This was a excellent issue. From JJ part with Peter's son, to introduction of sinister six in this universe, to a nod to venom. We're in for some good shit, this run has been excellent.

[Vinicius · Rating 4 out of 5]

Uma edição um pouco mais tranquila, focando em aspectos da vida do Peter e de sua relação com a família, sendo surpreendido agora com uma nova oportunidade de emprego.

Além disso, vemos um flashback de quando o Homem de Ferro aborda ele e o Harry, contando sobre o Maker, a tecnologia dos trajes e uma suposta lista, que ainda não sabemos muitos detalhes, mas que pode ser dos heróis que não se tornaram heróis.

Por fim, temos uma deixa muito importante para o que será apresentado em próximos volumes: a criação do sexteto sinistro, liderado por Wilson Fisk.

The best Spider-Man comic in decades continues

The people running the regular Spider-Man editorial office should pay close attention to this book. The quality is beyond anything published under the 616 banner for Spider-Man in almost 20 years. The art is fantastic. Peter and Mary Jane look the best they've looked in ages. The new designs for the Sinister Six are fantastic.

Hickman's dialogue and character work is exceptional. Everyone feels alive and three-dimensional not like exposition spouting machines. I love that he feels the freedom to chill and hang out in the moment rather than just beat the plot plot plot drum beat.

This book continues to be filled with heart and humor, even as different threats creep in. I love the little moments too, the mundane ones that connect our world and Peter’s. I know some people aren’t digging the real-time progression, but I really like it. It adds something for those of us following along monthly, as we wait and prepare for the Maker’s return along with the heroes. But now we also get to relate to Peter, starring at the weather report, contemplating global warming and whether there will be a world for his kids to grow up in.

I'm not even a big Spiderman fan, but this Ultimate run has been one of if not THE best thing in comics for eight months running now. The writing is sharp and natural, the art is impeccable, and the plot is fresh despite being a retelling. Extremely enjoyable book, and the most I've enjoyed a Spiderman book in longer than I can remember. The plot threads that Hickman is setting up, the little moments he gives to every character, Checchetto’s masterful art. It's not a masterpiece, but it's one of the most fun time that I have had with Spidey in a long time.

En toda una calma antes de la nueva tormenta en la vida de Peter Parker como el incipiente Spiderman. La visita de Tony Stark parece poner una fecha clave en la vida heroica del principiante trepamuros de mediana edad que puede que sea otro motivo para que Harry pueda retomar conocidos malos hábitos de su contraparte canonica multiversal. Esto se extiende a Peter y una habilidad del traje simbióntico (sic.). Por otro lado, Kingpin acude a unos camaradas que conocemos bien, pero quizás nos pueda sorprender ciertas revisiones de personajes o inesperadas incorporaciones.

El cumpleaños de los hijos de Peter y MJ ofrece lo mejor de este número con un nuevo vistazo a Jonah y Ben Parker en estas cándidas versiones de las que destaca nuestro "J.J." logrando reconducir su cierta egolatría a una imagen de madurez que se agradece que forme parte de la vida de una versión de Peter Parker.

Another solid issue! I’m a little disappointed that they didn’t really touch on Tony being viewed as a terrorist in this universe other than a few off-hand lines from Harry, especially considering how inaccurate the cover ends up being. Still, I love how Ben and Jonah think the other’s lonely, and the birthday party was a sweet moment, especially JJ’s gift to Richard. We also finally get to meet this universe’s Sinister Six, which is full of the usual suspects and one rando being Mole Man! Sick! I love the idea that Subterranea is considered a borough under Kingpin’s control, and I’m glad that the Fantastic Four’s supporting cast isn’t being forgotten about. I wonder how Alicia’s doing… Still, we got some great reveals, like more hints about Venom, and some heartwarming moments with the Parkers, so I’d give this issue a 9/10!

[Machiavelli · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ultimate Spider-Man #8 by Jonathan Hickman leans into character more than combat, and it largely succeeds. Iron Lad drops in through a portal, revealing Peter’s picotech suit was designed to stop the Maker—putting Peter directly in his sights. There’s also a sweet touch with a double birthday party for Richard and May, where J. Jonah Jameson shares a surprisingly warm moment with Richard.

Meanwhile, Kingpin quietly assembles his own underground Sinister Six—Mr. Negative, Black Cat, Kraven, Mysterio, and Mole Man. No big fights this time, but the tension builds and the character work shines. A slower issue, but loaded with potential.

