Lookin mighty creepy, there, buddy. As we begin the end of this story, we get deja vu\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, I didn\u2019t just accidentally open USM 123<\/a>, we\u2019re just back to this. But that\u2019s not what we care about, we care about this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top 3 Aunt May moments, all-time, any universe. What a firecracker, Ultimate Aunt May! Spider-Man punches Eddie hard enough to smash him through the porch railing and absolutely, 100% kill him, but this is comics, so he doesn\u2019t even look all that hurt. I mean, his head should be a liquid. Peter is in a rage, but a word from May prevents him from doing anything he\u2019ll regret. Instead, he swings away with Eddie. May then clutches her chest, telling herself she\u2019s ok\u2026 and then some unseen suit come in to ask if she\u2019s ok. Meanwhile, Spider-Man dumps Eddie on a roof while berating him, and we see Gwen has followed behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Symbiote fight! And in a very broad sense, we\u2019re back to the PS2 game, except it\u2019s Gwen in the red goo instead of Peter. They keep at it until Venom absorbs significantly more of Gwen\u2019s goo, turning into the big beastie on the cover. And I mean big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did Bendis just really like Kung Fu Panda or something? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is it about Ultimate Venom that makes every fight an anticlimax? Every time! But we got a pretty important epilogue situation here\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stark and Danvers have a showdown over Gwen, and in the end, Tony wins, saying the Parkers will look after her. Peter wants to know about this story\u2019s prodigious amount of loose ends\u2026 Roxxon, Trask, Eddie Brock, Beetle, Silver Sable\u2026 but Carol isn\u2019t in the mood to share after losing the fight over Gwen. Aunt May frets they\u2019ll have to move again, but Tony Stark gives the convenient explanation that a guy like this gets what they want, they don\u2019t bother you anymore, because they don\u2019t want to get caught. Ok sure. While all this is going on, poor Gwen is sitting at that table with no one talking to her, and getting anxious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, ok. Strangely, Ultimate Peter Parker will never fight Venom again. That\u2019s it. Isn\u2019t that weird? What a bizarre deal for the Ultimate version of the character. But, there you have it. A whole lot left unsaid. And what is Ultimatum? Nothin\u2019 good, I\u2019ll tell you that. But that\u2019s for next USM block. We got one more thing to see in this one\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
