If you don't enjoy a title, don't read it. I'm actually enjoying reading Spider-Man for the first time in many years.

@FiguredOut95: I'd hold out til "Fired" in April, I think all we're doing at the moment is slowly setting up for it, which may be why you think it feels stale. I get the feeling Slott wants Ock to trip up and make mistakes and give away his identity (or at least cast doubt upon Spider-man's identity) but he's waiting for all the pieces to fall into place. If you're already caught up to Feb, it'd seem a bit pointless to just miss out on the one issue before that...

If you're not feeling a book then you're not feeling it, that doesn't mean you're closed-minded. Why waste your money on something you're not enjoying? Especially when it ships twice a month! You could give it a couple more issues but I say drop it, spend your money on something else you might enjoy a ton more :)

First of all, many spidey fans dislike the concept. No need to feel bad about it. To be honest, I can't stand the whole SSM thing. I gave it a try and I found it completely mediocre and boring. If you like it, read it. If you don't, drop it. Spend your money or your time in a way that pleases you the most. It's a comic book, right?

Personally, I enjoy the series. But the mindset that I'm having when I read Superior is that 'this is all temporary - so just enjoy the ride'. I'm reading it as though it's one really long 'story arc' that culminates in Peter Parker returning back to life, and I find that this sort of POV definitely makes me enjoy the book more. When I finally stop thinking about how much the idea bugs me, I can finally take in the actual story for itself.

That being said, if you're not enjoying it, drop the book! If you're still unsure about the series, either reread earlier issues or hang on for a couple more new issues before making your decision.

This book is great. I read a lot of key arcs just recently for the first time and looking at it as a whole; it's great! You can actually see the progression of Peter and how he worked before he "died" was getting to be routine. Not just in the book but it felt like Pete was getting comfortable with his life and then this thing happens (brain manipulation) and it's teaching him that yeah "maybe i could've done better at being spider-man" and ock is showing him how in some ways. Yes, Pete is a great "Hero" but not as efficient as he could be. I see it as a big lecture Ock is giving Pete and when pete comes back he going to be better than ever and mature as a Hero. And this gives Slott a chance to revert some things. He can really take anything in any direction and set up Pete for a good return. I just wish i would've started reading sooner! I just started comics back in sept. with the new 52 and kept it DC until 700. I've always liked spidey, but felt intimidated to start reading because at the time "Spider- Island" was happening and I went with the Ultimate Spider-man up to the death arc. (me not knowing the differnce) Plus Petes reactions to some of the things is priceless and hilarious. It's a really fun book IMO and it got me enjoying comics again when I was feeling they were getting pretty stale.

Honestly, as others have said, wait till 'Fired'. After that arc, if you still don't like it, drop it.

I did, but I'll pick it up when Fired starts. Waid, Yost, and now Hockman have written a better Superior Spider-Man than Slott, and I hate to admit it.

I stop reading since Alpha.

Wait... I know that except SS superior has appeared also in DareDevil and Avengers... Where else?

Yost's Avenging Spider-Man. New issue was out today. Admittedly, last month's was better, but this month's was still very well done. Lot's of foreboding stuff, including a possible new angle on the Sinister Six (that's what I'm guessing it is, anyway) .

@End_Boss: lol, you'll choke me...I was drinking water...

@HushoftheWind: It's a great read so far, way superior to Superior...

I am in the same boat as you. I gave the new series a chance and thought it could be interesting but its just coming off as bland. I find for every issue I like there is two I do not like. What I am going to do is give it up till issue 12 that would normally be a full year of comics to see if I like the direction and if there is any hope for Peters return.
