This month through the revolving door comes Jimmy Palmiotti to help with inks and Richard Isanove back to color. Look, it\u2019s Morbius. Not the dramatic redesign you\u2019d expect, either. This one starts with the strange choice to remake Spider-Man\u2019s encounter with Blade in Ultimate Spider-Man Super Special<\/a> almost verbatim, with Bendis replacing one Spider-Man quip and having Blade tell Spider-Man his name before threatening to eat his heart for breakfast this time. This is marked \u201cMonths ago\u2026\u201d I guess they thought it was easier for the fabled new reader than just saying \u201csee USM Super Special!\u201d But that\u2019s 5 pages of story I already bought in my new issue of USM, and that\u2019s kinda lame. Anyway, a caption over the last panel has Kitty telling Peter they\u2019re a hot item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like Storm\u2019s tiny violin and Peter \u201cwriting that down\u201d with his finger. Great stuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JJJ\u2019s glasses are very distinguished. Peter reads Ben\u2019s account of his interview with Jennifer Grunwald, also the name of a staffer in Marvel\u2019s trade paperback program who was popular on the forum. Here, tho, she works at the public library, and recounted to Ben how a strange man came up to her, and then a weird druggie feeling took hold, and next thing she knew, she was in an alley getting her blood slurped out. She woke up in her own home, and then Ben came \u2018round to hear her story, and see the bite marks on her neck. Even she doesn\u2019t want to admit what it was, but deep down\u2026 she knew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boy, the appearance of Palmiotti on inks is very visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oof. Tough times for the kids. While the angst settles, we skip ahead to Ben Urich back at Jennifer\u2019s door, wanting to follow up, when she opens it to reveal she is now wearing the requisite sexy bride of Dracula kind of number and fully a vampire now. She asks an unseen person if she can eat, and, given the greenlight, chomps down on Ben\u2019s neck. The next day, cops are at the Bugle because Ben has disappeared. Peter looks at his vampire story and assumes the worst. Correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s Morbin\u2019 Time! Next issue, we\u2019ll see how all this turns out. Is Ben Urich a vampire now? That would be an usual Ultimate twist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
