Ultimate Spider-Man : Your Friendly Middle-aged Superhero.

If you aren't familiar with Marvel's New Ultimate Universe--a universe where the status quo for our favorite heroes is flipped--what better way to get yourself started than with everybody's favorite friendly neighborhood Spider-Man?

In Ultimate Spider-Man #1, Peter Parker isn’t a high schooler struggling with algebra and crime-fighting. He’s a grown man, a husband, a father. It's only after Tony Stark reveals that he was supposed to have been bitten by a radioactive spider that Peter is able to choose to become Spider-Man. 

This is a perfect jumping-on point whether you're brand new to comics, a lapsed Marvel fan, or someone who’s always wondered what would happen if Peter Parker got his powers later in life, with everything--love, loss, and fatherhood--already on the line.

Meanwhile, J. Jonah Jameson and Uncle Ben Parker abandon the Daily Bugle to uncover a conspiracy that reaches all the way to the city’s power broker, led by none other than Wilson Fisk. And with shadowy figures moving behind the scenes, Peter’s first appearance as Spider-Man won’t go unnoticed.

This is a Spider-Man born of grief, shaped by responsibility, and fighting not just for a city, but for a second chance.

This is the Spider-Man reboot fans didn’t see coming.

With powerful storytelling by the prestigious Jonathan Hickman (House of X, Secret Wars) and cinematic art by Marco Checchetto (Daredevil, Punisher), Ultimate Spider-Man #1 brings weight, emotion, and thrilling action to the next evolution of Marvel’s most beloved hero.
