Rereading Ultimate Spider-Man for the first time in years. It was the first series I read month to month and became obsessed with. It's probably had more of an effect on my comic loving brain than anything else. The first comic I ever bought with my own money was Ultimate Spider-Man #8 and then I saved up the 15 bucks to buy the trade with 1-7. This reread has been a trip. On issue 9 now, the real introduction of the Kingpin. Been basically doing this on Twitter the last couple days.

Most of these issues are seared into my brain after reading them over and over as an 11 year old, but I've forgotten some little details like how much of the greater Ultimate universe they reference. In these first few issues we get shout outs to Captain America, mutants, Matt Murdock, and of course the Kingpin. I also forgot how many scenes are directly adapted from here into the first Raimi movie.

Man I love this series.

EDIT:
And thanks for starting this thread, OP! It's a good idea.
