Double Trouble (Ultimate Spider-man Vol. 3)


Dr. Otto Octavius, injured in the explosion that created the Green Goblin,* awakens from a coma to find four metallic arms welded to his body.  Frantic with rage but plagued with amnesia, "Dr. Octopus" sets out to find and destroy Justin Hammer, the person Otto believes responsible for his condition.  Meanwhile, Kraven the Hunter arrives from Australia with one target on his mind: hunting Spider-man.  Finally, new girl Gwen Stacy arrives in Peter's high school and immediately makes her mark.  Is Spidey up for all this?

Volume three continues the excellent series.  Art, story, humor, message, and dialogue are all good.  Here, the media starts to understand that Peter isn't the bad guy.  He, meanwhile, isn't focused on misperceptions but his ultimate calling: to use his great power responsibly for the good of all.

Rating: A
