Customer review of: Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 19: Death of a Goblin Customer Rating: Summary: Hard to Transition Comment: I mean the artwork. When you read over 100 issues by the same artist, it's gonna be hard to transition to a new artist. Granted, any artist can draw pretty good superheroes - features are less defined since most of them are under masks and costumes and have certain really distinguishable features - but this is not the case with illustrations of real humans and that is where the new artist falls short. They are, of course, in another style since every artist wants to be unique and have his or her own style. The new style really takes some getting used to if at all possible. Many details in the human drawings are missing which was what made USM such a hit. The minute details and expressions that are so unique to this book and so critical to the writing of this book are gone and it's really not the same anymore. The new artist, Immonen draws pretty good adults and action sequences, but really falls short on the teenagers which Bagley really had a knack for. Unfortunately, most of the success of USM are the stories about the teenagers and their everyday life which really connect to kids and their lives in terms of dialogue and events which you really cannot find in a lot of comics and the original Spider-Man series. I was not really a fan of the orignal artist, Bagley, in the beginning, but he really won me over in the end with his skills in drawing kids with real emotion. The new artist is more suited for non-stop heavy dozes of action sequences which you can really find in almost every comic. Customer Rating: Summary: A review for THIS product Comment: As far as my taste in Marvel goes the characters alone in the TPB had me ready to buy it the second that it came out. For anyone who is a fan of the teens of the original MU (Spider-man, Human Torch, Iceman) you should buy this based on their inclusion alone. HOWEVER, the story itself is a little mishmashed. The story begins as a typical day in the life of Peter Parker. We are at school at Midtown High, with Mary Jane, Liz Allen, Kenny,and former X-man Kitty Pryde. Then, out of nowhere, Johnny "Human Torch" Storm, and Bobby "Iceman" Drake just happen to appear for various reasons on the same exact day (and HOW exactly is it that the general population doesn't no Parker is Spider-man?) All in all it is a good trade. The goal of the first arc is to introduce Firestar, which is done interestingly and differently then the main Marvel Universe. The Omega Red story is kind of a throwaway, but the real gem is the Shocker story, giving us insight on the goofball that Spidey beats on on a regular basis. A good buy. Customer Rating: Summary: The Clone Saga done right. Comment: Ultimate Spider-man is a fantastic book series to begin with. Couple that with the fact that Bendis took one of the most notorious stories in comic book history and fixed it... well, you just need to read it. The volume contains what would take two trade paperbacks to hold and it looks good on a shelf. Of course it looks best next to the other eight volumes of the series, but you get what I mean. Customer Rating: Summary: Best USM in a while Comment: The opening of the book is a nice change of pace from the recent clone craziness, but it all comes together for one of the most memorable USM endings ever. Stuart Immonen's art is fantastic! It seems much more emotive than his work on Nextwave and suits the book to a T. He's even controlled his habit of giving women giant, bouffant, 80's hair [for the most part]. Personally, I like his stuff here better than Bagley's, which, while always being reliable and consistent, tends to sometimes lack energy and excitement. Ten thumbs up! Buy this if you want a great Spidey read! Customer Rating: Summary: Why the duplicate book? Comment: First off, LOVE all the Ultimate Spider Man books. Got em all, great stories by Bendis as well as great art... My only problem with this Volume is why did they release that skinny, smaller version a couple of months ago? I thought that it would be like a side story, then continue in Vol. 9. That sucks. So now I have all the Ultimate series on my shelf looking all prestine and sweet then I have this small, skinny SpiderMan and a couple Marvel Zombie books that weren't the same size.... I know, small gripe. Overall though, this has got to be one of my favorite stories.
Editorial Reviews: Peter and his Aunt May have perhaps the most important conversation of Peter's life. It's a gut-wrenching, emotional roller coaster you'll never forget. And Spider-Man is on the call when there is a huge explosion in the side of the Triskelion - the side housing superhuman criminals. From the acrid smoke emerges a man seething with vengeance - a man who wants Peter Parker dead! That man is Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin! And for the web-spinner, things are about to get out of control! The artistic baton is passed from longtime penciler Mark Bagley to stunning new ongoing artist Stuart Immonen, of Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate Fantastic Four fame! Collects Ultimate Spider-Man #112-117.
