Ultimate Spider-man #105 (Spoilers!)

[ultimatespyder20]

No more predictions my friends, it's here, and pack full of spoilers. So if you do not want to know what happens turn back.



The issue starts off at The Baxter Building where Reed Richards is asking Peter if he wants to be cured. Peter is astonished, but tells Reed he'll have to think about it. Peter takes off to go see Aunt May, and Mj stays behind at the Baxter Building. Minutes after he leaves Nick Fury shows up asking where Peter is so he can contain the situation. Mj can't understand why Fury wants to arrest Peter so much and tells Fury that in a way Peter looks up to him as a father figure. This gets to Fury and he leaves. Next, Kitty and the X-men fly over Queens looking at the damage. Jean listens in on S.H.E.I.L.D. Agents thoughts and hears that Peter's aunt is in the hospital. Next Page, Peter sits beside Aunt May's bed feeling horrible about what has happened. He begins to talk to her (even though she is asleep). He tells her he is so sorry for lying to her and that he should have told her. He also tells her he thinks of her as his mother. Then Nick Fury walks in. Peter gets pretty angry with him for building the spider-slayers. Fury tells him that he did it incase Peter snapped and became some big super-villian. He just wanted to be prepared. He tells Peter that is he doesn't screw eveything up that he may become something special. As he leaves he tells Fury to tell Reed that he says no to the offer. Outside the room Jean & Kitty are cloaked listening to the conversation. Kitty begs Prof. X to erase Aunt May's memory so tht she won't remember Peter being Spidey, but Prof. X says no and Kitty gets pissed. Inside the room May wakes up and tells Peter that his costume is horrible (I love tht line) and she hugs him with tears in her eyes. Back in Queens Mj is reunited with her mom. Somewhere else Peter & Spider-woman meet. She tells im tht she is going to leave and become Jessica Drew and maybe be a super-hero, and then they hug as Jessica says, "Ready for the most awkward hug ever?" (another good line). Next page, Nick Fury stands in a S.H.E.I.L.D. facility with a group of scientists looking at Scorpion & Gwen-Carnage sedated in two display tanks. Fury tells the scientists to get to work (interesting:rolleyes:). Queens the next day, Peter looks at the damage at his house. Mj walks up. She tells him that she told her mom Norman Osborn attacked her and Spidey saved her. Mj's mom comes on the scene on she tells Peter tht he will be staying with them. Mj tells Peter tht she is glad tht she has him back and they kiss. In the background Kitty watches as they do. Later, as Mj brushes her teeth she looks in the mirror and shes a reflection of Kaine behind her. She turns around screaming, but it's only Peter behind her.

The End

My Opinion

Wow. Great issue. Everything has finally been tied up and we now see where this series will be going. I like tht Peter didn't take the cure. Fury told him he would become something special, but by special what does he mean, and what is he going to do with Scorpion & Gwen-Carnage? Hopefully we may find out before to long. I just hope we won't have to wait until issue #200. I was so glad Xavier didn't erase May's memory, tht would have just destroied this series for me. I like how May & Peter will be able to talk more now. Spider-woman I hope we will see again, and soon, she'll be a good character to use in the series. Mj sheing Kaine in Peter's reflection is pretty creepy. Could she now be having mental issues after being through so much? Like I said I really enjoyed this issue and I'm looking forward to Ultimate Knights :D.

Wow, powerful ending to a great saga. With Bendis in the Ulitmate version of Spidey, he may have change the mythos of the hero for the better. :D

[MaxofSteel]

Sounds like a great issue. Can't wait to pick this sucker up. :p

[Magneto Rocks]

So basically a predictable, clichéd ending. Well I wish I could say I was surpsied...

[Beast]

Boo to the end of Spider-Man and Kitty as a couple. :p

[Xanrn]

Well I don't think it is the end.

But if it is, I have to go with Magneto Rocks.

Screw MJ this is Ultimateverse not freakin 616.

Fury told him he would become something special, but by special what does he mean, and what is he going to do with Scorpion & Gwen-Carnage?

I just figured Fury meant that if Peter doesn't do anything stupid (like get himself killed or become a villian), he could end up being a great hero one day. Peter already does some pretty heroic things, and he's just a kid. Fury's more or less telling him if he sticks with it, he could probably accomplish great things once he grows up.

I loved the ending. As for MJ having mental issues now, I think it's just post-traumatic stress. The whole experience has been exactly what Peter has feared, and the worst thing may be that MJ and Aunt May have survived it. That is to say, now they have to live with these horrible memories, and Peter has to deal with theim living with those memories. MJ's gonna need therapy for the forseeable future. Aunt May seems to be willing to accept Peter as Spider-Man, but at the end of the day, he's say his nephew/surrogate son, and he's still a teenager. No matter how capable Peter is as Spider-Man, she's still gonna see him as a child.

Mj and Peter getting back together really doesn't annoy me. Kitty was alright, but I'd rather see Mj & Peter together. They've known each other longer, and they really do seem like they are mean't to be with each other. I do hope Kitty & Peter may still be able to be friends.

I was into this arc till the end. I didn't like the fact that Richard was a clone. I wanted May to die and Richard to be the one who knew Peter was Spider-man. I also hated the MJ is back and now I guess Kitty is out. I thought the whole Kitty thing was a great change and now it feel like it was all for nothing.

I liked this issue. It was a strong ending that resolved every dangling plot thread this arc brought up. It had strong character moments on every other page that we have been waiting for a while. I like that peter had a chance to say goodbye to Jessica because 1) it was a lightearted break from the serious moments, and 2) Jessica deserves a good send off (by the way, what's the Michael Keaton referece about?). I wish that Gwen's fate was a little more resolved, but I guess we'll have to wait until Venom's return before we see her again. the bit with MJ at the end: horrible flashback, or a taste of things to come?

So, now the clone saga is officially over. It's had its ups and downs. The poor guy has had his whole life turned upside down, but Peter kept fighting and he managed to pull it all together in the end. It will take time, but his life will recover. That's the theme this issue wanted to convey (after all, his house was busted, but still standing right?).

i'll be more generous than usual: 9/10

i considered waiting untill the next tpb before seeing ultimate spider-man again, but changed my mind after reading this issue. i guess that's high enough praise.

Enjoyed this issue. It's amazing how much I like the non-action issues of this book. Bendis is just wonderful at hitting right the character moments. I think the new status of the characters at the end of the clone saga is interesting. There's lots of fun new places to go with the stories from here.

Between this and New Avengers, Bendis is on a roll this week!!!

[shadow of a madman]

I liked the little jab at Bush in there.

[Omega Alpha]

Oh, great, Pete is with MJ again, how original:rolleyes: Finally USM was doing something completely different, with great potential, and we come back to "Spidey's girlfriend helpless against supervillain" or "Spidey's superhero activies cause problems in his relationship" :( . And, while it had good moments (specially with Fury and Pete), it was all very predictable and clichéd.

[DoctorDoom]

Eh , I thought I'd hate MJ as his gf again, But I find I don't mind it. And I loved the awkward hug.

I kinda wanna see more Spider-Woman.
