Ultimate Spider-Man #20
In this standout issue of Ultimate Spider-Man, Peter Parker and his classmates grapple with the aftermath of Harry Osborn’s absence, while Kitty Pryde tries to settle into a quieter high school routine—only to be surprised by a visit from Iceman. With Johnny Storm joining them, the group heads to the beach, where an unexpected transformation turns Liz Allen into something eerily like the Human Torch. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and brought to life with dynamic art by Stuart Immonen—whose cover captures the moment’s intensity—this issue blends emotional weight with the kind of thrilling, unexplained mystery that defines the Ultimate Universe.
