Then, a movie studio is making a summer blockbuster about Spider-Man, and the Ultimate wall-crawler swings by the set to give the producers a piece of his mind. But someone else is even hotter about being in the film than Spidey: Dr. Octopus, who may just shut down the production if he doesn’t get final edit! As the cameras roll, Spider-Man and Doc Ock go head-to-head behind the scenes! Collecting ULTIMATE SIX #1-7, and ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #46 and #54-59.

Meanwhile, the Brood return, the Age of Apocalypse’s Dark Beast targets his Marvel Universe doppelganger, Wolverine succumbs to his animal side — literally — and the X-Men race to save a trainful of commuters from Mr. Sinister’s explosive experiments!
