only their second year of reading comics monthly, I sometimes struggle with the fact that the issues are so short and far between each other. But this issue cooked. I loved the surprise of Richard Parker taking on the Spider-Man mantle while Peter is missing. I like the new dynamic between Richard and the AI Peter. Kraven is already sold to me as a high-tier Kraven iteration alongside Insomniac’s rendition from Spider-Man 2. Oh and seeing Peter Parker beat up a velociraptor is something I’ll never need to wish I could see because I have seen it and it is beautiful.

Great set up issue. Kraven is a goddamn asshole and I love it.

[Machiavelli · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ultimate Spider-Man #13 kicks things up a notch with stronger pacing and real action as Peter and Harry fight to escape Kraven in the Savage Land. It’s a big shift from the slower setup of past issues, finally letting Peter take the lead. Hickman’s inventive twists on canon continue to shine, and Checchetto’s art brings serious energy and cinematic flair to the chase sequences. You’ll need to suspend disbelief on a few plot gaps, but the momentum, emotional beats, and stunning visuals make this one of the series’ best yet. A thrilling read that proves this title still has plenty of web left to spin.

I’m a simple man. Seeing Peter punch a velociraptor is all I need to be happy. Dinosaurs! 🦖🦕

Tras ese cliffhanger de órdago del primer ciclo argumental. Jonathan Hickman presenta el panorama de lo que supone el accidentado primer año heroico del "veterano" Peter Parker del Universo Ultimate. Y desde luego, el autor golpea al personaje con fuerza. Con una ausencia de ya meses debido a que la amenaza de los 6 Siniestros de Kingpin tiene un verdadero enemigo en forma de Kraven El Cazador. Quien ha retenido a Peter y Harry a la espera de disponer todo para una Cacería a la altura. ¡Y vaya si parece que será así!

Pero realmente lo que más me ha interesado de lo presentado aquí es cómo la identidad heroica de Peter como el trepamuros de Nueva York sigue activa... Esto puede ser lo que impulse todavía más esta cabecera por parte de Hickman. Quien a sabido aprovechar esta oportunidad conceptual de tener un conjunto familiar para el personaje de Peter Parker en un enfoque más "provechoso" que lo que por ejemplo vimos en el MK2 que nos dio a "MayDay" Parker o esa atolondrada miniserie de Abrams hijo.


Marco Checchetto tiene un gran desafío visual en lo que parece que será "La Salvaje Cacería de Kraven".

[No_One · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ladies and gentlemen, this series has begun to find its stride.

Hickman, thanks for being subversive in such a fun way. We finally get Black Cat 🐈‍⬛ meeting Spider-man. Except, it’s actually Richard under the mask, and actually, the mask that the suit belong to is very sentient and posing as Peter? Wild stuff. Nice little turn of events that’s keeping me engaged and interested.

As always Marco is one of the best of his generation and his art is always exciting (and filled with cinematic debris!).

LET’s GO HICKMAN, KEEP COOKIN’.

[Macqueron · Rating 2 out of 5]

Les histoires où les méchants décident de jouer à la chasse avec les héros m’agacent. Cela donne lieu à des scènes d’action, mais ça a déjà été trop exploité. Et c’est d’autant plus agaçant ici où un numéro est publié tous les mois: on peine à croire que 2 mois se sont écoulés au début de l’histoire, et le cliffhanger de fin ne trouvera probablement pas de résolution direct. Encore plus frustrant: les dialogues du milieu prennent une place folle pour rien.
En revanche, la piste narrative autour du fils de Peter est très intéressante

[Marcus · Rating 4 out of 5]

In the clutches of Kraven! I really like how we’re kicking off the sinister six with high stakes and an interesting challenge for both Peter and Harry. Kraven himself seems like normal universe Kraven but that’s okay. It’s also interesting to see what’s happening with Richard and the picto-suit Peter back home.

[Raymond Paquette · Rating 5 out of 5]

Peter's secret is exposed and Kraven is on the hunt. This was a great one. I liked Richard's exploration of the Venom suit and the banter between them helped fill in a lot of the blanks. Now Pete and Harry vs Dinosaurs.

[Micah Glus · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series continues to be peak. The Most Dangerous Game with Kraven is the best concept. Excited to see how it turns out. I also am interested in Richard potentially being "Agent Venom" and having Black Cat as a love interest. Just truly great stuff happening.

[Nicky · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another stellar issue, I love the heart and the edge of this series; the danger of the Maker's world really adds something to the story. I may have to go back and read the introductory mini now.

Hopefully the next issue isn't a one month jump again?

[Gab Andrade · Rating 4 out of 5]

4 estrellas.

Ver como el traje parece ser un Venom, apoyando al hijo de Peter es muy curioso, siento que puede implicar una sucesión o algo.

La integración de la nueva Black Cat me llama mucho la atención.

Y el topo, siendo enemigo de los 4 fantasticos, aquí, me llena de dudas

[Emiliano · Rating 5 out of 5]

They got Symbiote Spidey!

What the balls is happening! Peter and Harry have been gone for months and Richard is trying to be Spidey now. Kraven is scary as hell he simply hunts for the love of the game. I’m loving how intense this shit is !

"you got any storytelling" "this issue we got aura"

[Ushnav Shroff · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another stellar issue; a solid 8 on 10.

[Oliver · Rating 4 out of 5]

Best issue for a while - I’m still not 100% sure how I feel about this taking place in real time so we’ve missed a whole month since the cliffhanger ending if the previous issue though

[Cooper Hillier · Rating 3 out of 5]

I’ve finally caught up. I love this series so much!

[ComicBookCult Luke · Rating 5 out of 5]

A stunning, mindblowing issue that left me craving more. I enjoyed this issue and I’m enjoying this series so much I just want more.

[Jason Holtzman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was another fantastic issue. The art was great, as always, and I loved the storytelling elements. The tension, stakes, and commentary on AI were all well done.

[Aaron · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not where I was expecting this story to go both with Peter and the suit.

[vk chompooming · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! A great read, but still not better than Bendis's run. I hope there is some backstory for this story arc.

[Naseef]

Loved seeing Richard taking over as new Spidey and loved his interactions with the suit Pete.

They did the Jurassic World Velociraptor meme pose

This is a better Savage Land story right now over Rogue’s.
