Ultimate Spider-Man Epic Collection: Hunted

The epic rematch between the young Spider-Man and his archnemesis, the Green Goblin! Peter Parker has a secret. Bitten by a radioactive spider, he gained the powers of a human arachnid: super-strength, adhesion to walls and incredible agility. Inspired by his uncle’s tragic death, Peter became Spider-Man, New York City’s hometown super hero. Only two people know his double identity: One is his best friend, confidante and girlfriend Mary Jane Watson. The other is ruthless businessman Norman Osborn, otherwise known as the Green Goblin! In their first battle, Norman nearly killed Peter before his own apparent death. But now the Goblin has returned, more powerful than ever before. And Osborn will use his knowledge of Peter’s double identity to control the teenager -- threatening the lives of Mary Jane and his beloved Aunt May if Peter refuses to obey! Also featuring the dramatic re-introductions of two classic foes: Doctor Octopus and Kraven the Hunter! COLLECTING: Ultimate Spider-Man (2000) #14-27

Award-winning comic-book creator Brian Michael Bendis is one of the most successful writers in the industry today. In addition to an acclaimed run on Daredevil, he has helmed a renaissance for Marvel’s popular Avengers franchise and written the event projects House of M, Secret War, Secret Invasion, Siege, Age of Ultron and Civil War II. Bendis wrote every issue of Ultimate Spider-Man from its launch in 2000 before bringing his multiracial Spider-Man, Miles Morales, to the Marvel Universe for continuing adventures. He took on Marvel’s mutants in the pages of All-New X-Men and Uncanny X-Men, and launched Guardians of the Galaxy into the stratosphere. Bendis shook up the life of Tony Stark in Invincible Iron Man and related titles, introducing Riri Williams as Ironheart, and then assembled street-level heroes Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Daredevil and his co-creation Jessica Jones in Defenders. His creator-owned projects include Scarlet with Alex Maleev, Brilliant with Mark Bagley, and Takio and the Eisner Award-winning Powers with Michael Avon Oeming.

Hired on the strength of his Official Marvel Tryout penciling submission, Mark Bagley rose to prominence as the artist of 1990s sleeper hit New Warriors. Following an acclaimed run on Amazing Spider-Man, he worked with writer Kurt Busiek on Thunderbolts. When Marvel launched its Ultimate line, Bagley and Brian Michael Bendis led the way with Ultimate Spider-Man, whose years of success made the pair the longest-running creative team in Marvel history. Bendis and Bagley have also collaborated on Avengers Assemble and the creator-owned Brilliant. His subsequent credits include Fantastic Four, Cataclysm: The Ultimates’ Last Stand, Hulk, All-New X-Men and Venom.
