    Default Superior Spider-Man question

    My local comic shop has the run of 33 Superior Spiderman issues and the Superior Spiderman team up issues. I want to get them as I want to read some of the newer stuff. Yes i know it is several years old but it will be the newest thing I have read. Is Superior Spiderman a good series? Is there anything I need to know leading up to it?
    Thanks in advance for all the help.

    Superior Spider-Man is a very good series! Would highly recommend it. As for what you need to know, I would pick up ASM #698-700 as well!

    SSM is basically the Spider-Man equivalent to the New Testament IMHO.

    Very well.

    If you'll permit a contrarian point of view....Superior is a far worse story than OMD and OMIT. It's nothing but crude, cynical, edge lord fodder that diminishes Peter, and makes idiots out of the entire supporting cast.

    Just read Amazing Spiderman 698-700. I really enjoyed these issues. Though I was hoping the brain switch would have been more of a production. One panel and it was over. I am looking forward to reading Superior Spiderman to see how it all plays out.

    Thanks for the update. I envy you I wish I could read this epic story again for the first time.

    I judt finished the 33 issues. I have to say that I loved it. I cant remember when I have enjoyed a comic more. A couple of questions. When did Spiderman and Spiderman 2099 first meet? Now that Superior Spiderman is over does the tittle go back to Amazing Spiderman?

    Highly recommend it! Very engaging and strikes a nice balance of character work and plotting. The interactions between Otto and the Marvel universe are fantastic. You never really LIKE Otto, but you do root for him... and I did kind of end up liking him despite his best efforts, honestly.

    You don't need a ton of pre-knowledge. If you are familiar with Peter and Otto, you're good to go. Slott foreshadowed the whole thing for over a hundred issues, and if you read the whole run (which I recommend, I really liked Slott on Spidey) you will get more out of it, but it's not necessary to enjoy Superior and it's tie ins.

    Put it this way. If it wasn't popular, the current Superior Spider-Man series wouldn't exist!

    It's excellent. It may depend on whether you think it could be fun to read stories about Spider-Man's powers in the wrong hands.
    Sincerely,

    Superior is easily one of the best Spider-Man stories of the last thirty years, IMO. It is what got me back into collecting Spider-Man comic books post-OMD. I have so much respect for what Slott accomplished I have vowed never to write the same exact take on Superior as he wrote in any fanfic I publish. I feel I can never improve upon the concept unless I give it a unique twist which alters the dynamic significantly (which I'm presently doing in my story "Another Strand in the Great Web" https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1281972...-The-Great-Web ).

    PS My current avatar is even inspired by the arc. The Spider-Man in my avatar is wearing a color swapped (with Superior Octopus) version of Otto's anti-hero costume while he *ahem* enjoys Black Cat's company.

    A must read. If you want the best writer of the character, seek out Christopher Yost's Avenging Spider-Man and Superior Spider-Man Team-up as well.
