Article Summary

Today sees the publication of Ultimate Spider-Man #2, with a middle-aged Peter Parker and new Spider-Man learning that with great power might come great responsibility, but also might not. And he probably needs to work on his Spider-sense as it appears to be missing. We also get to see how the new French Captain Britain (I blame the Normans) who has been granted power over the Americas, delegates that down to the likes of the Kingpin… who has just bought the Daily Bugle. So there is a lot of power and play, but very little of it responsible.
Which is where J Jonah Jameson and Ben Parker, having quit the Daily Bugle, come in. Planning their own little revolution, outside of the sight lines of the people in power.
As Kingpin is being targeted by the Green Goblin, but managing to cover it up. To everyone, except Uncle Ben and his New York Irregulars.
And they are about to recruit a major power of their own, if they but knew it.
How responsible will be be? And is he going to turn that dishcloth/tea towel into a new costume at any point?
