Ultimate Spider-Man, Amazing Friends arc (#118-120)
I love the idea of this community! Thanks for existing!
Anyway, I'm not sure how many of you are reading USM, but I haven't done this much twirling and squeeing for a long time on this book. And if your turn-on is identity-porn... (*raises hand*) well, this is the arc for you.
And OMG, I'm sorry how image-heavy this is! SO much happened! I tried to keep the image sizes down, though.
#118
It begins with angst from most of our major players...
Peter over the death of Harry at his father's hand:
Kenny (one of Flash Thompson's old minions, who is now hanging out with Peter more), over his crush on Kitty Pryde and keeping Peter's secret all this time:
Liz over how sick she's been feeling:
Johnny Storm over how his celebrity status makes his love life suck:
Kitty Pryde over always being on display at Midtown High (she left Xavier's a couple arcs ago):
So Johnny decides to visit Midtown to visit Peter, MJ and Liz (ignoring the fact that Liz is deeply mutant-phobic)... Peter isn't amused.
How about we make this get together even MORE conspicuous?
Oh, wait, it gets better. Let's add Bobby Drake!
Okay, so now that Peter and MJ are surrounded by people with publicly-known superpowers, let's have a day at the beach! (I just love how the boys are totally immersed in guy talk while the girls frolic in the water. But I'm quite concerned with the cell phone conversation Kenny seems to be having. :O )
But Liz gets a little too close to the flames...
Cue me (who had not been reading spoilers for this book): OMG! Liz Allen is Firestar!

Liz freaks out - first Johnny tries to save her, then Bobby...
(I love Johnny here...)
But Liz is too freaked out by the possibility of being a possible mutant. So she takes off again. And for my favorite moment of the whole arc, something I've been waiting for since nearly the beginning...
YES!
After a moment to digest this, Peter takes off running through the sand. And then:
While Peter and Bobby are trying to calm Liz down, you can already see some hints to the "Amazing Friends" possible future camaraderie:
On to #120
But then Magneto shows up with some shocking news:
Liz escapes, confronts her mother, and then the cavalry arrives:
But Liz is deeply mistrustful of everyone, having been lied to for so long... so she goes to the one person she thinks she can trust.
And then my second-favorite moment!
Liz finally lets Bobby take her to Xavier's to train. And you'd think it would end there, but instead we get this delicious end tag... Blob!
Cue all of us just as curious as Erik about how that was even possible... :D
END! (Sorry so long! I was just so full of squee! Hope all the tags worked.)
