Story: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: Mark Bagley

Collecting issues 1 to 13 of Ultimate Spider-Man, this oversized hardback collection collects material previously available in the first two "Ultimate Spider-Man" trade paperbacks, "Power and Responsibility" and "Learning Curve," plus a few extras.

Bendis always compares his TPBs to Special Edition DVDs, loading them with material to entice someone who bought the monthly issues into buying the trades. Included in this volume is an article about the creation of the Ultimate line by Marvel president Bill Jemas, Jemas' detailed outline for the initial story arc (from before Bendis was brought onboard), pages of notes and character designs from Bagley, and a piece Bendis wrote about his involvement.

And just you can see how this Spider-Man compares to his 1963 counterpart, the book closes with a reprint of Amazing Fantasy #15, the very first appearance of Peter Parker and Spider-Man.
