I wonder if it will touch on his return to being the Superior Spider-man?

LOL I love it. I love how even when Ock wants to be a good guy he still can't shake some of those classic supervillain tropes, in this case, enlisting henchmen. Dock Ock is such the classic black and white mustache twirling villain mad scientist that the whole Superior Spider-Man plot wouldn't have worked out better with any other villain.

Man, Doc Ock just makes you want to punch him in the face .

Indeed, I simply adore caustic Otto. He is the anti-hero you love to hate.

I just wish they would keep him as Superior Octopus (I greatly prefer the look and more unique tech), but oh well..

Great preview.
Never heard of the Digger but the Brothers Grimm being in the preview is way cool.For some reason the Brothers Grimm never apeared much in the stories,but i think they can be cool villains.
And i think the start of the story is quite intriguing.This looks like will be a cool comic book.

If I recall right, Digger is from a Spider-Man story back in the early 2000s during the JMS era. Might've been in Amazing, might've been in one of the "side comics" concurrently published with Amazing, but that's where he came from, more or less.

Thank you for the info.
Now that you mention it i remember there was a villain in the JMS era that was called Digger.
I will have to re-read the JMS era in Amazing Spider-Man again.

You're welcome. It's a pretty good era to revisit, barring some of the stuff that happened in the latter portion of it.

I have mixed feelings about the JMS era.
The stories and dialogs were really well writen.Peter Parker and Mary Jane were writen as a really interesting couple to read about but the Totem mystical conections to the Spider-Man origin or the stories just having new villains was disapointing to me.
Either way it have been to long since i read the JMS era in ASM and i will be re-Reading the stories again.

Totally agree. I enjoyed Slott's over the top voice for Otto, but Yost and Gage both capture the egomania of Otto while still keeping his dialogue realistic, which is probably better for an ongoing solo.

Otto's personality plus the use of some fun, obscure villains make this a likely buy for me as a monthly.

So stoked for this one-shot and the ongoing to follow. Love that Ock's bizarre career as a superhero isn't over yet.

Good description. I've always felt Christopher Yost wrote Superior Spider-Man better than anybody.

Same here. Big fan of the Superior Spider-Man. My Funko Pop of the character is sat opposite me.

it's not a deal breaker. but I wish that someone like Ramos was doing the art chores on this one. the art isn't grabbing me. and the Night Shift could really use a visual update.

If Spock is popular enough then I suppose they will make him a clone while the real Otto was hiding out and cooking up a master plan.
