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.

Because bullhonky, Mysterio somehow creates a device that opens a portal to the Ultimates universe where (I think 616-Universe) Peter Parker gets zapped and meets Miles Morales aka Ultimate Spider-Man. They have some conveniently book-sized ‘ventures before the status quo is reinstated. And that’s Spider-Men. Any good? Nah. NEXT!
I loves me some Miles Morales comics and even though his creators, the Bendyman and the Pitcher-laydee, reunite to helm this one, it just felt hopelessly contrived and pointless. Sara Pichelli’s art is super awesome and the scene where Peter meets Ultimate-universe May, Gwen and MJ was surprisingly moving and beautifully written, though, my word, Brian Bendis is milking the hell out of Ultimate PP’s death, ain’t he? Gawd, enough already, dude!
Most of the book is a run-through of tiresome superhero comics cliches that couldn’t have been more dull to read: the two stupidly fight when they first meet, they stupidly fight the villain at the end, and the whole crossover is predictably irrelevant. The ending is an unsatisfying cop-out too.
Spider-Men is spider crap! My shitty-comics-senses are tingling - I suspect there be no more good Miles Morales/Bendis comics left!

After a hard day of keeping the city safe, Peter Parker finds what clearly looks to be a criminal's hideout. Inside he discovers a bright light and what appears to be a fish bowl. Spidey has stumbled into Mysterio's lair and before he knows what's happening he's transported somewhere else and it's daytime. As he prepares to swing away he bumps into someone quite unexpected.
Of course Peter freaks out especially as everyone here knows Peter Parker was Spider-Man. As Peter tries to find out what's happening he causes some unfortunate pain.
Spider-Men is a fun short series that I imagine any fan of Miles Morales and Peter Parker would enjoy. It was good to see an adult Peter from another dimension get to bond with Miles Morales. I also had a laugh or two when they compared the differences between the different Marvel Universes.

The awaited crossover between the regular Marvel 616 universe and of the Ultimate variety featured two versions of the company's most iconic character. It was also a rare opportunity for Brian Bendis to write the classic Spider-Man not as the class clown as he appeared in his Avengers titles but as the main lead of his own title and as a matured and more experienced hero. Even after three readings, I discover a lot of stuff I missed initially. There is a lot of things going on for this five issue miniseries.
This is not the first time Bendis has written a Peter Parker Spider-Man in his own solo book. He has written Peter initially in his acclaimed first volume of Ultimate Spider-Man. He killed Peter off and replaced him Miles Morales, whose ascension to the role of the arachnid superhero garnered a lot of media attention for his being of African-American and Latino parentage. His take on classic Peter is as a more mature veteran hero who n the course of the series became a big brother figure for Miles. They did have a little clash early on in the series when they first met. It came on because of Peter's unease of his civilian identity being public knowledge in the Ultimate universe.
Ultimate Peter was outed as Spider-Man when died a heroic death at the hands of his worse enemies. This noble sacrifice gained Ultimate Peter a status of a folk hero, but his life was not the only price paid. Aunt May suffered guilt and its greatest heroes, the Ultimates, blamed themselves for what happened.
Critics may call this story a money grab, since this crossover fulfilled a lot of fan dreams, but Bendis used it to further important plot points for the Ultimate Spider-Man ongoing. The story gave Miles web shooters and some badly needed advice in how to be a hero from classic Peter. It also allowed Aunt May to get closure. Seeing an adult Peter made her realized she made the right decisions raising her own nephew. It also had light moments, when Peter, Miles and Gwen shared and compared the adventures and life of both classic and Ultimate Peter. This all happened in issue four, which in my opinion is one of the best single issues of 2012.
Bendis definitely knocked this story out of the park, but the art deserves as much praise. Sarah Pichelli handled the art and is also part of the regular art team on the Ultimate Spider-Man ongoing. I would definitely would want to see more of her art, especially on the top tier Marvel titles. She has a great talent in capturing and depicting the right facial expression in her characters. Nowhere is it more evident than in the fourth chapter.. There isn't much action though she could execute those scenes but it is her character work that is really a joy to behold. The interaction of classic Peter with his counterpart's family and friends when he visited Aunt May's house. Was priceless. This supports my assessment that issue four was one of the best single issues of 2012.
I've read this story in singles, digitally on Comixology and the Marvel app. Marvel has released a hardcover collecting these issues and I give it my best recommendation. Read it in print or digitally, it was one of the best stories of 2012 and proof that Bendis still has the skills.

