Ultimate Comics Spider-Man: Death Of Spider-Man Fallout h/c back

"I once knew a young girl - a mutant - who could look at those clouds, and force them to part, just through the power of her own mind."
"Yeah, well, where is she when we need her, right?"
"Being lobotomised."

The follow-up to ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN: DEATH OF SPIDER-MAN and Mark Millar's ULTIMATE COMICS AVENGERS: DEATH OF SPIDER-MAN in which a funeral is held, Kitty Pryde, Bobby Drake and Johnny Storm move on, and Aunt May finally has her say when Captain America tries to apologise.

"The day he died… I told him he wasn't ready. I told him he was a child and that he hadn't yet earned the right to wear the uniform. And the… the gunshot… The… wound that eventually killed him… It was meant for me. He jumped in front of it to save me."
"…"
"…"
"So after you emasculated him, even though he had proved himself a hero over and over and over again. After you told him he wasn't worthy… He saved your life? Is that what you're telling me?"

Aunt May frankly steals the show in the scenes that follow - she cups Steve Rogers' chin in her hand in precisely the way that one does when giving a small child a real piece of your mind - but that's far from all this is as the writers of the new line of Ultimate Comics join forces to set up their stalls for the future. The new, even younger Spider-Man makes his first appearance, Tony Stark receives a tempting if worryingly nebulous offer, Captain America reels from the wrath of Aunt May (there will be consequences, yes), Nick Fury and Hawkeye survey the growing unrest around Asgard and South-East Asia and… and Quicksilver goes into business.

"Tell me, Mister Hanstead - do you know what the most valuable good this country ever imported is?"
"Oil?"
"See, that is exactly what I thought myself. But no, actually - it's slaves."

Oh yes, and the biggest secret at the heart of Bendis' ULTIMATE ORIGINS is about to be made public. I'd seriously pick that book up now, if you haven't already!
