Ultimate Spider-Man #23

There are a few more Spider-Men since the last time I checked in with Ultimate Spider-Man. Peter Parker is still our main Spidey, who attacks the Kingpin and Mister Negative, while thw workings of Otto Octavius (our second "Superior" Spider-Man) broadcast Ben Parker and J. Jonah Jameson's truth about the Kingpin to the city.

Like his dad, our third Spider-Man (Peter's son Richard) has gotten in over his head breaking in to Fisk's HQ with the help of Felicia Hardy to install another of Otto's inventions. Almost an afterthought are the Green Goblin and Mysterio walking straight into a meeting with a member of the Maker's Council (for unknown reasons while also ignoring Peter's pleas for help). There's a lot happening here, maybe a little too much, but both the Peter and Richard storylines give us different aspects of the classic Spider-Man in the same issue as both look like they have bitten off more than they can chew.