You know, on paper this concept must've sounded like a guaranteed home run -- team up Peter Parker and Miles Morales under their arachnid alter egos and let the webs and quips fly. Too bad in execution it only had a good start, a great scene in the middle (Peter is reunited with Aunt May and Gwen Stacy - the book's best part), and then it sort of forgot about having much of a solid ending.

This was so good omg!
So 616 Pete (the main one duh) is fighting Mysterio and gets transported to Earth 1610 and its a big deal as its the first crossover between the two universes but I love the way Bendis handles it like our Pete freaking out about finding about this earth and then what he does and how it impacts him and then the stuff with meeting Miles and Fury and the Ultimates and especially May and Gwen here and yeah its fun seeing the different story callbacks and how these two universes different but finally in the end the fight with Mysterio and well Miles getting the blessing of the main Pete to be Spider-man so..!
Its one of the best lets say event comics in a way and its really well done and makes for an epic read and I love the way Bendis writes Pete freaking out and Miles admiration for him and the two teaming up to fight the villain and also the interaction with other characters here are awesome plus Pichelli's art which is just a revelation here!
So a definite recommend from me!!

So it's a gimmick book. There's no other way to describe a reality hopping adventure that allows two different versions of Spider-Man to meet: Peter Parker from the original Marvel universe and Miles Morales from the Ultimate universe. It's a gimmick, the sort of thing that's usually meant to drive up sales. It doesn't need to be good. It doesn't need to have heart. And yet, against all odds, Spider-Men is good, and it does have a heart.
But I might be biased at this point. I've become a big fan of what Bendis has done with the Ultimate Spider-Man title, so I was predisposed to like this. I expected that I would. I expected that it would be fun to see Bendis write an older, more mature Peter Parker and to let young and inexperienced Miles Morales see that being Spider-Man can be a long term deal. And I did get that. Peter and Miles worked great together, and I would've been happy to have this miniseries stretch out a few more issues, just to get to see them taking on a few more villains together. It was fun, a lot of fun, and that was all I could have hoped for from a miniseries like this.
So far, so good. And then Peter goes and does the one thing that I should have expected him to do: he goes to see Aunt May. Now, this could have been overwrought, but it wasn't. No copious weeping here. Instead, the visit ends up being mostly happy for Peter, who gets to see a version of Gwen Stacy who is alive and well, and for May, who gets to see her boy grown up into a man she can be proud of. There's that heart I was talking about. Issue #4 is mostly taken up with that meeting, and it is by far the best of the miniseries.
It isn't all fabulous. The main villain, Mysterio, never really comes across as a credible threat. Frankly, I just can't take the guy seriously. There's never any doubt in my mind that Tony Stark will fix everything, so there's no tension that Peter will wind up stranded in a world where he's officially dead. That's a relatively minor thing, though, because Mysterio himself doesn't take up that much panel space. This isn't about him, it's about Peter and Miles. Also, I could have done myself a favor and read this a little later on. I'd only read the first collection with Miles, and I probably should have read at least through the second, if not the third.
Yes, it's still a gimmick book. I'm not claiming it's anything but. But for a gimmick book, it's very well-written, with the characters themselves at center stage.

