One-sentence summary: More Silver Surfer goodness as the Ultimate version is revealed to serve an entirely different master with some morally mixed-up motives (heh, alliteration).
Not too bad an issue. I'm off and on on Ultimate Fantastic Four, and I like that the Ultimate Silver Surfer seems to have a very different backstory from the 616-universe. However, the actual story was just meh, and, honestly, despite how much plot happened, no one did anything that interesting. It was sort of interesting to see the FF get the crap beaten out of them by the Surfer, but that was about it. I do want to see where this story goes, but the ending was, well, a bit sudden, really. I wish they had let a bit more suspense build before this issue ended.
All in all, not too bad. Not the best the series has produced, but at least the villain is more interesting than Ultimate Alchemist (though I'll admit that actually turned out to be a bit of an interesting storyline).

Ultimate Spider-Man #111
One-sentence summary: A cool departure from the normal format, we have Peter explaining everything to Aunt May one one-half the page while his day goes by on the other half of the page without dialogue, and the whole issue is generally well-done and a good wrap-up of this mega-saga.
Ultimate Spider-Man again doesn't disappoint, giving us a very different issue that succeeds on all levels as a touching moment between Peter and the aunt that raised him explaining the who and why he is, as well as why he will continue to be who he is. This is the last issue for Mark Bagley, who's done a great job, but Stuart Immonen will do a good job too. Bendis continues to do a great job on this title, and this issue's no exception.
This was a pretty good issue of Ultimate Spider-Man. I loved the format, just due to it being novel. The issue served well to segue to the next portion of Ultimate Spider-Man without being too tied to what has already occurred; a new reader wouldn't be too lost in this. This was a good issue of a good comic.
