    Default Marvel Announces 'Superior Spider-Man'

    The Superior Spider-Man is swinging back into action from Marvel Comics this December.

    Marvel has revealed that Doctor Otto Octavius will return to his former persona in a new Superior Spider-Man series. The series is written by Christos Gage with art by Mike Hawthorne.

    Out of all the Robins, Jason Todd is my favourite

    Otto Octavius leaves the moniker of Doctor Octopus behind and once again becomes THE SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN! If you think you’ve already read the most intense and surprisingly heartbreaking Superior Spider-Man story, prepare to be wrong. Otto is going to prove to the world that he’s the most effective and (to him at least) the best super hero in the world. But when a villain that overpowers him by so much shows up in San Francisco, there’s no way Ock can win, right? Can you see Otto smirking from where you’re reading this?

    Looks like we were right about Gage writing an Otto ongoing, very excited to see where this goes.

    I guess Marvel figured "Superior Spider-Man" would sell better then "Superior Octopus," although I'm curious how this will sell compared to other Spider-Titles, especially when the book isn't the main Spider-Man comic anymore.

    Personally I'm not really all that interested in this. I'm kind of done with them trying to push Ock as any kind of hero, and I'm almost at my peak with Doc Ock at this point.

    Ah well, I'm just counting away until they inevitably make him Dr. Octopus again (because it's going to happen) .

    Yea just like with Magneto and Doom it’s inevitable but now that he’s not interfering with Peter, I can enjoy the ride while it lasts (my money’s on him reverting to Doc Ock when the book concludes as seems to be the tradition these days).

    Anna-Maria has been in limbo for ages now, and she's a fairly popular character that you don't want to see wasted just because there's no room for her in Peter's world what with MJ being back in it acting as the confidant.

    It's obvious she and the Horizon gang will be supporting cast in this. ASM #800 set it up.

    YEEEEESSSS!! So pumped!

    And I'm glad he's going by Superior Spider-Man. "Superior Octopus" just doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well.

    I wouldn't be surprised. I expect Gage will be following up on a lot from Slott's run.

    Well, of course not, it's not alliterative .

    Although I think it's more honest as a title .

    I always felt Gage wrote a much more sympathetic Otto than Slott did during the Superior era, so I'll check this out. And since it's running concurrently with TAS-M I can enjoy both.

    You know, it’s kinda funny at this point, we’c Gotten an announcement for Riri’s new solo, Jessica Jones has gotten her new solo and now SpOck is back yet we still haven’t gotten an announcement for Miles despite him being on the Fresh Start promo.

    They're probably waiting for the movie.