Wow what can I say? This is really, really good. There I said it. Written by the supern B.M. Bendis this is a tale of two different realities. The "normal" one and the "Ultimates" universe. In one, Peter Parker is Spiderman and things are more like our reality. In the Ultimates world- Peter Parker was killed as a teenager and Miles Morales became Spiderman. This is the universe where Nick Fury is a black guy, and SHIELD is a US run organization (not the retards from the UN) and operates out of the Triskelion.
Well Mysterio opens up a portal and send our Spiderman to the Ultimates universe. What follows is a really well done story. All in all there is not a great deal of action, but the writing is wonderful. From Peter meeting Miles, to meeting Nick Fury (the black one..)..to running into Gwen Stacy and Aunt May (since he is dead in their reality)..this was done is a great way. Bendis' writing is always funny and very true to the Spiderman style. The artwork is gorgeous. rare indeed is a comic that is so well written that it can make me laugh or reread it immediately after finishing it. It is that good. An instant classic. A must-have for any Spiderman fan. I'm glad I added it to my collection.

This is the best thing Bendis has written in years. It's up to the same high standard as his early Ultimate Spider-man stuff.
It's a simple story: Peter Parker, of the regular Marvel Universe, ends up in the Ultimate Universe. It's the crossover they told us would never happen. But it did, so we may as well get over that and enjoy it for what it is.
I think doing a '616 Peter meets Ultimate Peter' story would have been boring, since Ultimate Peter was just a younger version of 616 Peter. But, Peter meets Miles, and given the origin and short history of Miles, it's a much more interesting meeting.
I've yet to read The Death of Spider-man story or the introduction of Miles, but I don't think that matters here. Since this story is through the eyes of Peter, it doesn't matter if you haven't read an Ultimate Spider-man comic starring Miles, since what we need to know is in the story. Obviously, if you're heavily invested into the Ultimate Comics, moments like Peter meeting Ultimate Gwen have more emotional weight.
Sarah Pichelli's art is also gorgeous. Like, it really actually is. It's clear that she takes as much time drawing her facial and working on character body language as she does panelling action scenes. Her clean sleek lines are so nice to look at. She is going to be a HUGE artist (she's nearly there already).
I'll admit, I was very skeptical about this series when it first came out. But once I got over that and sat down and actually read it, I really enjoyed it. It's a Spider-man story for the ages, and we're always in need for more of those.

Even though Brian M Bendis created Spider-Men as a five-issue mini-series, I thought that this short run deserved an 8-12 issue set.
Having Peter Parker jump through a portal and actually meet Miles Morales in a world without Peter Parker was brilliant. They battled for a bit and got to learn each other's powers which I thought was pretty neat.
When Peter Parker meets Aunt May and Gwen Stacy was truly touching. I almost cried. I was touched but no tears fell down.
On the other side, I felt as if Mysterio was a pretty weak villain and never really posed as an immediate, deadly threat. I'd like to see more of Peter and Miles fighting side-by-side. I thought their quips were pretty funny and enjoyable!
Not only was the storyline exceptional and art was just as stunning, but in the end Bendis had me wanting more.
I highly recommend this read. Five out of five web shooters... or venom blasts.

A really fun crossover.
Basically this is a closure volume for Peter's ultimate family. May and Gwen get to say things they wanted to say to Peter. Miles gets some nice lessons in from Peter too on how to be a Spider-Man. Some great art, funny moments, and touching heartfelt scenes. Just Mysterio is OKAY as a villain and the weakest part.

