I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Ultimate Spider-Man vol 10: Hollywood by Brian Michael Bendis (Writer), Mark Bagley (Penciler), Art Thibert (Inker), Scott Hanna (Inker), J.S. Smith (Colorist), Chris Elipoulos (Letterer)


In the previous comic, Norman Osbourne forms the Sinister Six with Doctor Octavius, Electro, Sandman, Kraven the Hunter and Spider-Man as its members.  He does this because they are all being held captive in a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. holding facility where Dr. Henry Pym is trying to rehabilitate them enough to stand trial.  Spider-Man isn't being held but once the others get out they convince Spider-Man to work for them or else they'll hurt Aunt Mae.  Spider-Man with the help of S.H.I.E.L.D. take down the Sinister Six and put them back in prison.

In this comic Spider-Man is dismayed to learn that Sam Raimi is making a Spider-Man movie with Tobey Maguire in it.  They even use actual footage of him flying through the air for the movie.  And Spider-Man isn't getting paid one cent for this movie.  Which is money he could use.  Mary Jane is the only one who knows his identity but with Gwen Stacey living in the house it won't be long before she finds out his secret and she blames Spider-Man for her dad's death even though it was an imposter dressed like Spider-Man who killed her father.

Doc Octavius broods in jail but not for long as someone opens the door where his arms are being held and he can still control them even with them not being attached to his body.  It isn't long before he hunts down Spider-Man for revenge for putting him away in jail in the first place.

I love how this comic uses the real-life making of the movie Spider-Man and how that effects Peter Parker.  The art has also come a long way and gotten really good. I think it's because they are no longer using a computer to do the coloring but an actual artist.  This storyline is amazing and I give it five out of five stars.
