I totally agree. The writing was always good but Immonen's art has really set a new tone for the book and made it that much better.

Expectations are high, with the promise that this issue will be "the absolute worst day of Peter Parker's life ... EVER." That sounds like "Pick of the Week" potential to/for me. Plus, it's a new chapter, so everyone should try it! Can anyone tell us the history between Spidey and Red? Who's tougher?

There's no history, right? I think this might be his first Ultimate appearance (He's an X-Men villian in the main Marvel U). Unless I missed his previous appearance?

@southbymidwest-- Omega appeared around issue 65 or so, that design is Bagley's when they intoduced him to the Ultimate line. This'll be his second appearance in the book I believe.

I actually .. REALLY REALLY like this issue. Great plot and just a one-shot --- so rare these days. It does remind me of that recent episode of Spectacular Spider-Man in which Rhino attacked the Bugle and got mad at JJ, and spidey saved the day.

I liked Bagley's art a lot but since Immonen has taken over this book has been knocking it out of the park month in and month out.
