THE SCOOP: It made headlines in the mainstream media! It sent readers scrambling for sold-out issues! Now The House collects issues #1 - #7 of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, the book of 2000! THE STORY: You know the story-boy gets bit by spider, boy gains great powers, boy suffers great loss, boy learns that with great power there must come great responsibility-but now red-hot writer Brian Michael Bendis, fan-fave penciler Mark Bagley and Marvel Comics' own President Bill Jemas put a new spin on that classic story, propelling the world's #1 super hero into a new millennium! At first people scoffed, but now everyone's praising the series that re-introduces the wall-crawling, web-slinging, wise-cracking Spider-Man to a whole new generation! THE BUZZ: "It's not unusual for comic publishers to relaunch classic characters for new readers. What is unusual is for them to be any good. ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN is a delightful exception... amazingly, Bendis and Co. have improved the wall-crawler mythos by mining richness out of the Lee/Kirby margins." -Entertainment Weekly THE FORMAT: 192-page trade paperback.
