About the author

Brian Michael Bendis

4,409 books2,574 followers
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.

Previous issue: Mary Jane has broken up with Peter Parker as she can't handle the pressure of being Spider-Man's girlfriend.

In this issue, Peter Parker is really bummed out and starts looking at old videos of his parents. As a reader, we feel his agony and that I think is because the writer and artist duo have done a fabulous job.

Ultimate Spider-Man by Brian Michael Bendis has got to be the next best Spider-Man series after the OG. He writes so well and creates so many emotions in the readers and all feels related (even though we already know some key events).

I think it's possibly the best Spider-Man to read for modern fans who are just starting to get into Spidey and comics.

I loved how the story moves and the way Bagley draws. So many panels where he draws expressions and no dialogue and as readers we understand exactly what the characters are feeling.

Nomor ini berkisah tentang hubungan Peter Parker dengan seseorang bernama Eddie Brock. Kedua orang tua mereka berteman dan juga mengalami nasib yang sama. Meninggal dalam kecelakaan pesawat yang sama. Setelah menemukan video acara piknik bersama, Peter mencari Eddie untuk memberikan kopian video tersebut. Mereka berjumpa dan Eddie menunjukkan sesuatu yang menurutnya adalah warisan bagi mereka berdua dari orangtua mereka.

Quoted: "Let me tell you -- thing is -- it only hurts this much now because you have nothing to compare it to."
