Ultimate Spider-Man By Jonathan Hickman Vol. 1: Married With Children

Arrived in perfect condition. This is the best current ultimate run. This trade is obviously the beginning of the run and builds the world very well. I recommend the ultimates fix the world before this. And ultimate invasion.

I've been a comic book reader since the 90's and have seen the industry go through ups and downs. I gave up on comics when the writers became too political and put their agendas above mythos and quality writing. The final straw for me was when Marvel decided to make Captain America a freaking Nazi. With that being said, I have kept up a little bit with my favorite writers, including Hickman. I have been a huge Hickman fan since his Fantastic Four run, though, I will admit, I was not a big fan of his X-men. I thought in his X-Men run, he went a bit too far with the world-building, and lost track of the characters. This Spider-Man series, however, so far, has me tentatively excited for Marvel comics again. It's just classic great story telling, and I think Hickman has done a superb job. Hickman can get wordy at times (though thankfully, not as wordy as Michael Bendis) but in this series, he has really kept it simple and clean. The world building in this Ultimate universe has not gone too far off the original Marvel Universe, while building on fresh ideas. I really enjoyed the relationships between this Peter Parker, his family, Uncle Ben, Jonah Jamison, and Harry Osborne. Hickman achieved bringing this Spider Man back to basics, capturing the nostalgia of what makes Peter Parker Spider Man such an endearing and beloved character while giving it a fresh take without blowing up the mythos. You can tell Hickman truly respects the characters and didn't want to obliterate the lore as so man current writers do in their hubris.

Good book

Great book, been reading this online but i really wanted to see the art and book in person, in hand. It's all amazing but for a "brand new" item I am a bit disappointed. On the back cover the bottom left corner seems to be soaked or wet by some type of liquid? It's covered by tape. Still not sure if I should return it or not or maybe an exchange. I did get it on sale for around $13 but it said it would be new

One of the best Spiderman comics I have ever read--and I have read a fair share of comics. I think what drew me in was how adult it was (not in NSFW way): the dialog is good, the art is really good, the characters are very interesting and are not flat like some of the characters in Marvel 616. I want this to be the main Spiderman--anyone can relate to him, esp. older nerds like me.

Such a great book, I meant to get this at my local store but they sold out. Now I've parts 1 and 2 can't wait for Part 3 this fall.

As a lifelong Spider-Man fan, I’ve read countless iterations of the character, but Jonathan Hickman’s Ultimate Spider-Man is something truly special. The story is original, bold, and absolutely phenomenal, breathing new life into the mythos while still respecting what makes Spider-Man great.Hickman has long been one of my favorite writers—his work on X-Men, House of X, and Secret Wars was groundbreaking, and he brings that same level of depth and world-building here. The storytelling is sharp, layered, and gripping from the very first page.And the artwork is absolutely stunning. Every panel is beautifully crafted, capturing the emotion, action, and energy of Spider-Man’s world in a way that makes it impossible to put down.This is exactly the kind of fresh, innovative storytelling I was hoping for. If you’re a fan of Spider-Man or Hickman’s work, this is a must-read. I can’t wait to see where this series goes next!

I absolutely love this comic and it's my first Spiderman comic
