Director of Shield: guys, gather round. I have a solution you'll want to hear. Remember how all those super villains got out?
Staff: the ones who almost killed the president?
D: yes, them. Well, last time we locked them up in the same building right next to each other where they could talk and coordinate their attacks. So this time...
S: yeah?
D: we lock them all up in the same prison they escaped from and put them right next to each other
S: ....
D: oh and the one I shot in the head at point blank range is totally alive but it's okay. He probably has zero super powers
S:
S: ...are you taking transfer requests, ma'am?
D: nothing but lately. It's super weird

One of the marks of a great story is that even if you know the ending, you are still affected by the telling. This is the case in point. I almost teared up towards the end of the book. I know Bendis is an amazing writer, but this is beyond powerful. I am excited to see the fallout, pun intended.

It's great to see Bagley back to cap it off and you can see how he's grown as an artist since his time at DC back then. There are also moments of real poignance. But, here's the thing... I just don't buy it. This isn't disappointment in changing the status quo, as I've already read a good chunk of the Miles stuff. It just feels kind of contrived. There isn't enough here to distinguish why Peter would meet his end in this situation compared to the other dozen times he's faced off against Norman. There isn't enough to push him and the things made to hamper his progress in earlier issues are only there to progress the plot. It doesn't feel organic. Despite Ultimate Spidey being significantly more grounded and vulnerable than his 616 counterpart, this just doesn't feel like a big enough threat to take him down. The fakeout in Ultimatum felt more believable.

Pete just thought he might as well go ahead and read something that would get him all misty-eyed on a depressing Sunday afternoon.
Mission: Accomplished. With gusto.

Bendis takes his Spider-Man story to its logical conclusion and oh I cried.
Editing to add a personal note:
It's covid times and I took a couple of weeks to read through Ultimate Spider-Man because this was something I read and loved in the past and, hey, I had never read it through to the end (because depression that's why).
Ultimate Spider-Man is one of the best comics series I've ever read fullstop. And now it's ended and I feel afloat. So I think I'll jump right into Miles Morales.
I truly did not expect to come out of this a Spider-Man fan.
