Superior Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 1 (Superior Spider-man Omnibus, 1)

Product Information

Some of the other funny bits of the series include a subplot involving a support group for super villains who want to go strait, a running gag with one superhero always getting his wings caught on doors and windows, and the disembodied cyborg head of a mob boss. I appreciate that this lasted 17 issues and had a definite ending that tied-up most of the plot points. No need to drag it out forever.

Superior Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 1 (The Superior Spider-man)

Some of the most fun I've had with a Marvel comic in the last ten years. This is up there with the likes of Fraction & Aja's amazing Hawkeye run. Just when things started to go good for Peter Parker (for once), something bad happened. While visiting a dying Otto Octavius, Peter suddenly had his mind swapped with Otto's, allowing Otto to live and run around in Peter's body. But just before Peter died, Otto discovered the "true" meaning of "With great power comes great responsibility" via Peter's harrowing memories, so he decided to live up to Peter's legacy and become the Superior Spider-Man. The plot definitely kept moving, with plenty of twists and surprises. The characters were well-developed and entertaining--and, while bad, they were still sympathetic enough that their victories and losses meant something to me as a reader. A big missed opportunity for some much needed comic relief was when Peter was trapped in his own mind. Instead of using Peter’s personality as a flip side to Doc’s, most of Peter’s dialogue boils down to “Noooooo, Otto don’t do the thing you’re doing! I would never do that!” Every. Single. Time. Instead they take it super serious and the result is most of the book feeling incredibly dour. Sounds bad but you kind of have to shut your brain off and read it as dumb fun. Reading how Peter becomes a mad scientist, a fascist, and even a killer. To clarify, this is like an 8.5 out of 10, but a Goodreads 5 star apparently means "I love it!" While 4 stars means "I really liked it" (at least on the desktop it says that)This book had enough in the tank to keep me invested, which is something. But never enough to impress me or get a real laugh out of me. Immaginate "Slevin: patto criminale" e "Fight Club" interpretati da supercriminali Marvel di serie z e vi sarete fatti un'idea. Uber driver: I hear ya -- You know what else you should do? Get one of them Cronuts. People line up all day for those things. Marvel NOW dönemi çizgi romanlar arasında, en kenarda köşede kalmış, en mütevazı ama iyi yazılmış serilerden bir tanesi herhalde bu. Tavsiye eden olmasa ben de görmezdim en başta, baskısı bitiyor olmasa almayacaktım bile bu ara. İyi ki alıp okumuşum, çünkü ÇOK KOMİK ABİ. If you only want to take Spiderman seriously, you won't like this. But if you can laugh at the ridiculousness of it and don't mind spending time with some hilariously selfish characters, it's a real hoot. You don't need to know anything about these characters in advance. I didn't. But you might get more out of it if you do.

I could’ve done without Dan Slott turning Aunt May into a bigot towards little people though. Also, apparently MJ’s new “love interest” in this story is just as forgettable to Dan Slott himself, as he forgets his last name in the very last issue. First appearing as Pedro Olivera, leaving as Pedro Olivares. But it doesn’t matter, he goes by Ollie anyways…stupid. I was on my "I have no enemies" arc, but after reading this, maybe I should grow up and go on my Otto arc and call everyone a dolt LMAO The RRP is the suggested or Recommended Retail Price of a product, set by the publisher or manufacturer.Punisher: My intel tells me the heads of every major crime organization in the city are going to be converging on one spot tonight. I am going to go there and execute every last one of them. I am going to purify this cesspool. Lot of great moments but also some equally as frustrating ones. The story boarding is better than the script, how the plot connects from one issue to the next will keep you compelled to keep reading but the dialogue may leave you wanting more. I also don't usually tend to like stories where the villains are the protagonists, because I like to have someone to root for, but since this story is a comedy, that's an entirely different thing. The team of villains is basically like Oceans' Eleven, except more bad (I hesitate to go so far as to call them really evil--again, it's a comedy) and less competent. And instead of one big heist, the plot involves a series of heists and double-crosses and people having their own plans. Not only that, but it's where Slott's run really first became interesting to me. The Big Time era had a lot of recycled villains and felt like the same old Spider-Man stories you've read before. But Superior Spider-Man serves as a really fun counterbalance to that. You get to see Otto handle all the villains from Big Time in a much more decisive and satisfying way than Peter ever would. I also love how he handles J. Jonah Jameson and even Mary Jane (not as creepy as it sounds). And that's not to say you need to have read Big Time. Most of the villains here are classic ones you'll recognize from other Spider-Man media. I was a little disappointed in who the ultimate villain of the story was, but the execution was still pretty on point. I generally bought into the conclusion. I think what really satisfied me was the actual progressing story. You see the insane changes Otto makes as Peter and Spider-Man and it really does make you wonder why Peter hasn't done something like this. You see and learn about Otto's upbringing and how that effects his interactions with men and women. There isn't a giant plot following outside of Otto changing as Peter, but you do have an all stakes finale storyline. My main critique is actually with the final storyline as it feels pretty rushed. There's not enough time to feel the weight on Otto's shoulders and the of course obvious return of the true Peter. There's also just way too much going/being revealed on last minute that takes away time for what could've been used for a better Peter return.
