THE BEST BOOK CLUB IN THE MULTIVERSE!

Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto’s new vision for Peter Parker and his amazing friends begins here, as the Book Club Bois discuss ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1!

Twenty years ago, a fifteen year old Peter Parker was SUPPOSED to be bitten by a radioactive spider, turning him into the Amazing Spider-Man… but The Maker prevented that from ever happening. Now, Peter leads a normal life – married to Mary-Jane Watson with two beautiful children. He holds a steady job and is watched over by his Uncle Ben. So why does everything feel… wrong? Peter has spent the last two decades feeling like something was missing in his life, and when he is contacted by the fugitive Tony Stark he finds out exactly what that is. Now armed with this newfound knowledge, will Peter Parker return to his ordinary life… or take the leap to become something more?
