About the author
Brian Michael Bendis
4,431 books2,634 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.

The one where Peter reveals his secret identity to MJ.
This is such a sweet comic. Bright beautiful illustrations. The panels are used in the best possible that as readers we can literally feel what is going through their minds and hearts.
Peter Parker and Mary Jane sitting on a tree.....K.I.S.S.I.N.G!!!

Oke, komik serial Ultimate Spider-Man barangkali bergerak dengan alur yang cepat, namun persisnya di nomor inilah saya punya perasaan bahwa komik serial ini juga akan berlangsung singkat. Perkiraan saya waktu membaca nomor ini dulu, adalah sekitar seratus lima puluhan nomor (bandingkan dengan The Amazing Spiderman yang saat itu sudah mencapai empat ratusan nomor lebih).
Mengapa saya bisa menduga hal itu, karena di serial ini tokoh superhero utamanya sudah membuka identitas dirinya sebagai superhero pada orang dekatnya (atau lebih tepatnya: pasangannya) di nomor tiga belas. Identitas rahasia, dalam dunia superhero adalah semacam kartu truf yang tidak akan begitu saja diserahkan oleh sang pemilik (itulah makanya Civil War jadi salah satu even yang menarik dalam jagat Marvel, karena berawal dari peraturan bahwa setiap superhero harus mengungkapkan identitas aslinya). Membuka identitas asli berarti membawa konflik ke ranah yang baru yang akibatnya potensi cerita-cerita dengan tema berkaitan dengan hal ini akan banyak berkurang.

Flew through this one, lots of fun.
And a big change from every other Spider-Man incantation in terms of keeping or revealing the secret to Mary Jane.

a more slow and intimate issue about spider-man revealing his identity to MJ. i really liked their conversation and the deepening of their relationship though.

very cute issue. the “tiger” line felt a little out of place or forced but still a very fun and amusing issue :)