[Joey Amorim · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don’t know why I didn’t even think of it as a possibility in the beginning, considering it was black at first, but turning this new nanotech suit into a sort of A.I. Venom is a stroke of genius from Hickman! Gotta love Harry and Tony’s pissing contest over who’s the more damaged rich boy. Something about wholesome JJJ moments just hit different. I love this outside-the-box iteration of the Ultimate Sinister Six. It has just the right amount of familiar faces and newcomers to make the team exciting!

[Jason Holtzman · Rating 4 out of 5]

I continue to really like this story. The characters are great, everybody is developed well, and the art continues to be strong.

With that being said, the book is very much a slow burn, and I worry its going to fizzle out. There really isn't a clear direction of an end goal here, but I hope one materializes itself soon.

5 estrellas.

El como las historias se entrelazan y parecen, poco a poco llevar a un fin, me parece divertido e impresionante, este Spider-Man se está volviendo de mis versiones favoritas, y el hecho de que se sienta todo tan digerible, mejora todo.

Me gusta ver que el traje parece poco a poco se irá convirtiendo en lo que parece ser Venom, y ver la nueva versión del traje.

[Amazing_Peter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Curti bastante os momentos da Família Parker aqui, e é interessante ver esses pequenos deslizes de temperamento do Harry em algum momento (Destaque pra participação do Tony que foi bem legal). Muito irada essa nova formação do Sexteto Sinistro, a apresentação deles foi sensacional e mal posso esperar pra ver eles em ação

[Nacho Pena · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hickman y Checchetto continúan narrando la historia de la nueva versión del Hombre Araña en un número con grandes dosis de costumbrismo sobre la familia arácnida y sobre lo que está a venir de cara el futuro, expandiendo la historia de los bajos fondos de esta Nueva York. Con ganas de seguir leyendo más.

[Shevek · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un buen equilibrio entre lo personal y lo pijamero. La parte del cumpleaños, con el protagonismo de Jonah a la cabeza, está muy bien escrita y es enternecedora. Lo del reclutamiento de los seis siniestros es muy de opereta, pero bueno, es una forma efectiva de presentar versiones bastante distintas de algunos villanos clásicos de Spidey.

[Emiliano · Rating 5 out of 5]

HOLY CRAP!!

SINISTER SIX IS HERE!!! A very unique group of villains that I didn’t expect but I’m excited to see how it plays out. The conversation with Iron Lad was interesting as hell and noticing Harry’s reaction to the stuff was kinda scary… and I loved the family stuff in this issue it was very wholesome.

[Jack · Rating 5 out of 5]

Is it too soon to say this is the best version of JJ Jameson? I've never connected with him before like I have here. He's still the grumpy guy I know and love, but so much more endearing in the best possible ways

ALSO ULTIMATE MYSTERIO IS HIM

[Oliver · Rating 4 out of 5]

A new version of sinister six and rather than just a bunch of villains forming a temporary alliance, they all control a separate area of New York. I really like this idea, very different. Also liked the Tony/Peter/Harry scene, I feel like Harry is not going to enjoy not being taken seriously

[Giulio Basilisco · Rating 4 out of 5]

So much set up for so many things: Tony warning of the Maker’s return, Harry leaning more into his villainous side, the Sinister Six. All the while we are treated to a fun and comforting bday party for the kids lol

[Nightwing’s Thiccness · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the take on the Sinister Six being different borough powers in NYC. I’m glad we got a good chunk of story from Peter before switching to 5 villain intros and not being a full issue of expo dump.

[Leo Kessie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent story progression!! Loved seeing the introductions of the new Sinister Six, and the Parker family interactions, specifically the ones between Richard and JJJ, were beautifully written and drawn!

[Nolan McNulty · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh boy, Peter is starting to slip into known habits (wearing the suit all day everyday)! I liked the second half as well, where we see the origin of the Ultimate Sinister Six, however some of the villains in the group I find to be odd choices.

[ani · Rating 5 out of 5]

paused my show just to read this once i saw that it dropped

[Raymond Paquette · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not bad, slightly anti-climactic. I was expecting a fight with Iron Man. It sets up the Sinister Six nicely and really dissed the Goblin.

[Ryan Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

This comic somehow manages to get better/create more intrigue as the story progresses, I can’t wait for what’s next

[Julian Chambliss · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent

I continue to be so impressed by the clever twists and turns in book. Hickman has a feel for this new world and the characters that pulls you in.

[Madi Herron · Rating 5 out of 5]

NEW SINISTER SIX LOOKS ABSOLIUTE FIREEEEEE SO HYPED FOR THE ADAPTATION OF BLACK CAT

[Micah Glus · Rating 5 out of 5]

The introduction of the Sinister 6 was amazing.

[Ushnav Shroff · Rating 3 out of 5]

A pleasant enough filler episode.
