About this deal

I could’ve done without Dan Slott turning Aunt May into a bigot towards little people though. Also, apparently MJ’s new “love interest” in this story is just as forgettable to Dan Slott himself, as he forgets his last name in the very last issue. First appearing as Pedro Olivera, leaving as Pedro Olivares. But it doesn’t matter, he goes by Ollie anyways…stupid. Ryan Stegman serves as the major artist for the run, and while he delivers action quite well, I personally don't find his style as appealing as it was during Cates' Venom run. There is a very "busy" feel to Stegman's designs that sometimes results in some inconsistent and sketchy panels. It often looks a bit like every other Marvel book at the time too - a shame for a series that is surprisingly unique in terms of concept. I'm sure more ardent Marvel/Spider-Man fans would enjoy the artwork here, but I was mostly unmoved by it. I appreciate that this lasted 17 issues and had a definite ending that tied-up most of the plot points. No need to drag it out forever.

The plot definitely kept moving, with plenty of twists and surprises. The characters were well-developed and entertaining--and, while bad, they were still sympathetic enough that their victories and losses meant something to me as a reader. Immaginate "Slevin: patto criminale" e "Fight Club" interpretati da supercriminali Marvel di serie z e vi sarete fatti un'idea. Some of the most fun I've had with a Marvel comic in the last ten years. This is up there with the likes of Fraction & Aja's amazing Hawkeye run.Lot of great moments but also some equally as frustrating ones. The story boarding is better than the script, how the plot connects from one issue to the next will keep you compelled to keep reading but the dialogue may leave you wanting more. I was on my "I have no enemies" arc, but after reading this, maybe I should grow up and go on my Otto arc and call everyone a dolt LMAO Marvel NOW dönemi çizgi romanlar arasında, en kenarda köşede kalmış, en mütevazı ama iyi yazılmış serilerden bir tanesi herhalde bu. Tavsiye eden olmasa ben de görmezdim en başta, baskısı bitiyor olmasa almayacaktım bile bu ara. İyi ki alıp okumuşum, çünkü ÇOK KOMİK ABİ.

Just when things started to go good for Peter Parker (for once), something bad happened. While visiting a dying Otto Octavius, Peter suddenly had his mind swapped with Otto's, allowing Otto to live and run around in Peter's body. But just before Peter died, Otto discovered the "true" meaning of "With great power comes great responsibility" via Peter's harrowing memories, so he decided to live up to Peter's legacy and become the Superior Spider-Man. This book had enough in the tank to keep me invested, which is something. But never enough to impress me or get a real laugh out of me. Punisher: My intel tells me the heads of every major crime organization in the city are going to be converging on one spot tonight. I am going to go there and execute every last one of them. I am going to purify this cesspool. Uber driver: I hear ya -- You know what else you should do? Get one of them Cronuts. People line up all day for those things. A big missed opportunity for some much needed comic relief was when Peter was trapped in his own mind. Instead of using Peter’s personality as a flip side to Doc’s, most of Peter’s dialogue boils down to “Noooooo, Otto don’t do the thing you’re doing! I would never do that!” Every. Single. Time. Instead they take it super serious and the result is most of the book feeling incredibly dour. Sounds bad but you kind of have to shut your brain off and read it as dumb fun. Reading how Peter becomes a mad scientist, a fascist, and even a killer.The art was good (definitely serviceable and it never bothered me, but it didn't exactly wow me, either). The story and characters were funny and exciting, with a large number of places that made me laugh out loud. There were even smaller plot threads or moments which added some nuance and depth to the story. Es tal cual como si los protagonistas de 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' decidieran convertirse en supervillanos. Puñaladas traperas, protagonistas a cada cual más irresistiblemente idiota, planes absurdos, un timing cómico sublime con casi todas las páginas conteniendo algún gag y unos giritos argumentales impecables hacen de esta serie un imprescindible, más allá de ser fan o no de Spider-Man (que prácticamente ni sale siquiera).
