Jacobin_Wisdom is in the right ball park. Clearly the Spider-Man in the main AU series is Ock. At the beginning of this new issue, he clearly mentions sleeping through the beginning of the event, which references the second issue of the main series. And then towards the end of the issue, Stark states that they're hoping that Luke Cage's plan works, which directly ties into issue # 3. Ock is just that good of an actor. As for the difference of costume, that's simple. Age of Ultron was planned and penciled BEFORE Dan Slott and Ryan Stegman created the Superior Spider-Man design. So it's safe to say that Bryan Hitch, when he penciled issue #1, didn't have the sketches from Stegman to go off of for reference. So now, at least I feel, this explains what we've all been asking. AU Spider-Man is still Doc Ock.
