It&#8217;s a battle royale between the Ultimates and five Spider-Man villains in Ultimate Six, eventually, after 5 issues of build up, as Peter Parker largely does not appear and then Spider-Man just stands around watching the fight later. Somehow the Ultimate equivalent of the Avengers has a hard time taking out a bunch of guys Spider-Man beat on his own, and one of them is that running joke of a character, Ultimate Kraven. A real misfire. But over in the main book, a fight with the Enforcers leads Spider-Man down the path to Kingpin&#8217;s new scheme. He&#8217;s trying to get a puppet elected mayor, but after candidate Sam Bullit is exposed by Ben Urich over JJJ&#8217;s furious objections, Kingpin is thwarted due to the heroic efforts of Spider-Man and a humbled J. Jonah. JJJ fires Peter for asking him a tough question, and then admits his mistake and rehires him. MJ&#8217;s terrible dad reads her diary, miraculously not learning Peter is Spider-Man, but tries to forbid her from seeing Peter anymore, but then her Mom kicks him out of the house. Spidey first encounters Ultimate Black Cat, a disgruntled Fisk employee who&#8217;s stolen a mysterious tablet from him, and who Elektra has been hired to kill. Doc Ock breaks out of jail just as Sam Raimi is making a Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock movie, like in real life, and the ensuing battle sees Ock flee the country in a stolen private jet with Spider-Man in tow, a climactic battle at a Brazilian airport, and Gwen figuring out Peter is Spider-Man when MJ freaks out about the news. Plus, Kong gets to be an extra in the Spider-Man movie. I think this one got away from me. I think the idea is sound, but it kind of turns to white noise. There&#8217;s some good drawing in there (And some bad drawing), but it&#8217;s just kind of a mess. Spider-Man &amp; Doc Ock should&#8217;ve been bigger, I don&#8217;t think it has a focal point. But, what can ya do? This one&#8217;s got no swipes. I realized working on it that that&#8217;s 3 Ultimate ones in a row with no direct quotes, and as fast as I&#8217;m going through them, I wanted to make sure to highlight more of Bagley&#8217;s time on the book before it&#8217;s over in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USM 46-59, Ultimate Six 1-6.
