It was a decent proper fight. No way Ock could just muscle his way through. He had to use a lot of brain. Visiting old tech from other villains to overcome Terrax.
Instead of a spoiler. Go read it man issue 2-3 of 2019 Superior Spider-man. Its awesome.

Thanks. I’ll see if my comic shop has them.
[QUOTE=Orbus;4912065]Yes. Love Web of Death. Great character stuff from JM DeMetteis.
If Gage had simply left Otto as Superior Spider-Man and ended his run with him still in that persona I'm certain Marvel would have reverted him back to normal at some point. Doctor Octopus is way too much of an important character to the mythos to leave him as a satellite Spider-Man spin off character.[/QUOTE]
I think Tom Defalco wrote half of the Web of Death issues also; and yeah -- I loved the portrayal of Otto in those. The comparison to Magneto or Doom seems fitting: a deadly enemy who has gained respect for his adversary to the point of almost being friendly -- that's the Otto I think could really work in future stories, much more so than the two-dimensional megalomaniac.
As for how the SSM run and character ended -- we all know how comics work, but I choose not to be jaded by the reality. "Nothing gold can stay" and all that, y'know? And in fact, compared with his first resurrection after the Clone Saga, I think this one is hands down way better, because at least the door has been left open for Otto's character growth to remain if future writers want to explore it.
-Pav, who thinks the Slott era of Spidey writers wrote some of the best Doc Ock stories ever...
Absolutely terrible... I legit hate Marvel's BS character regression

I agree. The two volumes of Superior and everything in-between was the most growth the character had since the clone saga and web of death.

I'm with you. :mad: :(
funny thing is that he hasnt been used since his revert

Surprise, surprise, I'm shocked, shocked I tell ya. ;)
I hated it, but some side of me wanted to say that it's okay. I hated it because I love what Slott did to him, and then Gage is killing it with Superior Spider-Man. But I knew that Gage wanted a tragedy, and the tragedy is Otto needs to forego his heroic to become a hero. That thing is simple, and I loved it as a Kamen Rider's fan. But some part of me hated it because look at all the parts that they gave him as development and then they flushed it down to the toilet. So yeah I have mix feeling about it.

I can agree with that assessment, and as a Kamen Rider fan myself, is that where your icon comes from?

Yup, it's from the recent series, Kamen Rider Zero-One.
