Ultimate Spider-Man #2

As with the first volume of Ultimate Spider-Man, this new comic offers an alternate history to Peter Parker‘s life in a separate dimension.

Choosing to let himself be bitten, and wearing a suit provided by Stark, Peter Parker has become the not-yet-amazing Spider-Man.

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s. The second episode of Marvel’s Spider-Man begins to flesh-out the cast of supporting and recurring characters including Norman Osborne (Neil Ross), and his silent partner the Kingpin (Roscoe Lee Browne), who hire Spencer Smythe (Edward Mulhare) and his son Alistair (Maxwell Caulfield) to build him technology to kill Spider-Man (Christopher Daniel Barnes).

Spider-Man - Night of the Lizard

Spidey Sunday takes us back to the 90s and Spider-Man‘s (Christopher Daniel Barnes) first run-in with the Lizard (Joseph Campanella).

The episode plays things close to the vest using the comic blueprint for the characters to build from without making too many obvious changes. Many of the classic character beats can already be found here with Peter always struggling to make ends meet earning what he can by selling photos to J. Jonah Jameson (Edward Asner) and The Daily Bugle, balancing his life as both Peter and Spider-Man, and always feeling guilty about not being able to do more for Aunt May (Linda Gary).