I used to love Brian Michael Bendis’ writing - specifically during his Ultimate Spider-Man run. I bailed on that title sometime before he traded his version of Peter Parker for the debuting Miles Morales, not because of the writing but because life got busy and I fell off from reading comics. So I missed Ultimate Peter Parker’s final fate, which was just as well, since everything I’ve read about it rubbed me the wrong way.
Bendis’ writing in the Marvel Universe proper has been more hit or miss for me, and more of a miss when it comes to Spider-Man, funnily enough. It wasn’t until reading SPIDER-MEN, however, that I realized what the problem was: Bendis writes our Peter Parker as the adult version of Ultimate Peter Parker - and that isn’t quite right. He’s just a liiiiiiittle too dorky, a liiiiiiittle too childish… a liiiiiiiittle too 2000s, if that makes any sense. And it should, to anyone who read Ultimate Spider-Man.
With that in mind, yeah, I wasn’t too crazy about SPIDER-MEN for a good chunk of the story, even though the core concept - our Peter Parker is transported to the Ultimate universe to meet Miles Morales - is solid. Necessary even, if they were planning on getting Miles into our universe down the line. But yeah, I was kind of cringing through a lot of it, just wanted Peter to stop talking and for the story to be over… and then we got to the heart of it all. And our Peter met Ultimate aunt May and Ultimate Gwen, and they all truly had to reckon with what was happening.
It’s only a few pages, but it’s beautiful comic book writing. It serves as a coda to the Ultimate Spider-Man series, it justifies this weird adventure for our Peter Parker, and makes all the other cringy stuff worth it. Bendis might not have a handle on OG Peter Parker’s voice, but he’s still a great storyteller, and these are characters he loves. The emotionality of the sequence completely snuck up on me, and I couldn’t have been happier.
Worth reading, even if it starts off shakily.

Bendis is consistently great. Not easy to do for such a prolific funny book writer (some inevitable stinkers here and there).
The cliffhanger at the end of the series...I must know who/what 616 Miles Morales is!

I was so excited when I found this comic at the comic book shop! 50% off no less! I quickly bought it, quickly read it, and quickly got slightly confused.
I am not confused, am I confused? Are you confused? You are, aren't you? I think I may be too. I wish these comics came with a little guide that helped you find yourself in the comics timeline. I figure this story happened before Big Time, definitely before Spider-Verse. I also don't think Spider-Gwen and Mile Morales share the same Earth (PLEASE correct me if I am wrong), so I guess I shouldn't be too annoyed at how Gwen Stacy is portrayed in this comic? Kind of a spoiled brat vibe, or maybe just entitled? Didn't really like her. MJ on the other hand is all dark and gothic/emo (?), which is not how I think about MJ at all but I would have actually enjoyed reading of her journey in this particular Earth.
Anyways, this comic is not really about Gwen or MJ, it is about Peter Parker meeting Miles Morales! Two awesome spider men coming together, getting to know each other, and kick ass together! Sounds quite amazing, and it really was. I loved seeing their interactions, and I only wish we had more page time. Miles is so cute idolizing Peter, and Peter is just all kinds of confused cause one minute he was fighting Mysterio, then he goes through a "portal" and suddenly everybody knows his secret identity and oh they think he is dead. This is enough to give anybody a slight headache.
After a little, am, disagreement/spider fight with Miles Morales, soon enough Peter is taken to the big guns (Nick Fury! Iron Man!) and shown he is definitely not in his side of New York anymore. Mysterio of course will not leave well enough alone, and decides to follow Peter in order to "end him once and for all!" (like a good, classic, dumb-ass super villain). Peter in the mean time must navigate this new Earth, dodge Mysterio's attempt at the killing, and somehow make it back home before it is too late.
