About this Collection

This volume collects the lead-up to one of the most pivotal events in the Ultimate Universe, as Peter Parker faces mounting threats from both old foes and new dangers. The story sets the stage for a tragic turning point, with the Kingpin, the Vulture, and other classic villains closing in, while Peter struggles to balance his responsibilities as Spider-Man with his personal life. Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley deliver a tense, character-driven arc that builds toward the shocking events of 'Death of Spider-Man.'

In Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #3 (2011), Peter Parker steps into his hero role with a crash course in responsibility, as Iron Man personally oversees his first training day—just as the shadows of the past, including a shocking murder witnessed by Black Cat, begin to catch up with him. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and brought to life with dynamic energy by artist Sara Pichelli, this issue captures the intensity of a young hero on the edge of greatness, with David Lafuente’s striking cover setting the tone for a story where every choice could change everything.
