Kingpin vs Knights
Review date: 2008-12-21 Rating: 8 out of 10

This volume starts just after everything that happened in the clone wars. May is still in the hospital and has told Peter that once she gets out she will be having words with him about being Spiderman, which happens at the end of this set. Mary Jane is happy that she is back with Peter and the pair are happy but with the arrival of Kitty to their school things have suddenly become very difficult for the three of them.

Meanwhile, Daredevil has had enough with the Kingpin and gets a team together to take him out. He recruits Spiderman by meeting Peter at his school which gets things for the pair off to a bad start. As Moon Knight goes undercover to work for the Kingpin he is ordered to bring Spiderman to the Kingpin, however due to Moon Knight's multiple personalities things don't go as smooth as Daredevil had hoped.

Though most of this volume isn't important to the main plot line for the Ultimate Spiderman it is fun to read and very entertaining with some of the heroes turning to villians. The Ultimates are a different look at all the charaters and I think for some of the characters it is a great make over. Daredevil especially, he is a lot meaner and darker than the original.
