Ultimate Spider-Man Volume 8 Cats and Kings

Cats and Kings has one of my favourite covers of the volumes. It just evokes the feeling that he's had enough of these people.

In this volume Peter asks the questions that no one wants to hear. There's a bit less teenage moping and more moping about the fact that the Kingpin can do what he wants because he has money and power. It's a tough pill for Spider-Man to swallow because he thinks it should be more black and white than it actually is. Throw in a little subplot about female temptation in the form of the Black Cat and it's another outing of Spider-Man wondering why it seems like the whole city is against him.

There's some nice story telling and some nice visuals but the whole is just OK so it gets a 3.
