Original 'Ultimate Spider-Man' scripts and commentary by Brian Michael Bendis offer a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process.

Fresh from his stint as artist on the Clerks comic books, Jim Mahfood debuts his own creation -- the Grrl Scouts. Cute, independent, and full of attitude, Gwen, Daphne, and Rita are three girls trying to do what they can to survive in Freak City. From expressing themselves through graffiti or cutting lose on the dance floor, the party is raging -- that is, until the Brotherhood of the Cracker catches wind of the good time and decides to crack down. The Brotherhood is an evil alliance that controls the world's power structure from behind the scenes, and they don't like the Grrls' subversive nature. Before they know it, the Grrls are being hunted by assassins and are on the run for their lives. Mahfood's fresh, hiphop style combines the rhythm of today's youth culture with hyper-real satire for a truly unique comics experience. Contains mature subject matter and adult language.

A follow-up to the best-selling Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, Volume 1 continues the cooperative adventures of the wise-cracking Spider-Man and characters from the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Dr. Strange series. Original.
