Ultimate Spider-Man Omnibus #1

Spider-Man lunges toward the viewer in a breathtaking close-up, one red-gloved hand reaching out from a New York City brick-wall backdrop — a composition by Joe Quesada (with colors by Richard Isanove) that feels both intimate and kinetic. This 2012 omnibus collects a sweeping run of Ultimate Spider-Man, making it a substantial way to experience the wall-crawler's modern reinvention in a single oversized volume. If you've been looking for a place to dive deep into this celebrated corner of the Marvel Universe, this handsome hardcover is a very fine starting point.
