First Look: SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #1

There's some spoilers if you've managed to avoid hearing about what happens in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #700.

By now you've probably heard what happened to Spider-Man. He's not the same Spider-Man we've known for years. If you haven't, you really need to read AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #700. Marvel has released a preview for SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #1, on sale next month. We've held off posting to try to give everyone a chance to read ASM 700. Check out the preview:

No Caption Provided
On January 9, Marvel launches SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #1, an all-new ongoing series from Slott and superstar artist Ryan Stegman (FANTASTIC FOUR, SCARLET SPIDER)! Shipping twice-monthly, SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN launches a new chapter in the Marvel mythos, as Doctor Octopus strikes out on his own to be the greatest Spider-Man this world has ever known. But can he keep up the ruse? Will Spidey’s closest allies discover the fate of Peter Parker? And can this Spider-Man truly be a hero?

SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #1 (NOV120633)

Written by DAN SLOTT

Art & Cover by RYAN STEGMAN

Rip off Captain Boomerang does not bode well for the start of this new series.

All I really have to question is...how long will this big switcheroo remain before Ock is caught and people know what's really going on? Interesting change-up but still, no amazing surprises here.

At least he's doing good. I would have hated the idea even more if he'd been an evil spidey. Still I'm on the bring Parker back band wagon. I bet there'll be no witty quips or anything during his fights, in which case everyone would know it's not him.

Peter will be back. Marvel Now was created to bring in new readers. This would confuse the hell out of any new reader if Peter doesnt come back.

I does make me laugh that Peter is dead in both universes. Poor guy needs a hug.

I'll give it a shot. I like that Slott doesn't seem to have used this as an excuse to abandon the wit-factor of Spider-Man, but rather infused a different kind of wit more in line with Octavius... more intelligent, more biting. "Unbelievable! Of all the unmitigated gall! Well, I guess they're letting anyone call themselves the Sinister Six these days."

OK, so based on the end of 700 and this, Superior Spider-Man will be trying to be a real hero, as apposed to how he seemed in Avenging where he still seemed very sinister.

It's funny, I became infinitely more interested in both Ultimate and 616 Spider-Man after Parker died in both universes. This isn't to say that I hate Peter Parker or anything. More than I'm a big fan of alternate takes on established characters. Either way, I'll be waiting for the trade, but I'm definitely going to read this.

I'm not buying a single issue of this garbage until Peter comes back.

Why are so many people excited about this? Don't fans realize that they killed off one of the most beloved heroes of all time in the most half-assed and insulting way possible? On top of that, a villain possessing Peter's body, especially the one who killed him, is a horrible idea for Spider-Man. So what, murderers and robbers just get off scot free while treasured icons are left to die with nothing to show for it? What kind of backwards storytelling is that? Are we actually supposed to root for this creep?

This sounds like the work of really bad fan-fiction as opposed to actual writing. I can't believe fans are supportive for such a putrid concept, what the hell is wrong with you people?

Agreed. I'm obviously going to check it out, but I'm really hoping that over time having Peter's memories and stuff will slowly make Ock and Peter's personality into one

Was hoping Boomerang wouldn't go back to being a petty villain, given everything he did in Thunderbolts, which was great. I didn't see any of those dudes becoming good guys, obviously, but...ya know, something more than just a petty street level villain.

What I'm most interested in is how will doc fair off against osborn, I mean he did "escape" from the hospital assuming he came out of his coma. Considering now that Ock was filling in for norman as spideys main arch nemesis, who in spideys rogue gallery can really reach norman/ock nemesis status? Plus, there is a reason why dan brought norman out of his coma and to see that showdown does seem very intersting... Anyone agree?

i agree with you entirely, its bad enough what marvel has done to the x-men and the avengers in recent years, now spider-man is next on the hitlist. just as long as the cinematic installments dont suffer the fate of the x-men films, i wont lose all hope.

I will read it yes, but I do not like it. I am sorry but Spider-Man is Peter Parker. We were told before that the Ultimate Universe was a place where authors could take comics and do things that they normally wouldn't do in the regular series. They can go balls to the wall so to speak. They killed off Peter and brought a new Spider-man. It sucked that Peter died but we still had the original Peter of the regular universe.

Not anymore. Thanks alot.

@MetalSonic Why read if you're not gonna like it? For me, it all hinged on ASM 700 which not only failed to get me interested in Superior, the ending appalled me so much that I refuse to support it until there's a sign of Peter returning and I've been a fan of Spider-Man since I was a kid.

Exactly. How the hell do they expect me to be interested in or care about the person that effectively killed one of my favorite heroes? Even if they do eventually bring Peter back it isn't like all of this just goes away. In my opinion this is thousands of times worse than OMD

I wonder if in Superior, Ock will try and rehabilitate super villains, considering he is a reformed super villain himself, or will he just go beat them up and perpetuate the cycle the killed Peter Parker making his death pointless?

$3,99? No, thanks. I'm not paying $3,99 for this. I hate that some fans say "but it comes with a free digital copy!" Well, it isn't free, you are paying $3,99 for a comic that should be $2,99. Get ride of the free digital copy and take down that extra buck. I don't buy Marvel because of that.

Only to say that I "did give it a chance". like lots of others here, I won't be happy till they bring spider-man back.
