Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends

Remember the old Saturday morning cartoon with Spidey, Iceman, and Firestar? Here it is! This is an official Marvel press release:

Spider-Man is the quintessential lone hero, but when he finds himself in a situation where he's way out his league, Spidey's going to need a little help from his friends…his amazing friends, that is!

That's right, Iceman from the world-famous mutant team X-Men and the Ultimate version of Firestar (making her debut in this story) lend Spider-Man a helping hand in Ultimate Spider-Man #118. But is Firestar a new character -- or a face that we've seen before in the Ultimate Universe?

But those aren't Peter's only superhero friends, as Johnny Storm, the hot-headed young member of the Fantastic Four, pays Spidey a visit – and ends up pursuing Mary Jane's friend Liz Allen!

The highly-acclaimed dream team of Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen kick off the first part of a new Ultimate Spider-Man story in issue #118, entitled (what else?) "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends."
