Spider-Men written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrations by Sara Pichelli
Classic Spider-man villain Mysterio develops an interdimensional portal to dump his nemesis into another universe. His plan works well. He gets Peter Parker from the regular Marvel universe into the Ultimate universe. The Ultimate universe's Peter Parker has died and Miles Morales has risen as the new Spider-Man. Peter and Miles run into each other quickly, though Peter still thinks he's under some hypnotic trick by Mysterio. They have a fun initial fight and ongoing dialog. Miles takes Peter to S.H.I.E.L.D. where Nick Fury buys the alternate universe interpretation of the situation. Can they get Peter back to his own dimension?
The story is clearly the inspiration for Into the Spider-Verse and is a lot fun. The script is witty. Mysterio is a bit of a minor character but is used really well, as is Nick Fury. Usually, crossover stories like this don't work and feel like a cash-in. This one hits all the right notes.
Highly recommended.
