The Superior Spider-Man Thread

Flicked through the latest Superior while I was in the Big Bang the other day, is the Ock/Symbiote story any good? Plus hoe did it happen?

Despite not getting the comic last few months I have started coming accustom to Ock as Spidey. We all knew Peter would be coming back to Spidey role but would of liked to see ock in a longer run, only a year as Superior and he made a good lot of improvments

I seen the new Amazing Spider man 1 advertised recently. Haven't read a comic in a while, would people recommend this as a good jumping on point?

Not keeping up to date on the other characters, but since they were in the last couple of issues could someone please explain

why Wolverine lost his healing powers and why Iron Man is now black and gold?

the black and gold armour is one he uses as an earth bound representation of himself whilst he's with the Guardians of the Galaxy in space. Underneath the mask is a screen

So think we're nearing the end of this now. Will actually be strange when it ends. I was surprised I enjoyed it so much and now the Goblin arc is really picking up.

L.S.F · 21-03-2014 10:50pm

what number are we on at the moment? Want to catch the last few issues of this before the change

Nervous Wreck · 21-03-2014 11:46pm

Number 30 is out this wednesday coming.

Varik · 22-03-2014 12:03am

I liked it at the start but it was getting a bit boring before the Goblin stuff started to kick off.

Yeah, I skipped issues 15-26. It got fairly boring but Goblin Nation is a good arc. Superior Spider-Man was definitely a brave and original idea but I think Slott is kinda overrated as a writer.

Just finished 30. A bit anti-climactic, I thought, but I'm enjoying the arc overall, but compared to the start of it, it definitely lost some of its impact as time went on.

CastorTroy · 27-03-2014 1:20am

Yeah, it did feel a bit like they were told to wrap it up

chrislad · 27-03-2014 3:00pm

Well, the movie is out shortly!

Nervous Wreck · 29-03-2014 2:50pm

That was.... really abrupt.

CastorTroy · 18-04-2014 10:56pm

And so ends Superior Spider-Man. Decent ending.

Just hope Amazing deals with the fallout instead of just moving on.

Nervous Wreck · 18-04-2014 11:37pm

Decent ending yeah. Not amazing but it worked. It already feels like Spidey again, which is great. I was getting very tired of Otto. Looking forward to ASM!

Jayd0g · 19-04-2014 10:45am

A lot of people seemed to just accept the reasons for his odd behaviour and moved on pretty quickly.

I agree with Castor Troy, I hope he has deal with the fallout!

I thought it was a bit of a rush job, truth be told. It wasn't terrible, but as I said earlier, the series started very strong, but it ended up fizzling out, and perhaps should have finished about 5 issues earlier. Hopefully,

Norman and his kin

will feature a bit more prominently, and I'd like to see the link to 2099 staying around a bit, and I'm saying that as someone who doesn't particularly care for the 2099 series.

brianregan09 · 28-04-2014 8:37pm

Well I just finished the whole run , I think the whole Venom thing was brushed under the carpet too easily by the Avengers they should have taken him to school for the way he reacted

CastorTroy · 30-04-2014 11:30pm

Well they're dealing with the fallout anyway.

And that ending left me wanting more.

Interesting backup stories as well.

So are we back to monthly releases?

Looking forward to reading this when I have the chance.

I think it's coming out twice a month.

L.S.F · 28-12-2018 3:06pm

Is Superior back again? Just saw a cover that was like one of the previous issues and said Superior #1. Reeboot or a continuation of ASM?

Haven't been up to date since the original Superior run bar the Secret Wars saga

CastorTroy · 28-12-2018 5:29pm

It's Otto again as the Superior Spider-Man. New younger body and post Spidergeddon events.
So it's its own thing with no Peter involved.

Can see a bit of a summary up to a point here
