Superior Spider-Man, Vol. 3: No Escape

The solicit info is slightly off, this also includes Superior Spidey # 16. Anyhow... Dan Slott is weaving his magic, the story of SpOck keeps building, while the blocks are being put together, we start to see the tiniest of chinks in Spidey's armor, and the excitement continues. Giuseppe Camuncoli and Humberto Ramos and the rest of the art team are really lighting it up on the art front. Superior Spider-Man is some of the best Spidey I've ever had the pleasure of reading.

I love this title so much! It is not only full of action-packed, Spidey adventures, it is laugh out loud funny. I am a huge Peter Parker fan, but Doc Ock is so, so good in this role. The opening story with the Spider Slayer showed again that Otto may actually be a superior Spider-Man to Peter. I am in no way endorsing capital punishment carried out by superheroes, but Doc Ock seems to be very good at getting the job done for the greater good. Because he was a former supervillain, he is continually one step ahead of the villains that he encounters. Taking over the raft, and turning it into his new headquarters (Spider Island 2) was a genius move, and hiring Spiderlings as his "henchmen" was so hilariously enjoyable for me to read. His robots, the Aracnaughts, help make the Superior Spider-Man a legitimate military force. I could go on and an on about how much I like the new Spider-Man. For example, his new costume is super cool, and the advanced technology that he uses to fight crime truly makes him superior to the Amazing Spider-Man. If Peter Parker ever finds a way to make a return as the Amazing Spider-Man, I honestly want Doc Ock to continue as the Superior Spider-Man. In a lot of ways, I want Peter to stay dead, because this title is just too good. Thank you, Dan Slott. Other quick notes: -Taking down the Kingpin had to be done. Otto did the right thing, although it is possible this will escalate the violence. -I like this version of Hobgoblin, but seeing him take over as the Goblin Knight may be fun too. I'm optimistic about this. -I'm not convinced that the Goblin King is Norman Osbourne, but I could be wrong. Either way, we are heading towards a huge war against the goblins. -The Lizard is a good guy now? This can't be forever. -There is a nerd character that is really mad and powerful. I don't know who he is, but he seems important. -Carlie seems to have things figured out about "Peter" not being himself, but I don't want her to solve the mystery. She is being aided in her investigation by Wraith. Again, I have no idea who this character is, or her importance. -Norah got fired. What will they do with the character now?

Otto Octavius IS the Superior Spider-Man! This volume sees Otto as Peter Parker/Spider-Man really upping the ante and moving New York towards a benevolent spider-themed dictatorship. It just keeps getting better and better. Otto approaches the superhero role like a super villain and the results are both hilarious and fun. Otto has improved crime fighting far past what Peter could have ever imagined but it's making him some powerful enemies. I can't wait to see how the Otto and the series progresses. Bring on volume 4!

This book is great. More and more of the villain DOC OC used to be is bleeding through. From his loyal troops (who suspicously look like Hydra troops lol) to his disregard for moral institutions.

Spider-Man has always set himself boundaries, for better or worse. But this new Spider-Man doesn't have them. Heck, he barely knows what they are. Which ones will he chose and which ones will he ignore?

I've loved Superior Spider-Man since the first issue, and this series continues to make me enjoy it even more. Many problems arise for ol' Otto and its fun to see how he deals with them in a superior way. Story is amazing. Art is great.

Great continuation from the last volume. I loved every page. Each character is written in such a way they feel real.

This story just keeps ramping up game getting better and better! The inclusion of Hobgoblin and so many other great villains throughout This story really makes it feel like a big deal! It's truly a great read!

"Plus rien ne sera jamais comme avant". Combien de fois l'a-t-on lue, cette phrase, dans les textes promotionnels de la Maison des Idées au dos de ses livres ? Combien de "relaunches", de "rebooots", de "re-re" avons nous lus - chez Marvel ou ailleurs -, pour qu'au final (et même avant le final...), rien n'ait changé ? Eh bien, là, on est servis ! Non seulement le porteur historique du costume de Spider-man, un certain Peter Parker, est vraiment mort et remplacé par Otto Octavius alias Doc Octopus (cf. ' Spider-Man: Dying Wish '), mais il est "mort-mort" (cf. ' Superior Spider-Man - Volume 2: A Troubled Mind '), car, pour ceux qui croient au concept d'"âme" ou de "conscience", Octavius a fait en sorte de se débarrasser aussi de celle de PP. Dans ce tome composé de 6 numéros de la série (SSM #11-16), le "Superior Spider-Man" n'a quasiment plus aucun frein, sauf celui lié au fait que son "enveloppe parkérienne" n'est pas docteur en physique. Ce qui lui impose, pour récupérer le précieux parchemin, de suivre les cours de doctorat délivrés par un de ses anciens condisciples peu doués... Au reste, Octavius laisse quasiment tout tomber de la vie de PP, y compris MJ (!!!), Aunt May, le laboratoire Horizons etc. car il est tout à la mise en place de son propre monstrueux agenda. Ainsi, qu'importe la menace (par exemple, le "Shadowland" installé à Hell's Kitchen), le "SSM" prévoit tout, voit plus grand, et ne recule devant aucune limite, y compris celle consistant à occire l'opposant. Les Vengeurs s'inquiètent, Jameson est piégé, mais "à la fin de la journée", "SSM" continue d'agir selon ses propres désirs. Toutefois, deux flics qui ont pu ajouter un à un se doutent qu'il y a "anguille sous roche" et commencent leur propre enquête... Ce TPB regorge d'action, de suspense et, dans la tradition arachnéenne, de bons mots. Il joue parfaitement avec l'apparence du Tisseur pour le placer, dans sa nouvelle personnalité, en confrontation avec une galerie entière de "villains" liés à la légende du défunt Amazing Spider-Man. Franchement, c'est du grand art de la part de Dan SLOTT (et de son "side-kick" Christos GAGE). Au plan des dessins, c'est "fifty-fifty" : Giuseppe CAMUNCOLI (j'ai du mal avec lui...) pour les trois premiers chapitres, et Humbert RAMOS pour les trois derniers chapitres. Les "extras" sont peu nombreux et tiennent en 4 pages. **** et 1/2 (la demi étoile manquante, "c'est la faute à" CAMUNCOLI)

I bought this because of the 3 issue story ark were Spider-Man who was really doc OCD goes to the raft to witness the execution of the spider slayer these three issues read almost like a horror move people trapped in location check people making dumb decisions check monsters lose in the dark check also a prison break storie and some good character development for johna j Jameson dan slott was really on form when he wrote this the series had some dips in quality later on ps that was supposed to say doc ock

I use to read the amazing spiderman...got tired of reading the same old story over and over again for years and years. THIS SUPERIOR SPIDERMAN got me back into reading comics. I agree with the others, this is a big change and one of the best series ever created. Dock-ock as Spiderman...what a change. Spiderman is reborn....but not as the Peter Parker that we know.

Not worth its price - high price

Este volumen continúa con las (des)aventuras de SpOck(spiderman-docOck) y se concentra más en el siendo más proactivo y brutal con su pelea contra el crimen utilizando tácticas villanescas como una guarida secreta y un monton de secuaces. Vemos apariciones por personajes como Hobgoblin, Kingpin, Scorpio, entre otros que tienen diferentes niveles de importancia para la historia de este volumen y de todo el 'run' de Superior. Este tomo es una muy buena lectura que, claro, necesitas haber leído por lo menos el volumen anterior para entenderlo.
