Superior Spider-Man # 9 Spoilers

The pirates have struck early again as Superior Spider-Man # 9 has been released earlier than expected. Here are the spoilers for what seems to be the rematch between Dr. Octopus aka Superior Spider-Man and Peter Parker aka Amazing Spider-Man.

In this issue, Otto Octavius finally found out that there's a sliver of Parker's memory still living inside this hijacked body of his. He finally goes out of his way to finally confront what he considers as a nuisance. Inside Parker's brain no less.

Peter Parker calls out his first ace as he goes and calls in some reinforcements including dead guys and gals like Gwen Stacy and her father Captain George Stacy. Oh and more importantly, Uncle Ben also joined in the fight.

Several panels later, Otto calls in his own backup...

A massacre occurs and when all seems lost, Parker remembers one last thing, that he also happens to be the Amazing Spider-Man.

Not to be outdone, Otto also transform into the Superior Spider-Man and they 'dance' one last time.

The issue ends badly for Parker as he once again gets usurped from his own body. Now I'm truly wondering how they'll be able to dig their way out of this fiasco in time for Amazing Spider-Man 2 which is well underway. 

I have two words for Octavius after this issue. YOU BASTARD!

This issue is definitely worth getting. In fact I'm already ordering my copy for tomorrow.

Superior Spider-Man Set for Collision Course with Spider-Man 2099

It's finally happened, Miguel O'Hara aka Spider-Man 2099 is set to meet Otto Octavius aka Superior Spider-Man in an upcoming story arc for the ongoing Superior Spider-Man.

Art by Olivier Coipel

During an interview with Comicbookresources, Dan Slott reveals that this meeting of two spiders will be entitled "Necessary Evil". The story sees Miguel O'Hara doing a Kyle Reese (from Terminator) going back to the past to change the future. Obviously Slott and his art partner for the art Ryan Stegman is keeping quiet with all the major plot points but they are stating that the seeds for Miguel O'Hara's trip to the past has been sown as early as the Amazing Spider-Man arc "Big Time". 

In fact Slott admits that he made a mistake by writing something that shouldn't be written in Big Time, which of course, gets edited out and replaced with the release of the tradepaperback. The writer also reveals that this is going to be important as it once again reshapes the Spider-Man legacy and the entire Marvel Universe.One last thing, there's a certain Osborn that'll be returning to the fold.

Superior Spider-Man # 1 Spoilers - Spidey-Ock being a Perv and the Return of Peter Parker

I know I said that I won't touch Superior Spider-Man due to my hatred for the clusterfuck that was Amazing Spider-Man # 700 but the way my friend Kyle (who's busy maintaining the Superior Spider-Man facebook page) kept doing the hypebeast for the book got the better of me. So here I am now doing spoilers for Superior Spider-Man # 1 done by Dan Slott and Ryan Stegman.

So anyway, as always, SPOILERS ABOUND.

Fuck You Marvel and Fuck You Too Superior Spider-Man

I guess at this point, its pretty much confirmed that the new Superior Spider-Man really won't be Peter Parker  after Amazing Spider-Man # 700. 

Honestly, I was already thinking of this a few weeks back ever since "Dying Wish" started in ASM # 698 but I did not want to think of this. 

But since Marvel is already bitching how the supposed "biggest surprise" for 2012 has been leaked all over the Internet, might as well openly talk about it now. 

How Did Doc Ock Swap Minds with Peter Parker in Amazing Spider-Man # 699?

The biggest question prior to the release of Superior Spider-Man # 1 is how the frack did Dr. Octopus switch minds with Peter Parker which is the central plot for the "Dying Wish".

Dan Slott wasn't lying when he stated that the seeds of the mind-swap had roots in ASM # 600. Last issue, Octavius managed to gloat over the dying Spidey in the Raft. In this issue, Parker fights back and tries to find out how this happened taking the readers along for the ride.

Amazing Spider-Man # 698 Probable Spoilers

Take the following image with a grain of salt because it hasn't been proven or confirmed but there's part of Amazing Spider-Man # 698 which will throw readers for a doozy.

Readers beware as this may or may not be a major spoiler especially with the impending release of Superior Spider-Man.

Amazing Spider-Man # 697 Review and Spoilers

Here's a review and some major spoilers for Amazing Spider-Man # 697 by Dan Slott and Christos Gage with art by Guiseppi Camuncoli.

The second part of the Hobgoblin vs Hobgoblin story arc continues with Parker and Modell running for dear life while the two Hobgoblins give chase.

The art for the book lead by artist Guiseppi Camuncoli looks nice. Ever since the last Lizard arc, I have to admit that the artwork is starting to grow and now I can say that its really nice. The facial expressions and action sequences are great although, the artist seems to have a hard time doing dynamic motions for the book. 

Slott goes and puts some nice little tidbits in preparation for his next arc which will "change Spider-Man and Peter Parker's lives forever". Its these little quirks that makes Spider-Man such an interesting read every moment. 

Slott's nice writing made it possible to introduce crazy ideas such as Spider-Man taking a note from his archenemy Norman Osborn's secret arsenal...

Slott and company also manages to bring in a couple of loose characters that haven't been seen in ASM for quite some time now including Harry Osborn...

There's this panel which made Harry Osborn look like Hughie from "The Boys"

Slott loves to tease us with a lot of stuff regarding to final issue of ASM which is rumored to be the last time we'll get to see Peter Parker as Spider-Man for the time being. Another returning character that surfaces once again comes in the form of Norman Osborn who emerges from his coma. A coma he suffered in the pages of Avengers and New Avengers.Another Osborn nugget comes when we visit his secret stash...

There are also a number of Octobots running around the city and pointing back to the imminent return of Doctor Octopus next issue. 

Anyway there are a number of things to love in this issue. There's a bit of Osborn's, a little tension about the future of Peter's super powered career and then there's also that moment when we find out that Kingpin has more plans. Oh and then there's also Julia Carter's condition after her breakdown two issues ago.

Emma Stone Talks About Being Gwen Stacy in "Amazing Spider-Man"

Fast-rising star Emma Stone plays Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker’s first love and more importantly, his first real connection to the world around him, in Columbia Pictures' new action-adventure, “The Amazing Spider-Man.”

It’s a very different relationship from the one that audiences might be more familiar with. “I feel like Mary Jane fell in love with Spider-Man. Gwen falls in love with Peter Parker,” Stone explains.
