Ultimate Spider-Man #3

In this pivotal 2002 issue of Ultimate Spider-Man, Peter Parker faces a moment of crisis when his attempt to stop a criminal ends in failure—leaving him shaken and questioning his path. A powerful reminder from Uncle Ben echoes through the story, grounding the character in the core principle that defines him: "Un grand pouvoir implique de grandes responsabilités." Written by Brian Michael Bendis, Bill Jemas, and Nicole Duclos, with dynamic art by Mark Bagley and inks by Art Thibert and Dan Panosian, the issue captures the emotional weight of a hero’s first real test. The cover, penciled by Bagley and inked by Transparency Digital, perfectly frames this turning point.
