Ultimate Avengers vs. New Ultimates Hardcover: Death of Spider-man

For those of you who know Mark Millar, this is just him being him. For those of you who don't, this is a super-heroes story with a spy flick twist in the middle. The book takes place in Marvel's Ultimate Universe and follows the comings and goings of a set of Counter intelligence organization-sponsored super powered people, after some disaster has scattered them in the middle east. This is mostly a predictable device from the writer to distract from the real story, which is simply a childish power play between the bosses. Millar writes lightly and everyone seems card-board Paris Hilton-y in their reactions. Easy and fast to read, fun and with many in-jokes for people who have been following previous book. However, sufficiently well written for these in-jokes to go unnoticed by the uninitiated.
Leinil Yu and Steve Segovia do a good job with the art and the book looks nice.
