I love Ultimate Spider-Man. It feels classic and interesting whilst being so new and fresh. This Peter had the responsibility of life sorted and figured but was so dissatisfied with his life he never got to have any power to go with it. That’s why I love this new origin for 6160 Peter. It’s so relatable. We’ve had those moments where we needed to “wake up” and take the leap because we think it’s the right thing to do. As for the rest of the series outside of the origin? Delightful. Uncle Ben and JJJ are such a fantastic pare paring and I loved issue 8 so much because we got to see how they are lonely, clearly needing each other but can’t show it to each other. Is it a perfect series? No, I still want more time with Mary Jane and her relationship with Uncle Ben. That’s a paring we NEVER get in comics and they are both equally just as important to Peter. I could see MJ being close to Ben growing up next door as he’s the father figure she always wanted. I think issue 12 with the preview pages seems to be giving us some more MJ and that’s great. I also want to see more of Peter’s relationship with Richard. Peter seems closer to May and k want Hickman to show that story of a parent struggling to connect with their kid, still loving them but not knowing how to show it. AI Venom teases are great but it’s Harry’s teased heel turn that I’m most excited for. Remember he is the one to give the power and responsibility line. How ironic that the person who said that line take it in a dark direction

Yeah I think you really nail the appeal of this Peter's struggle in the first issue. The whole "I should be doing something more" and "Something is wrong here" was a nice way to frame the fact that the Maker prevented Peter from ever becoming Spiderman. Issue 8 was just an all around fantastic issue I agree. I'm also really digging the fact that JJJ is a really likeable character in this series. I agree that MJ and Richard have been on the back burner a bit, but sometimes certain kids connect with certain parents, and that also seemed kind of natural to me. That said, I think the reason I waited this long to make this video is that it just takes time for the story to really expand on things. Ultimate Spiderman does progress slowly, but each issue feels like its just focusing on one major plot point primarily, and that really helps make each issue feel meaningful. Yeah, I like the fact that Venom is now most likely going to be an AI/Tech suit created by Howard Stark AND that its actually a sort of clone version of Peter. I also like, as you said, that the Harry's darkness is being slowly hinted at, and having Norman Osborn as "his" AI, is a great way to have that whole inner goblin voice thing work in this universe. Appreciate the insightful comment here! Thank you!
