It's amazing 14 volumes in that this series still is such high quality.
This time Hammerhead is making a move on Kingpin since the big guy can't do much do to being in the public eye too much. This leaves Spider-Man trying to stop Hammerhead but also not wanting to help Kingpin. On top of that this introduces Moon Knight as well as Iron Fist and Shang-Chi. So we have a lot of characters coming into the fold on top of Black Cat and Elecktra returning.
It's a wild adventure with some funny as hell moments of Spidy faces off against everyone. Awesome fights, fun quips, and Peter at the breaking point of losing his mind and maybe even a place to stay. I love the ending to this. My only negative is how mean he is to Mary Jane sometimes. But Teenagers are dumb.
A 4 out of 5.

I know Marvel thinks its best thing is crossovers, but what if it’s not? Like you’re throwing in characters like Shang-Chi, Iron Fist, and Moon Knight, and maybe they’re great in their own books, but this is Spider-Man. He doesn’t really know them, and almost all we see of them is fighting stuff. There’s a reason the Black Cat stuff works so much better, and that’s because she’s part of Spider-Man’s world. Those characters have a relationship. Crossovers turn heroes into randos.
In the running for one of the best arcs to come out of Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man.
Before crossover eventswere de rigueur at Marvel, it was fun to see characters show up in other characters' books. Daredevil in Spider-Man, Punisher in Daredevil, X-men in Avengers. You didn't have to read any other books, they were just in your favorite books for a month or two while a completely different story took place in their own books.
Of all the Ultimate books I've read so far, this volume feels the most like a non-crossover crossover. e get returns from Ultimate characters we haven't seen for a whle, new Ultimate versions of classic Marvel characters, and a whole slew of plot contrivances to being them all together.
It's a sprawling mess, and the fight scenes aren't so great, but it's fun.
I've noticed in several volumes of Ultimate Spider-Man that the action reads horiontally across a two page spread, as opposed to the left page's actions preceding the right page. It's often sloppy and not easy to follow, but I believe I've encountered that in other Bendis books, but not other Bagley books, so I don't want to lay it squarely at Bagley's feet, as most of his work on this run has been superb.
This is fun in a "Check Out This Caper Where A Bunch Of Side Characters Show Up" way, but it's far from Bendis's best work on this series.

3.5 stars!
I used to hate this issue because of the chaos of having a Kingpin-Hammerhead throedown happen along with Elektra, Black Cat, Moon Knight, and Iron Fist showing up. Skimming through some of the gang parts made this more enjoyable, and seeing Peter make the decision to spend more time as Spider-Man and less as himself was interesting.
Captain Jean De Wolfe is by far the most interesting character here and I loved every scene with her until the final reveal.

This one was fun. I haven’t watched Moon Knight yet so I don’t know his story, we’ll see if he appears more. Any always good to see Black Cat and Fisk.
I'm running out of ways to call each of these pretty fun in a way that doesn't become repetitive.
