Description

I didn't read any Marvel comics in the 90s so my first exposure to Mark Bagley's art was with Ultimate Spider-Man. And what a historic run it has been : 117 issues with Bendis, the most any writer/artist team has ever done on at Marvel. Once the whole Utimate Universe ends, I believe the only series people will remember and cherish from this 16 year long experience is Bendis & Bagley's Utimate Spider-Man. Considering the huge number of issues Bagley did, I believed it would be easy to find a great iconic piece of his run but I was wrong. It probably has to do with the majority of the covers being pencils only (a no-go for me) and not that many full splash or dps (and most of them focusing on other characters than Spidey). I'm very glad that I did not settle sooner as this dps is one of the largest Ultimate Spider-Man ever drawn (or maybe the largest one?), part of the historic "Death of Spider-Man" arc and the last iconic shot of the run (before he gets bloody, hurt, etc.). From start to finish, Bendis & Bagley's Ultimate Spider-Man has been a blast to read; it's one of my favorite modern runs because it contributed to my being addicted to Marvel again, just like Bendis' Avengers, Brubaker's Captain America or Ennis' Punisher did.
