Meh
Drawn to ultimate spiderman 160 like a moth to a flame, i toddled down to the local comic shop to purchase an epic issue. Or so i thought. This issue was disappointing to say the least, with Peter Parker essentially being killed by an accident. That's right. Not a supervillain, bomb or mystery illness. A "£$%ing accident. This was a giant slap in the face and defeated the purpose of the Green Goblin's presence and spiderman's maturation as a crime fighter; would it have been acceptable for superman to fight doomsday, only for an exploding truck to kill superman? Its sad that this ruined an otherwise good book, as Bendis arguably handled peter's dying moments well. However, Osborn did not feel crucial enough for the story arc and the actual death of Spiderman felt like it was too prolonged. It would have made more sense if the Punisher's bullet had killed him, but the writer just had to milk an extra issue out of the story arc for marketing purposes. Overall, this issue could be described as a mediocre sendoff and a missed opportunity that felt forced
