Bagman’s Reviews > Ultimate Spider-Man Omnibus, Vol. 1 > Status Update

Just A Guy: damn seeing Peter snap was fire. But ya not a good time to lose your cool. This issue is carried by the women. First may being the sweetest as always offering to let Gwen stay. Then Gwen hitting the “they killed my daddy” that was tough. And MJ saying the famous line that people make edits to on TikTok the your gonna die in that stupid costume. Telling Peter she loves him but can’t do it wow

Black Van: fury clutch for sending that help. But wow what an absolutely amazing telling of the death of captain stacey. Idk why this surprised me so much to see. But this is honestly so much better than the original in my opinion. OG it’s kinda clear that doc Ock knocked that shit down and not spiderman. But having it be an imposter gives Gwen amazing reason to hate Spiderman. Rip. Dies a hero every time.

Emergency: this right here is why Mj is a rider. This version of the character is by far the best I have seen/read. I cannot believe Peter clutched up being shot and hunted down by NYPD. But once again without MJ he was so fucked

Sidetracked: I think the artist changed and. Lowkey I don’t like it. But nice story about how busy Peter’s life is and how hard it can be being so young and in school and trying to be Spider-Man.

Illegal: woah what an insane twist having Harry kill or just stab Norman. Idk if he is really dead. But fuck Nick fury. Telling Peter he owns him once he is 18 is fucked. And I really hope he didn’t fuck the bag with Mj. Bro just tell her everything be honest and chill.

Circles: let’s go MJ. Honestly short issue but having Norman go psycho full injection mode was nuts. Having Spider-Man’s face torn to shreds and then having Harry see. Great art man I can’t get over it

Plasmids: ok seeing Norman’s perspective is nice because it shows he actually does go crazy when he is on this shit. Like full blown tweaker. Nice play on the death of Gwen Stacy. Good timing from shield. Lowkey this MJ is too goated to be dead

Ultimatum: nick fury being based off of Samuel Jackson is fire. He is sick. But it’s so fucked refusing to help Peter. Telling Peter Norman is gonna ask u to kill me. If u don’t he will try to kill May. I want u to say no. So fucked. Confrontation with goblin on the roof was so cool. And ending with him snagging MJ is such a good build up.

Responsibility: dude Norman is a real deal threat in this shit. Gwen is trying hard as fuck to be a home wrecker. And damn Nick fury finally pulls up.

Reflections Of: what a great change of pace. Starting off with a little crime stopping. Then the love between Mary Jane and Peter is awesome. And I feel like Gwen from amazing spiderman was based off her. Same vibe. Very cool. Very honest and good. Very loyal. I just love this version of MJ. But the end with Harry’s return and Norman pulling up on Peter and going goblin mode is a huge cliff hanger
