115. Ultimate Spider-Man vol 1 #91 to 94 ... Marvel ...

O yes ... for those wondering about the vol 1 ... if you are reading current Ult S-M, there's a new chap under the mask ... and no, it is not a temporary change because this is the Ult U, not Marvel U. So the new chap is a politically diversified character i.e. non-white ... you know what? For me, I am not Caucasian and am from Asia ... and I never have problems with "white" characters ... I like Peter Parker as Spider-Man! Peter with his growing up pains; his hopes and fears; his never-do-well lifestyle ...

Anyway, let's focus on this story arc. As you can see, the title is Deadpool and here we see a revamped version of the Ult-verse Deadpool. However, while the costume is largely the same, the character is not. This Deadpool is nasty - he isn't the Merc w a Mouth who talks non-stop, makes crazy quip and is generally crazy. This one is crazy but crazy to kill everyone who is a mutant. Sigh!

And for other new intros, we have Ult-verse Reavers (all those half human half robots you see on the covers) and Ult-verse Mojo (just a fat crazy chap) ... double Sigh!

As for the story itself, at this stage, Peter has just dumped MJ because he felt the craziness in his life will spill over and endanger her just like it killed Gwen. So here dear Peter bumped into Kitty of the X-Men and they decided to hang out ... and in time become a couple ... note that Iceman is Kitty's ex while Colossus has a crush on her but she chose Spidey ... a bit of relationship goody there for readers ... and as per first issue of this arc, Kitty proves that she has given the relationship much thought ... she realized if she dates Spidey as X-Men Kitty ... and then dates Peter in real life, Peter's secret identity might be compromised ... because for her, she has no secret identity ... hence the new costume for when she is with Spidey and Spidey only

Anyway, as luck would have it, on the crazy country where Mojo is (not dimension or universe anymore), they hate mutants and want to persecute them. This is apparently the X-chaps made an incursion into that country but hey like me ... if you don't read Ult X, it's cool you don't need the backstory

All you need to know is they come shopping and kidnapping X-Men and in a moment of panic, Kitty managed to drag an unknowing Peter into the mix and BANG you have it ... instant crossover goodness!

Best part of this arc? Tons of drama between Kitty and Peter and tons of action once the heroes land in crazy Deadpool land ... and the ending! Woof! Drama when the heroes win! It's a bit too ugly in bits about racism but ... well ... it's comics, right?
