Superior Spider-Man, #1 Preview

Still skipping it. No art or dialogue will change my view that it is a dumb idea that could have easily been accomplished without removing Peter from the equation. Hopefully I can still read 'Scarlet Spider' before Norman Osborn assumes his identity.

Did he get an upgrade? Cause Shocker doesnt actually shock people.

Good question. Traditionally, the Shocker actually used vibration powers. A vibration blast, or vibrating punches, or vibrations to roll better with a punch or to wiggle out of a hold. Maybe he has electric powers now, or maybe the artist made a serious mistake.

Easy, tiger. His art only looks that good because you had to Brillo your eyes with Ramos' stuff.

Put down the drugs man! Stegman is the best Marvel artist right now......no if's,and's or but's about it! His artwork is fluid and dynamic at the same time and he draws one heck of a spider-man. So far him and Bagley are the best Spidey artists in my opinion.

Hah! Somehow that wouldn't be surprising...

I like that this is almost half a shocker appreciation thread. I always liked him, too, and I can't quite explain why.

No, Stegman rules. Let's hope he lasts more than six issues this time (cough Scarlet Spider).

I think he was only taken off Scarlet to be put on Fantastic Four. The main Spidey book is a pretty big gig, so they're unlikely to shove him somewhere else quite as quickly.

No problem! Yeah, that comic is definitely from the 80s (check out the mullets...lol). Web of Spider-Man was a series that started out with a lot of promise but it quickly became obvious that Web was the bottom tier Spidey title. This issue was actually pretty decent, though. Probably because it was a tribute to a more classic Spidey issue and era.

The interesting thing about that robot is that it was programmed to know that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. That's what that first story's main thrust was. And here we have the exact same thing again, with the robot meeting Spider-Man and he is going to say, "that's not Spider-Man". I wonder if Slott goes that way?

It's liable to say

"Not Spider-Man. Spider-Man dead. This Spider-Man is an impostor".

Nice preview. Stegman is great here.

In your opinion. Best since when, last month?

I never called him A-list. (I'm not sure if this was directed at me) In Spider-Man's rogues gallery I would call him B-list. The rest of the guys in this Sinister Six I would consider C or lower.

Boomerang was a key member of the recent pro-Marvel NOW Thunderbolts, I'd say that raised his stock up to Shocker level at least.

I like how Otto has convinced himself that he's Peter. I hope he develops a sense of humor... he'll need that in the Avengers books and teamups

I dunno, "I will crush him!" has been one of the funnier things I've seen Spider-Man say in a while.

You know. I didn't consider this at all. xD Neat idea!