Things I am still confused about:
• What is up with Peter Parker and MJ here? Why is he so hesitant to see her? I started reading Spider-Man for reals during Spider-Man: Big Time Ultimate Collection and I THINK this takes place before then. So I have no clue as to the context.
• Peter mentions his Nick Fury is white? Come again? Is this really a thing in his Earth? Cause for most Marvel (that I know of, let's call it the "main stream Marvel world") Nick Fury is definitely black unless I am all messed up in my Earths. Please someone clarify.
Extra things I really enjoyed:
• Mile's Earth Iron Man. He just cracked me up. He was soo pissed Mysterio beat him to the inter-dimensional punch, and every time he got some page time he was just making me chuckle. We also get to see Thor and others, but Iron Man definitely stole the spotlight.
Anyways, I enjoyed the comic book for what it is and it actually gives me some context for scenes that happen in Spider-Verse when they reference Peter having met Miles before. It was a very quick read, and yes Humberto Ramos did not do the drawings (his Peter Parker is my favorite) but this artist I think is my second favorite Peter Parker. He is drawn very mature looking and all grown up. Just like I like my Peter Parkers, I am so done reading about his teenage years (or even watching him go through the same shit again and again-- though I love Andrew Garfield...)
But that is a conversation for another time, Spider-Men is definitely worth picking up!
I am not confused, am I confused? Are you confused? You are, aren't you? I think I may be too. I wish these comics came with a little guide that helped you find yourself in the comics timeline. I figure this story happened before Big Time, definitely before Spider-Verse. I also don't think Spider-Gwen and Mile Morales share the same Earth (PLEASE correct me if I am wrong), so I guess I shouldn't be too annoyed at how Gwen Stacy is portrayed in this comic? Kind of a spoiled brat vibe, or maybe just entitled? Didn't really like her. MJ on the other hand is all dark and gothic/emo (?), which is not how I think about MJ at all but I would have actually enjoyed reading of her journey in this particular Earth.
Anyways, this comic is not really about Gwen or MJ, it is about Peter Parker meeting Miles Morales! Two awesome spider men coming together, getting to know each other, and kick ass together! Sounds quite amazing, and it really was. I loved seeing their interactions, and I only wish we had more page time. Miles is so cute idolizing Peter, and Peter is just all kinds of confused cause one minute he was fighting Mysterio, then he goes through a "portal" and suddenly everybody knows his secret identity and oh they think he is dead. This is enough to give anybody a slight headache.
After a little, am, disagreement/spider fight with Miles Morales, soon enough Peter is taken to the big guns (Nick Fury! Iron Man!) and shown he is definitely not in his side of New York anymore. Mysterio of course will not leave well enough alone, and decides to follow Peter in order to "end him once and for all!" (like a good, classic, dumb-ass super villain). Peter in the mean time must navigate this new Earth, dodge Mysterio's attempt at the killing, and somehow make it back home before it is too late.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (the one bitten by the radioactive spider) spots an eerie purple energy bolt while swinging through New York one evening. On investigating, he encounters his old enemy Mysterio and is sucked into the damaged eerie-purple-energy-bolt-creating device and delivered into a different part of Manhattan, now in broad daylight.
Well, not exactly the Manhattan he knows. Turns out there is a different Spider-Man here, successor to Peter Parker and in a different suit (and bitten by a second-generation genetically modified super-spider).
Needless to say, adventures ensue.

