Superior or Avenging??

[oldschool]

Looks like Marvel (and Spidey fans) have what's called a "happy problem"----if you can even call it a problem, that is! Looks like both Superior Spider-Man #1 and Avenging Spider-Man #16 have garnered largely positive reviews but Slott and Yost are writing SpOck just a wee bit differently. Soooooooo........what do you guys think? Do you prefer SpOck's portrayal in SSM or AVSM?? Speak now or forever hold your peace (or at least wait until SSM #2 and AVSM #17)!

This is tough. I probably prefer the way Yost wrote him, but I prefer the Superior book over Avenging because I don't care for team-ups and Superior is where 'stuff happens.'

Both books have great writers and great artists, I don't think there has been a talent match up like this since Jenkins, JMS, Dedato and Ramos were on the books.

I might hold off on my vote until #2 of each is out.

Hard to say at this stage. I'm really liking SpOck in Avenging, but wasn't a fan of him in Superior #1. Having said that, I enjoyed the preview pages from #2 so I may ending up liking both books. More often than not, first issues are notorious for setting up a new status quo, unfortunately taking away a lot of the main action.

Avenging, easily.
Nothing against Stegman, but his inking is not that good, meanwhile Avenging's line-up is sensational. Plus I enjoy Yost's writing more.

If you can afford both honestly go for both! If its a case of limiting to one I'd certainly say avenging. Superior double-ships and I assume finances is your reasoning, but SS Is the better title.

I wish that Yost would do a Spider-Man x Black Widow team-up adventure.

Haven't read AVSM 16 yet...but I'll admit I'm somewhat confused about what we're supposed to take away from Ock's conversion experience. I come away from ASM700 and SSM1 with an entirely different perspective. That's not necessarily a bad thing, mind you!

As far as Yost goes, I think he's the best mainstream superhero comics writer working for Marvel. He's got the Midas touch.

[E. Wilson]

Well, considering we've only had one issue of each, I'd be hard pressed to choose one right off the bat. As a rule, I enjoy both Slott and Yost's work; on the one hand, Slott has a lot more Spidey under his belt than Yost. On the other hand, this also means that Slott's produced more Spidey work I was indifferent to, simply as a function of numbers. But if we take the position that Spock is a "new" character and only stories with him should be considered for the posed question...well, heck, I can't choose. There's only been one issue of each title out.

Both! I can't pick between the two, they both are awesome

The real answer is a third option, Scarlet Spider.

Sorta how I feel. SSM is the flagship Spidey book (for now) but I think Yost is awesome on both Scarlet and Avenging. But with Scarlet not following the adventures of SpOck, I didn't include it here. Safe to say that all 3 titles are in my Top 10 and 2 of them in my Top 5!

While this is really hard to actually make an factual determination on with only 3 total issues, and 1 issue 2 preview, between the two books...I'm gonna go w/ Avenging. Both issues were winners, and more in line w/ what the end of 700 proposed as the future.

Yost's take was unbelievably better then Slott's. He seems like a much stronger writer when it comes to characterization, dialog, and pacing, and basically everything.

[Nefarius]

Υost writes Spock a little better but i have a guilty joy seeing Spock in Superior acting like a mad scientist.Storywise,Yost's writing makes better sense,but for pure fun,Slott is better.
