Superior Spider-Man #30 - Goblin Nation Part 4 of 5

@urbanchill: I agree completely. I was really disappointed. This entire series has been about Doc Ock's ego, then for the sake of plot convenience, he decides, "Nah screw it, I suck you do it Peter" over the course of like 4 pages? It feels like such a crappy climax to such an extremely good series. More specifically, to me it feels like a waste of a year's worth of great stories. I really don't know if this final issue can do anything to change my feelings on the matter.

hahaha I know right? especially the predictable part. I'm gonna miss SpOck so fraggin' much!

Loved it. Can't wait for the epic conclusion next ish!

exactly, hopefully spock is not actually gone. @mickeymayhew:

goodbye SpOck, hello predictable Peter; girl troubles, money troubles, job troubles *stifles yawn*

Would of been better if it wasn't spoiled 3 months in advance.

@barkley: Gotta watch the f-bombs in the future, please

did anybody else think this issue sucked ? everything happened wayyyyy too quickly and ock just gave up his body and consciousness that easily to peter

typically the big reveal is actually surprising but the whole freaking issue actually was lead to peter getting his body back

I only have paid attention to this series honestly because Spider-man is my favorite super-hero, but I got a question about Peter's return -is the Peter Parker that was alive before the entire Superior Spider-man series the same one to come back now? I have searched for an answer online but know one has talked about this. Either no one cares or the answer is obvious and I'm stupid! My opinion is that Ock and Peter never switched minds. Nothing was ever swapped between them - EVER! Doc rewrote his brain patterns on Peter's brain, most likely leaving Peter underneath, which would perfectly explain "Ghost Peter" because NO ONE EVER ASKED HOW HE GOT THERE. Slott said that these were the memories of Peter Parker but how did the "form" a conciseness? Memories are a part of the brain that allows people to remember things, they don't suddenly come to life, know what I mean? Doc rewrote each others brains probably thinking that it was the best way for him to continue his "life". I am asking for others' opinion's though. This is what I think but I want to know what everyone else believes; please comment.

@feargalr: Hope so

Great issue-my favorite of this arc so far!

Me too :/

I think/hope that this is part of a larger plan by Spock. I'm hoping he gets his own body, maybe a clone... and gets his own series at some point!

@sparty_dbq: Forever and always, my Superior.................

if i would have written this review, i probably would have written the exact same thing as tony word for word

Sigh. I really enjoyed this but it's kind of sad that it has to end this way. I almost don't want to read the last issue because I pretty much know how it's going to go. Superior Spidey was interesting because you knew Otto was going to fail eventually but seeing him succeed in a few key spots was what made the book worthwhile.

Now Peter's coming back and of course he's going to take care of business again, and again, and again. At the very least we finally get to see an old school Green Goblin vs Spidey showdown that has been sorely missing in 616 as of late. I sort of wish Otto and Gobby just had one truly even fight instead of Octavius getting completely and utterly schooled by Norman's prep skills. Alas all good things must end and I will miss this series a lot. It was the most interested I've been in a Spider-Man comic in a long time. I was getting choked up at the end of this issue.

yes it did seem kind of sudden. but remember ock is desperate and this has been going on for several issues. it would be awesome to see ock come back after this as a hero. this series was just too good to let him go.

Loved this, cant wait to see where it goes from here

Don't hate on SpOck people. I could totally have invested 1 more year to this series....don't get me wrong Peter is the one true Spider-man but man, this series really hit a home run.

@porthunt said:

Srsly, it was AWESOME.

AND DON'T YOU F***ING FORGET IT!

Predicted just about the same. Ock was going to need Peter to take care of this. Even though it moved quickly, I honestly thought this issue was great. I hope marvel brings Ock back as some sort of anti-hero. I also gotta give credit where credit is due. I was a huge hater with the start of this series. Gave it a chance and loved everything about it. Thanks for the ride, SpOck. But, I am pumped to see Pete back....

Called it. Called it. I explained just this happening two weeks ago after issue 29 how I thought Peter would be restored. /detective

A very good issue.

It's over. It's finally over.

I've loved this series. Best Spider-Man, or Doc Ock if you prefer, story in a decade. I have high expectations for the next issue to be epic. Gotta admit though, I'm a bit worried Anna Maria isn't going to make it.

Srsly, it was AWESOME.

Peter is the Superior..fck it...the Amazing Spider-man!!!

I LOVED this issue. Basically an issue where Peter is glorified.

:'( I'm gonna miss Otto, good bye Superior Spiderman

Pettttteerrrr!!!!!

Good riddance Spock! Long live The Amazing Spider-Man!

As I finished reading Superior Spider-Man 30, I find myself feeling sad. Even sadder than when I read Amazing Spider-Man 700. I'm really going to miss this series.

I dont get the hate. All he did was move his consciousness into a new clone.

Now there is just one question left: Otto Octavius, can we trust him?

as a true comicbook/colledgehumor fan, there is only one thing to ask: Otto Octavius, can we trust him?

Such a depressing issue to read as a fan of the character, but I have to admit that end was cool.

Wait so is Liz Allan the goblin?

Well that was fun while it lasted. I wonder what Otto's consciousness will end up downloaded into.

Suddenly things feel like they're moving a little quickly. SpOck has always been full of arrogance but in one particular area here (which I won't spoil), it feels like he gives up too quickly and easily. Part of me feels like it's a trick. It's understandable that after everything that's happened with his fight against the Goblin, he feels he has no choice. It's just a bit of a 180 and almost feels too easy for what has to happen next. Obviously there is still more to see.

THANK YOU!!

Yyyyyyyup.
He's gonna try to do it again....

I think Ock died a hero. I trust in Otto Octavius!

Not really, he will be back. They always come back!

It'll be said when Otto's gone

Still don't trust Spock 100%.
