Marvel has some killer organizations that rarely get used or even mentioned in the larger Marvel Universe. There's A.I.M., V.I.P.E.R., and of course, S.H.I.E.L.D. (those are just the first 3 that come to mind - they have a ton of them). I always wondered why more writers didn't incorporate more of these organizations in their stories, given that they are supposed to be pretty large groups, but very few of them are ever mentioned or come into play, even indirectly. I've always dug S.H.I.E.L.D. for one reason: it begins with a N. and ends with a Fury. Nick Fury was the original Marvel badass, long before Wolvie or Cable or any of the other hard-nosed grunts they trotted-out in the '90s, but S.H.I.E.L.D. itself really didn't get a true face until Frank Miller's (and Bill Sienkiewicz') seminal Elektra: Assassin in 1986, where they were revealed to be a kind of superpowered C.I.A. But I've blathered long enough - this is an official Marvel press release:You’re falling behind in school thanks to the world’s #1 espionage organization. Your not-so-happy ex-girlfriend is now your not-so-happy super hero partner. Oh, and everything you love is threatened by the newly escaped Green Goblin! In Ultimate Spider-Man #115, from red-hot scribe Brian Bendis and acclaimed artist Stuart Immonen, Spider-Man awakens to find he’s an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D…but how? And why? Teamed with former flame Kitty Pryde (recently of the X-Men), it’s going to take everything he’s got to defeat the Green Goblin, who’s on his way to destroy Trump Towers! As an added bonus, this issue features a special unannounced Zombie variant cover illustrated by Immonen featuring Ultimate Spider-Man like you’ve never seen him before!
“Picking Stuart as our new penciller was one of the best decisions ever made in the history of mainstream comics,” gushed Bendis of his new creative collaborator. “Bravo Stuart!”
Jesse Schedeen of IGN.com praised the latest issue of USM, deeming it a “must read” and declaring, “I'm having more fun than I've had in years with USM, and I don't want it to stop.”
As the can’t miss “Death Of A Goblin” storyline continues, it’s up to S.H.I.E.L.D’s newest agent to take down the Green Goblin like only a spider can! Don’t miss Ultimate Spider-Man #115 and the special Ultimate Spider-Man #115 Zombie Variant, both in stores this October!
