Whether if you're an old school fan or someone who is looking to get into comics, this is the best of the bunch for you to dive right into. No tie-ins, no backstory needed to understand what is going on, no to anything requires you know anything before hand, it's all starting at zero and climbing up from there. For those of you who don't know, this is the comic series that not only jump-started the Ultimate Universe but saved Marvel Comics during a very dark time, plus helped get the first live-action Spider-Man movie off the ground. So much respect is deserving towards this series because without it... who knows where Marvel as a whole would be. We probably wouldn't have the MCU if not for this series. But anyway, long story made short, Marvel was in big financial trouble from the 1990s to the early 2000s, forcing them to sell off movie rights (Fantastic Four, Hulk, Spider-Man, and X-Men) and take a risk in rebooting Spider-Man by bringing in Brian Michael Bendis to write, while Mark Bagley did the artwork. And the rest is history! I promise that there will not be any spoilers, although that's not necessary as I am sure a good majority of you know how it will go with these first 7 issues that are collected in this, but it will spoiler-free regardless. One thing I absolutely love about this volume is how it takes it time to set so much up. For all 7 issues, this is just the origin story of Peter Parker and his journey towards becoming Spider-Man. And yeah, I know we are all sick of hearing the origin (probably a close 2nd behind Batman's), but you have to understand that this was made in the year 2000. By that point, there were no movies. And the only run was the main 616-universe, which only had a few pages dedicated to the origin of Spider-Man. If anything, this started the trend of overusing the origin story. This series literally takes a couple of issues to build up towards the first appearance of Spider-Man, while building up Peter as a character. And speaking of which, I like the characters a lot. Ben and May Parker are amazingly done in this volume. We get to spend time with Ben and witness his relationship with Peter. And May is not treated like an 80-year-old woman in this version. Mary Jane is also revamped in a way that makes a lot more sense. Yes, she is beautiful, but she has an intelligence and friendship with Peter that allows for their romance to flow very well. But that being said, I do have a problem with certain other characters like Flash, Kenny, and even Harry Osborne for being too one-dimensional, even if it was because they wished to give more time to the other characters. The changes done are very smart ones. Instead of radiation being the source of Peter's powers, it's now genetic experimentation. Instead of Norman being an insane guy in a goblin costume on a glider, he's a Hyde-like-goblin-monster. But the best change is how more realistic this version of Spider-Man is. This Peter Parker faces real problems that don't come off as too soup-opera-ish. He isn't saving the world like his 616 counterpart is, but he's still saving lives in ways that make him feel like a low-level superhero as opposed to taking on real threats like Thanos or Galactus. And above all else, he feels far more human. And that's about it for all that I can talk about without spoiling the comic. I highly recommend this to the 100%! I also recommend this as a gift for the kids, although physical copy will be a little hard to come by. But regardless, this is an amazing comic series that deserves to be read.

After 5 issues, I can say I'm hooked, and will definitely be getting the next trade collection of Ultimate Spider-man. The artwork here, while a bit off in some instances, can be downright stunning. I really enjoy the bright, light-hearted tone that is used here, though I know some people probably won't.(fans of Batman, for example, who like a darker vibe) Everyone is free to have their opinions on what they enjoy, and it's understandable if this kind of style just isn't for you. But, for me, ultimate spidey does it right, with extremely colorful imagery that I really enjoy. The writing is a bit harder to judge, as I'm not exactly what you would call "experienced" when it comes to comics. I will say some of the terms used are a bit dated, and from the censors put in place of curse-words, it's clear this series is meant for younger readers. Apart from those minor issues, I can't really find too much to complain about relating to the writing, Overall, Ultimate Spider-man Volume 1 did what I wanted it to - it introduced me to comics with positive results, and made me want to read more of them. It displayed its world and its characters to me, and I like what I'm being shown. Give it a look and decide for yourself, but for me, this was a good beginning to a new hobby, and it was well worth the money. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 1: Power and Responsibility - SPIDER-MAN: MILES MORALES VOL. 1 - MIGHTY MARVEL MASTERWORKS: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN VOL. 1 - WITH GREAT POWER... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/10096418-ultimate-spider-man-vol-1-power-and-responsibility](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/10096418-ultimate-spider-man-vol-1-power-and-responsibility) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
