The story of this episode revolves around the appearance of a new Spidey in town. The black suited spider-man (who looks like Symbiote spider-man from the comics) is  doing the hero job, cleaning the city from villains and  been adored for it by the citizens of New York. In fact even J.Jonah Jameson, who hates spider-man, loved the new balck suited hero, and not even once, wondered if that is actually spider-man in a black suit, even though they have the same physical build.

Spidey, who seem to have a cold, is trying to find out who this new guy is, only to be surprised when his best friend, Harry Osborn, reveals to Parker that he is the new black suited spider-man, who seems to be in control of the symbiote. But of course he was mistaken, as soon enough the black goo takes over Harry and transforms him into Venom.

Ultimate Spider-man is by far one of the most controversial shows of the last decade, many people are hating for what it is, going as far as posting their criticism on Jeph Loeb’s Facebook page as we reported couple of days ago (click here to read the full story). The 7th episode of the show aired yesterday. Titled “exclusive” the episode features the incredible hulk and the web head teaming up against ZzzaXx, a being of pure energy from the Hulk’s rogue gallery. So how did this episode fair? Keep reading to find out.

The story of the episode revolves around Hulk coming to town and smashing midtown New York. While first trying to stop the green goliath, Spider-man, who was in town been interviewed by Mary Jane, discovers that Hulk was in fact fighting Zzzaxx, and not just destroying the city. After some fun, amusing, moments between the two Marvel heroes, the two agreed to team up against the energy monster. After our heroes won( and spidey convinces S.H.I.E.L.D that Hulk was a hero not a villain) the episode ends with, what might be a controversial plot point, making Mary Jane land a freelance job with the Daily Bugle.

Aired last sunday, the 6th episode of Ultimate Spider-man, titled “Why i hate the Gym”, pits the webhead against one of marvel universes’ most notorious assassin: The Taskmaster. So how did this latest episode fared? Keep reading to find out.

The Story of this episode revolves around  Doc Ock hiring Taskmaster to identify and capture Spider-man. Knowing that the webhead goes to midtown high, Taskmaster disguised himself as the new Gym teacher, while trying to analyze the student movements in order to discover Spider-man secret identity.

The story was written by “Man of Action”, the studio behind the famous animated shows “Ben 10″, “generation rex” and other. And while this series has so far showed an incompetence in presenting a coherent, well written episode, i would say “why i hate the gym” is simple enough to work as a coherent, yet very simple, plot. Taskmaster, who is having his first, ever, animated debut, is well written, and unlike Spider-man, his personality is spot on.
