From the first issue, Ultimate Spider-Man from Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto has been acclaimed by readers and critics. The story reinvents the Spider-Man mythos in the Ultimate Universe and presents a version of the titular hero that immediately connected with audiences. Soon the second arc will wrap up with a Christmas special!
In Ultimate Spider-Man #12, Peter Parker, Mary Jane, and the iconic couple's children will celebrate the Holidays in style. However, Peter won't have his full focus on the holidays,, but will be looking over his shoulder as he will be acting strangely for a yet-to-be-revealed reason. Additionally, Gwen Stacy will show concern over something that isn't necessarily related to Christmas — with Marvel teasing a thrilling conclusion for the second arc.
Ultimate Spider-Man #12 features main cover from Checchetto featuring Spider-Man as Santa, as he delivers presents across New York — while plushies of Kraven the Hunter and the Kingpin can be seen among them, hinting at the potential chaos coming. JaeHyung Lee's variant features MJ looking at a spider, with a virgin version of the cover being a 1:100 incentive variant. There will also be a Paco Medina winter holiday variant as well as a 1:25 incentive variant, which hasn't yet been revealed. Check out the text solicit for the issue and Checchetto's cover below!
