Between Infamous Iron Man and Superior Spider-man which has the better story?

[Somecrazyaussie]

Superior Spider-man has the better setup and execution. For me, it just read better.

SSM! Infamous appears to be a bad and boring attempt to mimic Superior.
I would, however put Superior Iron Man on equal grounds.

Have you even read Infamous?
Because aside from having former villains as main characters they have nothing in common.

Υes, mr Smartmouth, i did. I just finished the fourth issue where Victor confronts his mother.
And you seem to be forgetting that Tony Stark appears as an artificial intellingence hologram in almost the same fashion as Ghost Peter did.

Infamous Iron man and Superior Spider-man work with the same concept of a villain assuming the mantle of a hero but both play out differently. Beyond the same basic idea they are nothing alike. I'm not sure where you're getting the similarity from beyond the base idea as these are by no means identical books, and an A.I Tony Stark has been a thing long before Ghost Peter happened so I don't know where this is coming from.

"Superior Spider-Man" is (pun intended) superior. The base concept of a bad guy trying to be the good guy is similar. But, Superior did a better job with it. If nothing else, Bendis has never been a high-concept guy.

Guys... Did you catch the ''ATTEMPT TO MIMIC'' part?
With that word i state that it tries but not succeeding.
In any other case i would type ''it mimics Superior in a bad way'' or ''it fails to mimic Superior''.

A little defensive.
It doesn't really attempt anything to emulate Superior Spider-man since while it works with a similar concept, the books in comparison are not the same thing. Both of them have reformed villains as leads but it's unlikely Bendis is trying to emulate Superior Spider-man since the story beats, pacing, tone, and scale are too different to be anything worth comparing the two. Comparisons are largely superficial and is only noteworthy since both occurred within a few years of each other (and Superior's story is still continuing under Superior Octopus).

I did notice what you wrote, that's why I replied. Though to some degree I would agree that Infamous Iron man fails to mimic Superior Spider-man, since it isn't trying to be Superior Spider-man. The attempt is to be it's own thing but I wouldn't say that Superior Spider-man is a catch-all for all reformed villain titles to be the baseline comparison.
