Re: The Superior Spider-Man (Slott/Stegman/Delgado)

So I've been wondering... Who do you think will be involved in the story where Peter and Otto switch back? My Guess...

Mary Jane Watson
Carlie Cooper
Kaine (Mostly cause Julia Carpenter sent Kaine a letter to him just before Peter and Otto switched. And The Hotel that Kaine is staying at doesn't have a Kaine Parker registered there. So it got put behind the counter.)
Maybe one of the Avengers or X-Men

Wolverine, duh.

Oh, wait, this isn't written by Bendis. I got nothing for you, then.

Re: The Superior Spider-Man (Slott/Stegman/Delgado)

I found it hilarious that in issue 1, Doctor Octopus is happy to be Peter Parker. It is hilarious because isn't the whole point of Spidey that being Peter Parker sucks. So when Doc Ock is all, "I have an uber-hot girlfriend, a great job, and everything is sweet" before he's done anything it kinda guts Peter's "Parker Luck" schtick, right? Maybe that's part of why Spidey's been so boring of late the creative team decided to get rid of Peter Parker; they couldn't come up with any interesting tales for Peter Parker when his life is so wonderfully perfect. This is like ONE MORE DAY, where they went, "Welp, Spidey being married makes him too boring, to the devil with ye to have a magical abortion!"

And so we have supervillain in Spidey's body as Spidey's ghost narrates Uncle Ben-isms.

Yeah, a fairly common theory is that this is being used as a reset button on Peters "good life" and that Doc is going to do nothing but **** it up for Peter until the switch back, then we'll get Peter in a sucky life again.

The Superior Spider-Man (Slott/Stegman/Delgado)

Issue #5 is out now. It was a mind**** to see Parker with his finger on a trigger. Liked the ending And the Cola logo play on Marvel's old logo.

 

[amazing spiderman]

Can I get it on ibooks

I don't think Marvel sells individual issues on iBooks. DC does, but as far as I know Marvel only sells collected editions, and this book hasn't been collected yet.

Superior spiderman

There has been much controversy over the direction that spiderman is going. My personal opinion is that I think it's good for Peter Parker's luck to change but everybody knows Peter Parker will get his body back but I want to hear how people will think they will do it.

 

[Bass]

Re: Superior spiderman

Doc Ock will probably voluntarily relinquish his body back to Peter Parker as a last act of redemption and heroism. :-/

 

[Uncanny Justin]

Well idk cause in the future of age of ultron he's still Otto

 

[Zombipanda]

Re: Superior spiderman

Doc Ock will be Spider-Man forever.

End of story.

You all are terribly cynical for thinking otherwise and I don't want to be your friends anymore.

They are doing the best they probably can with it, but I hate the premise and it adds absolutely nothing to either character.

Welcome, by the way. :-D

 

[Uncanny Justin]

I personally like the back and forth of Peter slowly getting his body back

All in all a great story line

Re: Superior spiderman

Like.

When did Bass get replaced with a spambot?

Something needs to happen in Spider-Man. Its been fun but 9 issues of this is about 3 too many.

 

[Uncanny Justin]

They started to do something with hobgoblin and i don't see y they can't keep going with it

 

[E]

Re: Superior spiderman

The whole thing just reminds me of a "let's do this and see what happens" instead of having a story progress naturally toward it. Did we even see any signs in Amazing that Peter was struggling with someone in his head? It just happened.

This is how Bendis writes. It's sloppy and it takes the fun out of reading it. It would have been a lot better to see the progression toward Doc Ock strengthening his presence in Peter's mind and not know what was going on.

Unless we did get that and it was so unremarkable that I just forgot about it...?

 

[Uncanny Justin]

So what ur saying is that it's more like a "what if" story

Re: Superior spiderman

No...I'm saying the lead up to Doc Ock actually taking over Peter's brain was poorly handled.

 

[Uncanny Justin]

Ya it was random and I think that's what made it better

Unlike.

Re: Superior spiderman

It wasn't really random. It was just a huge leap from one story to the next when the two stories should have been better connected.

And randomness doesn't make stories better. Plot twists sometimes do, but there has to be some kind of frame of reference for it to make sense and be good.

When Peter had the black costume, it would sometimes get on him in the middle of the night and make him go web-swinging while he was still asleep. That is an example of two plot points being connected and maintaining a mystery of something being wrong without giving any idea what. There's no reason Superior couldn't have done that. Especially considering that it's the same writer and in a short period of time.
