As a lifelong comic book enthusiast who has witnessed the rise and fall of numerous heroes and villains, I must say that the latest developments in Ultimate Spider-Man have me on the edge of my seat! The expansion of Spidey’s rogues’ gallery and the return of classic enemies like Sandman promise a thrilling year ahead.
20 years ago on Earth-1610, a villain named Reed Richards stopped a radioactive spider from biting a 15-year-old Peter Parker; one year ago, Tony Stark of the Ultimates sent a radioactive spider and a picotech suit to Peter with instructions for him to accept his destiny as a hero before the Maker’s return in two years. In the past 12 months, Spider-Man has faced off against new adversaries like Wilson Fisk (Kingpin), Bullseye the assassin, the Shocker, and most recently, the Sinister Six consisting of Kingpin, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, Mister Negative, Mole Man, and the Black Cat.
In the hidden realm of power, the Kingpin – a member of Earth-6160’s governing body known as the Maker’s Council – has marked Spider-Man and his fellow vigilante, Green Goblin (Harry Osborn), for pursuit. As they enter the new year, they find themselves being hunted by Kraven in issues #13-14 of Ultimate Spider-Man, authored by Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto. However, Marvel’s March solicitations hint at even more trouble for our friendly neighborhood wallcrawler, as another iconic Spider-Man villain prepares to strike: Sandman.
Based on a preliminary glance at the matter (out on sale March 12), it appears that the slippery supervillain launches an attack on the Parkers – Peter, his wife Mary Jane, and their children Richard and May – while they are enjoying a family holiday at the beach. Be sure to check out future issues of Ultimate Spider-Man, which marks the second year of Marvel’s revamped Ultimate Universe, set to grow with Ultimate Wolverine and the next installment of Deniz Camp’s written Ultimates in January.
Ultimate Spider-Man #13
In the thrilling game of deceit, Kraven takes the lead as the Six Deadly Foes join forces against Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, with the cunning Kingpin orchestrating the chase. But this time, it’s Kraven who holds the advantage in a story that pays homage to “Kraven’s Final Act,” penned by Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto!
