Teaser: SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN takes on SHADOWLAND

Superior Spider-Man has Kingpin's empire in his sights.

You better head for the hills, Kingpin. Remember that time Spider-Man absolutely wrecked and humiliated Fisk while he was in prison? Well, it looks like the Superior Spider-Man is aiming to duplicate that savage beating -- and in the process take down Kingpin's empire in New York. Otto is aiming to clean up the streets and, naturally, this means toppling Shadowland.

No Caption Provided

As you can tell by the above cover, "Parker" will have an all-new look. But that's not the only change, Viners. Marvel says the web-head will have brand new allies, too. Since he's diving fists first into Shadowland, expect lots of ninja action and the return of Hobgoblin(s). But this has me curious... who do you think Otto's new allies will be? Based on the cover, it looks like he has an army? Written by Dan Slott and illustrated by Humberto Ramos, SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #14 goes on sale this July.

A few days ago, Marvel released a preview for SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #9 as well. What I find odd is they promoted it as a big change for the book -- one of the characters will finally take full control of the hero's body. But the information here -- a chapter which takes place five issues later -- clearly confirms Otto's in the driver's seat. Can't say I'm surprised with that decision, but it's a bit odd they're cool with revealing that so soon.

so looks like he'll be delegating his hero work to henchmen or volunteers of some sort, not a 100% on the new suit think it needs a bit of red in the middle to take away from all that black

Maybe this is Peter, maybe in issue 9 Pete regains control, but leaves the superior title, so in Superior Spider-Man 14, Peter is the Superior one and not Otto.

All those people who hated on Slott for creating the Superior Spider-man can begin thanking him for all of the great story arcs that are resulting because of the change. That being said, I really miss Peter Parker as Spider-man.

hmm i actually like the new costume. it says 'otto' more then 'peter'. we all knew Otto wasnt going to run around in the red and blue, and while some of you might not like Ramos'(i think) rendition, another artist might do it for you. give it time, let it grow on you before you all start poo-poo'ing it

I think I have an idea, and I hope that I'm wrong...

But, didn't they say that issue #9 was going to piss the fans off even more? Since Peter will be fighting with Otto for control over his body in that issue, maybe it doesn't just mean he loses the "fight" but maybe disappears for good? D:

I really hope I'm wrong! >_<

I'm thinking that Doc Ock expells Peter out of his body complete, but I think Peter will escape somehow.

I don't think that's a villain. I think those are his allies. Look at the Spidey-like goggles on all of them.

So now they are changing the 616 costume to match Ultimates costume? Meh

Ultimate Costume? That reminds me of Ben Reilly's Costume as Spider-Man.