4.5 stars
This was such a fun little mini series - even if the reasons for 616 Peter to end up in the ultimates universe were a little thin and shaky, I literally do not care if it means we get such wholesome and heart-warming Peter and Miles content!
After Mysterio develops inter-dimensional travel, Peter’s attempts at thwarting him results in him being very far from home, in an alternate universe where the beloved Peter Parker is dead. Soon enough he stumbles upon the ultimate universe’s resident Spider-Man, our sweet little Miles, and the Spider-Men duo is as delightful and charming as you’d expect.
It’s clear to see how this mini-series influenced the Into The Spiderverse movie, and I loved how much it focused on character interactions and relationships rather than being too combat heavy. Issue four in particular was unexpectedly emotional and broke my heart and made it grow three sizes in equal measure. This truly was a love letter to Spider-Man and it’s a great read for any spidey fan.

The reason this book exists is the very reason that so many people find it hard to "get" superhero comics. Briefly? There's another "Marvel Universe"* outside the regular one with all the heroes you probably know (from the movies if nowhere else**). This "Ultimate universe" has the same heroes, mostly, although with sometimes subtle, other times profound differences. Perhaps the biggest difference is that "Ultimate" Spider-Man--a youthful Peter Parker--died. In the Ultimate universe, at least so far, dead means dead (unlike the regular Marvel Universe, where people die and come back to life over and over, like clockwork). But before too long, Miles Morales, a thirteen-year-old mixed-race youth, gained spider-powers and assumed the mantle of Spider-Man. These two universes existed side-by-side on the comics store shelves for a dozen years, but until Spider-Men, there had never been a cross-over story bringing them together.
If you're confused, you probably don't read superhero comics all that regularly. And therefore, Spider-Men might not be the book for you to start with. Writer Brian Michael Bendis (who's scribed Ultimate Spider-Man from day one) does his best to set the stage(s) for this event: we get a very clear idea of who Peter Parker is, and a somewhat less-clear but still revealing portrait of Miles Morales. The first chapter opens with a several-page monologue by Peter/Spider-Man about why he loves New York City; once Peter gets transported to the Ultimate universe and Miles shows up, we see how the young hero is slowly fitting into the super-fabric of his own version of the city.
But the heart of the book--and I do mean heart--lies in the meeting, mid-point in the narrative, between "our" Peter Parker and the Ultimate versions of Peter's Aunt May May and Gwen Stacy (who, in our universe, was Peter's girlfriend until she was killed at the hands of the Green Goblin, in one of the most momentous story lines in the character's history--a death which haunts him only second to that of his Uncle Ben). Clearly, beyond the hook of the first cross-over between these universes, what writer Bendis is most interested in is these characters.
At first, May and Gwen--like everyone else--chides this adult Spider-Man for dressing up in the dead Parker's costume (his identity having been revealed to the world at his death). Once Peter unmasks and, predictably, May faints at the knowledge that her beloved nephew (at least a version of him) is alive and in her life again, the three characters have a lengthy conversation, which moves from tentative outreach and regret to gradual acceptance and, eventually, a kind of joy.
It's pure soap opera. But then, that's really what superhero comics are, when they work well. The costumes and powers and fights are part of the genre, of course, but the serial nature of superhero comic book storytelling has relied on the emotional histrionics of soap opera since at least the birth of the so-called Marvel Age of Comics in the 1960s. Writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four began the trend, but Lee and artist Steve Ditko's Amazing Spider-Man arguably perfected the formula. Bendis and Ultimate Spider-Man artist Sara Pichelli show a lot of comfort working in larger-than-life, character-based psychodrama here.
Pichelli's artwork is lean and clean and very much what good super-hero comic art looks like now, with detailed environments and some very nicely exaggerated spider-poses on our eponymous heroes. But if anything, her depiction of facial expressions is a bit restrained--which would be fine in a literary slice-of-life comic, but super-soap gives you a license to kick up the histrionics. Still, that's a small quibble. I prefer my cartooning a bit more expressive and abstracted (see: Ditko and Kirby again), but as contemporary superhero art goes, this is fine stuff. Layouts are varied but always readable, moving the story forward without much in the way of flashy distractions.
I haven't talked much about the plot or the villain here. But really, beyond the fact that Spider-Man goes to the Ultimate Universe*** and meets not only his replacement but also several other heroes, the plot's incidental to the character interactions. If you haven't read many superhero comics--particularly Spider-Man comics--the character stakes might not mean all that much to you. (Again, serial storytelling means that you get to know these characters in depth; a small verbal aside here can feel freighted with import if you've followed the characters beforehand.) But for regular Spider-Man readers, Spider-Men provides a dose of emotion and a bit of wonder. And Peter's mysterious discovery at the very end ensures that there will be more where this story came from, in some other fashion.
*Actually, there are an infinite number of them, but I'm trying to keep this simple...
**Although the Marvel movies often conflate the "original" and "ultimate" versions of these heroes...
***Where everyone talks in a mixed-case typeface, unlike the all-caps "regular" universe. No, there's no particular reason I placed this footnote in this sentence; I just wanted to shoehorn in a font-nerd reference somewhere...

