Slott's "Superior Spider-Man" Revealed

[oldforce]

Don't like it? Buy it when someone else writes it.

Well, that's my plan.

[bjtrdff]

I agree with this.

Once he's done with his arc, we'll see where it all leads.down that eventually the original personality/mind will overwrite the foreign (Otto) mind in his head. Till then, this makes for different stories.

Considering Slott keeps talking about people 'getting it' and him coming out of hiding at the end of SSM #1, I'm betting that at the end of the issue we're already going to see this starting to take place....maybe even getting a double mind Spidey.

I agree with this.

The kneejerkers who are coming in and complaining are those who read a comic regardless of the writer. It could be someone very good writing it or someone terrible writing it, and those fan boys will pick it up and read it regardless. I put my $ into the specific artist (read: writer) who wrote the book I'm reading. Slott is telling a very specific story here and he's still writing it. Once he's done with his arc, we'll see where it all leads.

And keep in mind, this is just Otto's brain pattern superimposed/injected into Parker's head. Parker's memory is still in there and I'll put some $ down that eventually the original personality/mind will overwrite the foreign (Otto) mind in his head. Till then, this makes for different stories.

This!!

Why I see this sticking for a while, but it also created that thread to bring PP back down the road. There's still SSM so I'm sure not all is what it seems

Dan feels its fantastic and it'll most likely stick

I'm pretty sure Bendis proved you can kill a hero and still have a great book with Ultimate Spider-Man. I wrote a full length review (with pictures) here if anyone is interested.

I thought this issue was good but a little stilted with Peter's ability to be okay with dying and Ock's switch from "I won AHAHA!" to "I must be a hero!" Aside from that a good issue.

And remember folks, Batman, Superman etc...they all have died. Peter Parker will be back!

[Spider-Fly]

Sure...until the next Amazing Spider-man movie. That's just too big of a deal not to cash in on, so at that point Peter will return.

Don't be so sure.

Wacker did say this..."Peter Parker fans will fade away".

And you know something...he's right.

The only way for him not to be right is for the following to happen...


1) Everyone that has previously bought and read Amazing Spider-Man MUST NOT BUY AND READ Superior Spider-Man.


2) New readers can't buy and read it either because they can easily replace all of the above who don't.


Marvel stuck to their guns when people left the book after OMD and those people who haven't returned have been replaced with new readers. The same exact thing can happen in this situation as well.

If Marvel wants Doc Ock to remain as Spider-Man in Peter's body it's going to be that way because Peter Parker fans will fade away and be replaced by new readers, and until that happens there are going to be readers that won't leave the book despite this (some likely doing so with the hope of Peter's return) and that will keep Peter from coming back if that's truly what Marvel wants to do.

The only sure way to guarantee Peter's return as soon as possible is for NO ONE to buy Superior Spider-Man...it's as simple as that, but that isn't going to happen.

And that means Peter Parker as Spider-Man has likely come to it's end.

[charlesthehammer]

There are several leaps in that. Comic books fans do not let things go easy, Peter Parker fans will not fade away anytime soon.

Doctor Peterpuss, I presume.... Um, this could be a great story, but alas the artwork is just horrible. I'm sure Ramos is a great guy, but I cannot stand to read a comic with his artwork. Just my opinion, but that's what decides what I'll buy, and what I'll pass on. ASM 700, $7.99, with Ramos' artwork? Big pass. I'll pick it up one day in the cheapy bin, with variant cover number 46, 3rd printing...blah blah blah, just to keep my Spidey collectable room happy.
I miss the good old days, but I'm still a Spidey-aholic, just don't buy new comics anymore (actually haven't since they went over $2 a pop) Just easier to buy them off ebay in cheap lots, or at trade shows, for really cheap.
Maybe one day Marvel will hire some artists that can draw basic anatomy, and make Peter and the rest of the great cast, actually look like themselves...thru the entire issue! Then realistically price comics, to where kids and us poor folks can enjoy them again.

Keep On Thwipin'!!!

You know whats real stupid? Wacker approving this stupid idea. One of he dumbest ideas in comic history.

Lets make spidey a 40 year old man with a name from the 1960's! Kids will line up to read this i tell you!

Basically destroying the Amazing Spiderman, this should have been an arc and not how the book should end. Monumentally dumb.
On the same level as lucas destroying Star wars with jar jar and senate proceeddings, lmao. This is your legacy wacker! The destroyer of an entire fan culture

One problem though is Peter Parker is spider-man in the movie. People are going to want to see him in the comic too. And new fans will be confused by the Ock change. Unless of course...Ock somehow forgets he was ever Doc Ock. I bet he'll have some very confused thinking in the future. HOw can he not have an identity crisis.

[Hypestyle]

what's the explanation for the separated-big-toe on the boots, and the claws?

I thought he was more like in his 70's? He did date Aunt May for a time...ugh how gross is it he's trying to bang MJ! Yuck.

[DownInAHole]

Hmm, Marvel "cancelled" Uncanny X-men and "replaced" it with All-New X-Men but then Uncanny X-Men came back. I think that something similar may happen with Spider-Man. Octavius will appear in Superior while Parker will be back in a relaunched Amazing.

[SatanBigsby]

Is Peter Parker dead then?

[David Walton]

I thought this issue was good but a little stilted with Peter's ability to be okay with dying and Ock's switch from "I won AHAHA!" to "I must be a hero!" Aside from that a good issue.

Peter was VERY chill about dying. I guess Slott kinda set that up with his visit to Heaven when he flatlined in the hideout. And he's in a tired dying man's body, which does make one feel a little differently.

The concept was cool, although it felt a little...off for a big finale. The "I must be the Superior Spider-Man!" thing kinda felt a tad anticlimatic, though I don't know what I was expecting. Maybe Peter walking into Heaven with Uncle Ben?
