It's the ULTIMATE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN EVENT OF THE YEAR, as Spider-Man comes face-to-face with...Spider-Man! Can even Peter Parker and Miles Morales - the Spider-Men of two worlds - defeat Mysterio, the Master of Illusions?

Universes collide for the first time in one ultimate, amazing Spider-Man story! Superstar writer Brian Michael Bendis at last unites the wall-crawlers of two worlds! Courtesy of the multiversal machinations of Mysterio, the Marvel Universe's friendly neighbor-hood Peter Parker meets Ultimate Comics' new kid on the block, Miles Morales, in a landmark tale they said would never be told.

A crisis in the United States forces the Ultimates into action - and Cap, Iron Man and Thor finally reunite! Meanwhile, Kitty Pryde makes her stand - and as the X-Men fight for their lives in the Sentinel-controlled states, the war for mutant liberation begins!

What dark motivation drives reckless Tony Stark to be one of Earth's greatest heroes? What secret of Tony's has turned War Machine against him? And who or what is Ultimate Mandarin? A deadly secret lies in Tony's father's past, but exactly how much does Tony know?

Meet the new Spider-Man! Given Nick Fury's reluctant approval - and an actual Spider-Man costume by Spider-Woman - the Ultimate Universe's new kid on the block is an insider now. But on top of all the responsibilities that come with his new powers, Miles Morales still struggles with all the problems of your typical teenager.

Miles Morales, the newly minted Spider-Man, teams up with the Prowler! But wait, isn't the Prowler a bad guy?! Caught in a moral crisis, Miles must choose between battling his uncle-turned-crimelord, or joining him to keep his family safe! What path will the young hero take?

Nick Fury has declared Miles Morales a super hero; now, it's time for that super-hero rite of passage: the team-up! But the new Spider-Man's first team-up couldn't possibly be with the Prowler, could it? It will be if it's up to Miles' Uncle Aaron, who's not above resorting to threats to get his way.

TEMPORARILY SOLD OUT. BACK IN STOCK MAY 28, 2013

Miles Morales finally has his costume and web-shooters - and now he has his first A-list Spider-Man villain. There's a new Venom in town, and he's hungry! But who exactly is the new Venom, what is his terrible connection to Miles' father, and how does he know so much about Miles? As his father lies in critical condition, a desperate Miles turns to the one person who can help him: Gwen Stacy!

ESTIMATED ARRIVAL: JULY 16, 2013

For more than ten years, Eisner Award-winning writer Brian Michael Bendis has spun the tale of young Peter Parker. Under his pen, the neophyte Spider-Man blossomed from an awkward and gangly schoolboy into a tried-and-true hero, an inspiration to a world of ultimate wonder.

Afterschool super-hero training! The return of the Black Cat and Mysterio! A secret from the Kingpin's past that will start a turf war across all of New York! And it's all prelude to the most talked about story of the year!

Super-hero school is in session! The world's No. 1 peacekeeping organization, S.H.I.E.L.D., is fed up with Spider-Man - specifically, the millions of dollars spent cleaning up his collateral damage. But instead of throwing the teenaged web-slinger in jail, they've settled on a far worse punishment: after-school super-hero training, courtesy of the Ultimates!

The next era has begun. As our heroes struggle to find their place in the world, the Ultimates face game-changing threats even they can't handle. And with the heart of the team missing in action, the country's last stand of defense may be on its last legs.
