The last chapter opens up and it is revealed that Norman Osborn(also known as the Green Goblin) is alive and hold captive at S.H.I.E.L.D. by Carol Danvers who kept him alive to run tests on him.Osborn quickly manages to escape from his cell due being more evolved than last time and kills the agents who are trying to stop him than recruit Electro,Vulture, Kraven the Hunter,Sandman and Dr.Octopus than they escape together now Norman calling them 'Men of God' who are brought a second chance to smite their enemies once and for all.Akward but cool ^^''.
Peter meanwhile reunited with Mary Jane and are having lunch when suddenly Steve Rogers(Capain America in disguise) tells him that they need to speak privately and they head to the cemetery where Cap tells him that he(Spider-Man) is just a 17 years old kid who needs to stop what he is doing or will get himself killed one day.Spidey ignores Cap and swings off only to later witness the massive battle between The Avengers and New Ultimates at the Queensborough Bridge.Peter that receives a phone call from MJ who tells him that Norman Osborn is well and alive and escaped from custody together with other villains.
Norman also witnesses the fight in live TV and tells the others that they need to go there while Octopus objects and tells Norman that his is their chance to take off once and for all to which Norman beasts out(literally) and after a not-that-long fight, he kills Otto.
Same time, Spider-Man sees that the Punisher is trying to shoot Captain America so he jumps in front of his idol and catches a bullet for him.Nick Fury and Captain America are amazed of his bravery and after that they take the Punisher down but the bridge collapses and Spidey wakes up not much later only to find himself alone and heavely bleeding from his found and notice that his so called 'idol' , Captain America and the others took off leaving him there to die.
Later that night, Johnny Storm(Human Torch of the Fantastic Four) and Bobby Drake(Iceman from the X-Men) are now living with Peter, are headed home and ready to enter the house when they notice that Osborn and the four remaining men on his side are looking for Peter.Johnny and Bobby quickly take on the fight with them and for a split second they overpower them by knocking Norman out from the chessboard.Now Electro,Kraven,Vulture and Sandman are the only ones left.Peter arrives quickly and takes Vulture out too while out from nowhere Peter's aunt, Aunt May shoots and kills Electro and Peter deals with Sandman and Kraven as well.She and Peter hug each other only to realise that Norman returned and he is ready to take him down.The ultimate fight begins between the two arch rivals and while Peter is already dying of his wounds Norman claims that that is the 'day of Reckoning' and that God wants Peter to die.Mary Jane arrives on the scene and drives a truck into the Goblin taking him out for a bit while she and Peter embrace and kiss to see themselves still in one piece , Norman wakes up and Peter sick of everything, takes the truck and beats the cr@p out of Norman and finally the truck explodes seemingly killing Norman and sending Peter to his death as well but not before saying goodbye to his aunt, May and Mary Jane.As the others begin grieving his heroic death, Norman can bee seen in the flames whos body reverted back to norman form and his seemingly dead body doesnt move but his lips curve into a smirk leaving the door open that Spider-Man's greatest foe may be alive.
I'm not going to lie, I've been reading Ultimate Spider-Man since 2003 or 2004 and haven't been excited for a chapter like this last one for quite a while now.This comic was with me in everything, good,bad etc. and has a very special place in my heart.Brian Bendis(writer) did a terrific job with this book and the penciles Mark Bagley,Stuart immonen,David Lafuente and Sara Pichelli did also amazing jobs on the book.They all became my favorites.
Thank you for this amazing comic Marvel and Bendis, thank you for being with me in the last 7-8 years.You will be greatly missed.
