ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #40 (July, 2003)
By Brian Michael Bendis & Mark Bagley

APPEARANCES:
Spider-Man, Mary Jane, Gwen Stacy, Kong, Flash Thompson, Liz Allen, Geldoff (orphan from Latveria who can blow stuff up)

SYNOPSIS:
Spider-Man tries to get a new costume, but doesn’t have much luck. Peter and Mary Jane get into trouble during class for writing notes to each other. Flash wants to talk with Peter, but Peter thinks Flash wants to pull another prank on him and blows Flash off. Later, Gwen talks Peter into going to a party. At the party, someone named Geldoff is blowing up cars.

NOTE:
ULTSM 0.5 came out the same month as ULTXM 38-39. Spider-Man had no costume since ULTSM 34 (and still doesn’t), so ULTSM 0.5 happens between ULTSM 32-33.

ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #41 (July, 2003)
By Brian Michael Bendis & Mark Bagley

APPEARANCES:
Spider-Man, Gwen Stacy, Geldoff, Kong, Mary Jane, Liz Allen, Flash Thompson

SYNOPSIS:
Police arrive at the party and everyone runs away. Later, Peter and Mary Jane make up. Later, Flash tries to talk to Peter again, but Peter blows him off. News spreads that Geldoff is blowing stuff up again, so Mary Jane gives Peter half of a costume and he leaves to check out the ruckus.

NOTE:
Spider-Man says he lost his costume a couple of weeks ago, so it’s been a couple of weeks since ULTSM 34. The gap has to be between ULTSM 39-40, but it’s not like he can make any appearances as Spider-Man during that time.

ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #42 (August, 2003)
By Brian Michael Bendis & Mark Bagley

APPEARANCES:
Spider-Man, Geldoff, Marvel Girl, Shadowcat, Storm

SYNOPSIS:
Spider-Man finds Geldoff and the police arrive. Geldoff begs Spider-Man to take him away so he won’t get arrested. Geldoff explains he was blowing up cars at the party because he was drunk, and he was blowing up cars at this school just now because half his school’s football team got expelled because they were at a party where cars were getting blown up. Spider-Man puts the conversation on hold to stop a robbery, but Geldoff blows up some more cars and almost kills people. Spider-Man yells at him and Geldoff threatens to kill Spider-Man. Suddenly, the X-Men arrive.
