Ultimate! #2 - Uncle Ben's Ponytail

This episode we cover the very beginnings of Ultimate Marvel with Ultimate Spider-Man #1-7 written by Brian Michael Bendis and inks by Mark Bagley

We talk about reinventions of the Spider-Man origin story, comparisons to Sam Raimi's first Spider-Man film, and, the most important addition to a classic character, Uncle Ben's ponytail!

Summary starts 0:19:58- 0:33:12

Note from Eddie- At the time of recording, we were still playing around with how we summarised the issues we covered in each episode. In this episode, I recorded and edited the summary at home. From Episode 3 onwards our issue summaries we integrate our issue summaries into our discussions during the show.
