I'm sure there will be lots of crushing. With great power comes great CRUSHING.

I'm stoked! Avenging has been kind of scattershot up till now but I think having Yost as the regular writer, coupled with the new Superior direction, will give this title a much needed focus. And I love the idea that Spidey now has basically two secret identities to protect. Even for those people who knows he's Peter Parker, he still has to worry about them finding out his real identity. I don't think that's ever been done in superhero comics - at least in any long term way.

I wonder what they are going to do with the Joe Mad stuff that's being produced.

On the plus side, the market may be ready for more OGN material.

The more I read about it the more I hyped I am for Superior Spiderman and the New Avenging Spiderman! I can't wait for this thing to start already.

Sleepwalker? Wow. I may have to pick up that issue(s).

**Monty_Cristo** · 01-03-2013, 03:09 PM

so Ock knows that Peter made a deal with Mephisto? this won't end well.

**Wellman** · 01-03-2013, 03:11 PM

Love Yost, but I don't know about picking this up long term. I will see how my finances are and month to month pick it up like I do Captain Marvel.

Sleepwalker's coming back? i may have to stick with this book indefinitely.

**oldschool** · 01-03-2013, 03:31 PM

Anyone who is down on SpOck should read Yost's interview here; the dude really gets it and he touches on why I think the whole idea of Superior Spidey has got some serious legs.....

Sleepwalker? I'll take 2 please.

In February's "Avenging Spider-Man" #17, the Superior Spider-Man teams with the Future Foundation. What can you tell us about the plot and themes of this issue? Will Otto only interact with the kids and Dragon Man, or will readers see original and/or current substitute Fantastic Fours as well?

Spider-Man is summoned to the Baxter Building by the replacement FF -- they've got to go deal with something, and Spider-Man assumes they want him to lead the mission. But in fact, they've called him in for babysitting duty.

But Spider-Man has his own agenda as he enters the Baxter Building -- as a former evil scientist, what treasures does the home of Reed Richards hold? Hint: It's something that Peter Parker brought there. But of course, everything goes south when beings from the future attack the FF, trying to wipe them from the time stream.

Oh crap, She-Hulk is chummy with Spider-Man, so I wonder how they're gonna interact this time? And can anyone guess what Peter left behind in the BB?
