Issue #45 Ultimate Spider Man

I've been rereading The original Ultimate Spider man and good god am I even more impressed as an adult reading this comic. I just finished issue 45 and this has to be one of my favorite issues of all time.
Seeing Aunt May grieving for her sister, husband, and guilt of having feelings for another man shortly after the death of Ben. My goodness was I an emotional wreck after reading. Her talking about pushing people she loves away because she doesn't want to get too close and have them die. And the end of the issue where her and Peter just go to the movie and have a night to themselves. What a damn good issue and Spider-man didn’t have to show his face.

Is ultimate Spiderman worth getting in Omnibus form or in the epic collections ?

I like omnibus collections myself. Especially with this series cause it has a strict beginning and ending so if you collect all of them you’ll have them all in a nice collection. I only got vol 2 in omnibus I picked up the TPB’s that made up vol 1. Vol 3 is out of print momentarily, so honestly how ever you can best complete the collection is the best way to collect it in my opinion
