About the author

A 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.

So Samuel L. Jackson Nick Fury called together people from the Ultimate Universe and the Marvel Universe in order to find a way to put the worlds back how they were.


That's all that happened basically. There is some finger pointing and some parallel universe conflict, but that's it.

Not worth the dollar I paid. I have no clue what’s going on, so many characters, Spider-Man is slightly funny, and there are multiple types of Thor’s. Artwork is good but not good enough to want me to continue this.

I’m going to pass on this series.

This was a heck of a lot of arguing, and not really much of else. Spider-Man argued (and was whinier than I like him to be), Starks were arguing, everyone just... argued. And whined. No. This is what I don't like about Spider-Gwen. However, this still had 3 stars because Spider-I-Don't-Want-People-To-Know-My-Name-Man had a few of his good puns and the plot could be interesting. But honestly, I do not want to read a whole comic of arguments.

FROG THOR!

I didn't really know what to expect here having not read Ultimates comics in probably 10 years, but I found enough here to make it fun. The Spider-Man conversation about his "clone" and his identity were fun. The big line-up was cool to see together as well.

There is allot of promise in the final page where we see quite the opposition force headed their way.

It will be interesting to see how this mini-series plays out. We all logically know where they are going, hell, it's even in the title, but it would be nice if they at least end it in style.

Having never read any of the Ultimate universe comics I found this to be an ok introduction to it and how the characters relate to these events. I felt it also gave some insight on the characters in each universe. In this issue I could easily put my self in the shoes of spider-man who is trying to figure out what is going on - just as many new readers might.


"HOLD-HOLD-HOLD ON! HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM KNOW MY REAL NAME?", "NOW I'M SUPPOSD TO LIVE HERE...AND EVERYBODY KNOWS MY NAME. IS THIS FAIR?"

Muy pobre. No solo la historia no tiene mucho sentido sino que tampoco encaja dentro de las Secret Wars. Se supone que es el final de ultimate y ni siquiera los personajes de ultimate don protagonistas.

Nothing happens in this book......so why did the story start here?

[Chris Conley · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a very interesting idea that was slowed down by excessive bickering between characters that didn't go anywhere. Still, I gave it a bump to four stars because of Frog Thor.
