Comic Overload! - Ultimate Spiderman

As part of my ongoing quest to read all of the graphic novels in my local library I have recently finished the first two Ultimate Spiderman collections, Power and Responsibility and Learning Curve. The Ultimate Spiderman comic is basically a republishing of the original Spiderman stories, but updated for the 21st century. The first two books take us up to about issue #15 and cover Spiderman's begginings, including that spider moment, the Green Goblin's creation, the wrestling chapter, the first encounters with Kingpin, Mary Jane finding out the truth etc. It's great stuff and I've really enjoyed it. I love the whole Peter Parker being a teenager, which kind of got lost over the years of rubbish cartoon spinoffs (but happily has been recaptured in the films). I'd recommend this to anyone who has seen the films but not read any of the comics, you'll enjoy them.