Why can’t Bendis write this good all the time?
January 15, 2019
Re-read 2019: I'm on a big arachnid kick after the incredible Spiderverse movie, and this really held up on a second reading. It's still a blast. My initial opinions haven't changed, only solidified.
2015 review: What to say about Spider-Men? ... Holy web shooters this was fun.
I know people love to hate on Brian Michael Bendis but, for my money, he spins some of the best Spider-Man tales ever told. And he's really in tip-top form here.
The premise is pretty simple: Peter accidentally stumbles upon Mysterio’s secret lair. A brief fight breaks out and Peter gets sucked into a dimensional portal. As it turns out, the universe he got sucked into has its own Spider-Man: Miles Morales. And Peter Parker is dead. Let the games begin!
Simple in theory, yes. But it is so much more.
Bendis absolutely CRUSHES this. The dialogue is spot-on and he makes all of the characters come right off the page. It’s really a very… emotional experience, I guess you could say. The art is also fantastic. I don’t really know what my expectations were when I started reading it but it wildly exceeded whatever they were.
I'm sure others won't feel as strongly as I do about this but I'm a massive fan of the Ultimate Spider-Man universe and everything about this resonated with me in a positive way.

Fun, funny and occasionally touching. A great crossover event that ends too soon. I wish to hell this had gone on for a very long time - there are so many ways to mine the possibilities of these Spider-Men touching each others' lives. Just getting to see and talk to an alternate-reality version of so many people you know, love, trust or hate is an amazing confluence of wish-fulfilment and fantasy. Why *wouldn't* you want to stick around as long as possible and find out what's fundamental about people and what's dependent on circumstances?
I enjoyed Bendis' writing as always, and Pichelli's art is growing on me (though she needs to be more careful with people's heads - misshapen other body parts I can handle, but when Parker's head looks like the love child of Hammerhead and an oxen, there's a problem). But her drawing talent is obvious - and her ability to convey real emotional weight with facial expressions is huge - not to mention her ability to make action seem so easy and fluid.
Damn I really wish this had gone on for a lot longer. What's the latest trade with some Bendis writing in it? Lemme go track that down right now...

Un gros coup de cœur-
Pour une fois ce comics était super confy, un Peter Parker d’un univers qui travaille avec un Miles d’un autre univers que demander de mieux. En plus, je pense secrètement que le Peter Parker présenté dans ce comics est celui d’Andrew Garfield (selon les indices et les infos qu’ils nous donnent).
Sinon, les dessins sont super jolis, les interactions super drôle, c’est cool de revoir des perso comme Gwen/ Mj les Og Avengers ect.. Surtout quand Gwen a décidé d’être alt 😔

Na druhý čtení mě Spider-Men bavili o něco víc (neměl jsem moc velký očekávání). Příběh stojí hlavně na dialozích mezi ultimátním castem a Spideym (Bendisova silná stránka), akce a Mysterio-Scarecrow je docela meh. 3,5*

A universe crossover that succeeds in not sucking. The Miles Morales storyline continues to be strong.

I really enjoyed this its alot of fun. Peter Parker meeting Ultimate May and Gwen sure pulled on the heart strings.

Spider-Man (from age 13, so a while back) swings around and finds Mysterio who has found a portal to the Ultimate universe and Mystie throws him in the portal. Interesting premise.
But then it's dumb.
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
Mysterio thinks about shutting down the portal to banish Spider-Man forever...but he decides to send his avatar to fight him in the Ultimate universe. He jostled him, but GASP didn't kill him, so instead of shutting down the portal, he just keeps it open?
I guess the small saving grace is that Spidey explores the differences between his world and the Ultimate universe, like Aunt May, Gwen, Nick Fury, etc. But nothing really happens in this 5 issue story.
Oh, and once again Mysterio talks about shutting down the portal, but decides against it for no real reason, allowing Spidey and the Ultimates to come through and defeat him. Very dumb.
(Though, if we're being honest, if Mysterio actually acted like a villain with any brains and did shut the portal down, Bendis would have had Tony Stark make another portal because of Mysterio's avatar, but still. Dumb.)

(Read in 2012, review from 2024)
I remember this was fun and quaint to read in college after reading Ultimate Spider-Man's death. It was heartwarming seeing the main version of Peter Parker going to the Ultimate universe and meeting Miles Morales and giving his counterpart's loved ones some closure. Nothing to universe shattering for both universes but its a big story for Spider-Man fans, particular as this was one of the inspirations for Into the Spiderverse. A fun read for any fan.
