Learning Curve (Ultimate Spider-man Vol. 2)


Reeling from his uncle's death, his new abilities, and Green Goblin's attack on his high school,* Peter Parker has a lot on his mind.  As he comes to grip with his powers, his search for his uncle's killer leads him to Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin.  Frustrated by Fisk's control on the City, Parker decides to take him on . . . but is he in over his head?

Volume two of the Ultimate Spider-man story arc was as enjoyable as the first.  You see Spidey developing a passion for justice while coming to grips with his need to be circumspect in his actions.  He may be super . . . but he's not invincible.  In addition, Peter starts working at the Daily Bugle and lets his crush Mary in on his secret.  The story is still developing . . . and the foundation is promising.

Rating: A
