In Brief: Superior Spider-man, written by Dan Slott and illustrated by Ryan Stegman, takes Spidey in new directions with a bold narrative twist. Volume 1, ‘My Own Worst Enemy’, and Volume 2, ‘A Troubled Mind’, collect the first 10 issues of this ongoing series. Books like this one continue to show that Marvel is more than a marketing arm – they still produce great comics stories.
Pros: Slott picks up from the historic events Amazing Spider-Man #700 and continue with strong storytelling involving major changes to Spider-man and his world. It’s a much different kind of story, but that makes it no less effective. Stegman’s panel work and ability with the action and staging are first rate.
Cons: Well, this is a major shift. It certainly has the potential to put long-time Spider-man fans, especially if you haven’t been keeping up with the comic books. You just have to give it a chance.
