Based on all the loose webbing and classic spidey poses I'm going to go ahead and say its a bunch of parallel universe spider men. It probably all ties to the frequently cited to prediction by the new Madame Web that the "web" in unraveling and all the "spiders" will die. And I'm going to go ahead and call it, there will be a Spider-Pool.

@mezmero: No if this was a "Dan Slott Disrespect Thread" I would be on here everyday talking about how there hasn't been a decent Spider-Man story since Grim Hunt and going through and pointing out whats wrong with each and every story since. I won't even go as far as to say its a lack of talent by Slott. Honestly I think he was probably just being too ambitious when he switched to bimonthly. Yes, he can come up with ideas fast enough, but I'd rather he spend more time making sure they were executed well with good writing.

But instead of waging these criticisms, I come here to find out what's happening in Superior, make predictions as to what will happen next, and reminisce about classic Spidey pointing out the differences between the two characters. The reason why its acceptable to discuss Amazing Spider-Man in this forum is because he is Superior Spider-Man. You can't talk/think about one comic without at least considering the other. In fact the only flaw I see in this forum is that Dan Slott and his mindless supporters have decided to come here time and time again to attack anyone who decides to assess his work as less than perfect. So if you think we're too critical, create a "Superior Spider-Man Fans Only" forum or a "Dan Slott Support Group." This is a broad topic forum and so long as someone is in someway discussing something related to Spider-Man then they are discussing Superior Spider-Man.

Now to stay on topic. I hate to hear the way sweat ol' Aunt May was portrayed in the most recent issue. I'm starting to think that all this bizarre behavior by so many characters could only be explained by this being some delusion produced within the mind of a comatose Dr. Octopus produced by him failing to exchange memories with Peter Parker.

I would like to also say that Amazing 700.1, though on the dull side, was wonderfully refreshing, had the perfect mood/atmosphere for the holiday season, and was so authentically classic Spidey that if you told me it was printed 20-30 years ago (and I didn't already know better) I would believe you.

Actually I doubt the Spider-Slayer is dead. I was actually hoping it would turn out his identity is hidden away in the Spider-Island computers and he takes it over at the worst possible time.

Although, new prediction, Smythe managed to have a bot carrying his identity escape and (because he knows SpOck is Ock) he stole Ock's body to revive it (turning it into a horrible machine-man hybrid) and use it as a tool for revenge. Thus leading to the creation of the host for the Superior Venom.

Dislike. The whole thing is a gimmick. Gimmicks sell books, but they are rarely looked back upon fondly.

@animehunter: Honestly, part of me would love to just have the Goblin King give the journal to Jameson and then watch the chaos ensue.

One more prediction. Goblin King is not Norman, but instead Gabriel Stacy (who probably stole Norman's body from the hospital and has it stored away somewhere). The reason being because SpOck could never beat Norman. Instead the tagline that this is the beginning of the end is just another event of trolling by Marvel/Slott. Instead SpOck wins. And we're stuck with Superior as the main Spidey comic until either Miles Morales become the new Amazing Spider-man or sales drop enough for Marvel to actually step in and do something.

Of course I could be wrong, this is just kind of what I've come to expect from Marvel over the last few years.

@animehunter: Referring back to my previous prediction. Carlie could be exposed to the Goblin Serum, as a form of temporary insanity/brainwashing (so long as Peter could possibly cure her) leaving Peter with yet another mess to clean up when he gets back.

@kostisfire: Just to throw out a new idea. The Goblin King (I still don't think it's going to be Norman) uses the Goblin Serum to make the final member of the Goblin Court. How about some guesses as to whom?

I like the idea of Pedro being a goblin henchmen so, my prediction is MJ.

@animehunter: If its true, I only hope Yost gets assigned to a better book. Honestly I think his writing is the only reason why anyone has been reading spidey's team-up books. He has to be one of the best writers at Marvel right now.

@punyparker: Right now I'd rather read a book focused on Spider-girl than read Superior Spider-Man. Pre #700, if you told me there was going to be a war between Ock and a Green Goblin I would have been pumped for it and wouldn't have missed an issue, but considering I've found the quality of writing to be abysmal as of late, I'm probably going to just wait for someone to summarize the event online. To be completely honest I hadn't found the writing in Spidey to be all that good since BND but 700 and beyond has marked a sharp drop of quality in my opinion.

I've basically switched back over to DC, but I've personally been enjoying Cable and the X-Force (but I've always been a fan of Cable), I was enjoying the Hulk until they started the time travel story and though I've read most of the issues, I haven't been able to latch on to the current Fantastic Four story.

As for the future for Marvel, the only thing I think looks good may be the new New Warriors or the new X-Factor, but we'll have to wait to see.
