Dr. Octopus is out for revenge and Kraven the Hunter is out to bag the ultimate prey. Can Spider-Man survive double trouble?

Ultimate Spider-Man volume 3 or Double Trouble is by far the best one, in my opinion that I have read. I love Doctor Octopus, or just Doc Oct for short. The story is very simple, after an explosion at OsCorp Industries (THIS HAPPENED IN VOLUME 1) Doctor Oct wakes up a couple months later with four mechanical arms fused onto his body. He goes on a murderous rampage and who else to stop him but SPIDER-MAN! Trouble is that Peter a.k.a. Spider-Man knows that the Doctor knows he's Spider-Man, but his memory is all fuzzed up and not only is the Doc on a murder rampage, but Kraven the famous hunter is now going to hunt Spider-Man down and kill him. I absolutely love this title and it is chalk full of amazing artwork and story-telling. This is the one volume the Ultimate Spider-Man series has been waiting for.

Double Trouble Doctor Octopus has long been one of Spider-Man's greatest villains, and this volume sees his entrance into the Ultimates world. Horribly disfigured after his accident in Osborn lab's in volume one, Otto Octavius insane and out for blood. Add into the mix, Kraven, who fancies himself the world's ultimate hunter, and his new prey is Spider-Man. Once again, Bendis bring his best game when scripting this book. The writing is wonderful, the characters very real and very human. His take on Gwen Stacy is very unlike mainstream Gwen Stacy but the result is a very likable character. His approach to Mary Jane and Peter's relationship is also very teenage and appealing. Bagley and Thibert's pencils are nice, and appropriate to the book, though the character's are a little wide eyed at times, and their take on Doc Ock's body didn't mesh with my personal image of the character. This is the perfect Ultimate Spider-Man graphic to buy for someone who has seen Spider-Man 2 and wants to read a comic with Doc Ock in it. This book is also appropriate for all ages and for comic collectors and newcomers alike. This volume reprints Ultimate Spider-Man #14-21. Highest recommendations!
