Ultimate Spider-Man by Jonathan Hickman Vol. 1: Married With Children Paperback – 10 Sept. 2024

I can’t get enough of this series, it pains me that issues are released monthly. I bought this compendium to get caught up on the series and I devoured it, leading to a purchase of the second and a trip to the comic book store to buy the other issues that will be part of release #3 in September. A cracking retelling and a definite page turner.

The new ultimate universe is great and Spider-Man comics are probably the best. Art in this comic is beautiful. I do wish this TPB included more comic book issues though.

Alternate universes are rarely as good as the original, but it's so satisfying to see Peter Parker and M.J. happily married and supporting one another as they raise two kids. It's fun to see Peter team up with someone who is usually an enemy, and I can't wait to read more in this corner of the Spider verse.

This is a fun and interesting opening arc. I very much get the feeeling that Hickman is going for a bit of a slow burn, with the new ultimate universe will no doubt end up crossing over and having some sort of overarching plot at some stage. I kinda hope they stick with this storyline for long enough and it stands alone enough to be a great series but time will tell.Although this is very much an alternative take on spidey, I can't fathom why marvel can't give us elements of this in the 616 version. Miles Morales should be the young, carefree spider and Peter should be allowed to age but until then, this is the next best thing we will get

As someone who is grown with spiders stories, this is exactly the type of story I like to read.The ultimate universe rules and kicks ass.It was a great read

Beautiful artwork,interesting story. This is what the main titles could have been like if Quesada hadn't One More Day - ed us.

This is what Marvels' Spiderman/Peter Parker should be like

Great writing and art, with a new spin on the Spider-man story. Looking forward to volume 2.
