Superior Spider-Man #1 Spoiler - You-Know-Who Might Not Be Dead After All

A while back, I got a little too drunk and posted spoilers for Amazing Spider-Man #700, which had been prematurely leaked in ways that would get most men fired from a porn set. It triggered the biggest comment/flame war on my blog since its inception. I’ve made so blatantly offensive remarks about men, women, animals, politicians, America, Japan, and teenagers yet the outcome of one comic triggers more outrage. Maybe I’m just not an overly offensive drunk or maybe I just need to channel my inner Rob Parker more.

The underThe underlying source of the outrage was pretty understandable. Dan Slott, after supplying a steady stream of awesome on Amazing Spider-Man, apparently pissed it all away when he swapped Peter Parker’s mind with Otto Octavious and apparently killed Peter Parker while in Doc Ock’s body in Amazing Spider-Man #700. That leaves Doc Ock free to enjoy Peter’s youth and shack up with Mary Jane. It’s as epic a win as any villain has ever accomplished in the comics.lying source of the outrage was pretty understandable.

  While I could list no fewer than 928,209,056,015 ways why that’s fucked up, it may not be as clear cut as us temperamental comic book fans may think. Today, Marvel released Superior Spider-Man #1, a book that promises to tell the story of how Doc Ock turns Spider-Man into a flaming douche-bag while shitting all over Peter Parker’s life. But in a major spoiler leaked by our good friends at Bleeding Cool, it looks like Peter might not be as dead as we think. I’m not high enough right now to articulate it so I’ll let the spoilers speak for themselves.

So Peter Parker is now a ghost, a glorified Jimminey Cricket that keeps Doc Ock from fucking up his life too much. He still doesn't get to bone Mary Jane though so I'm not sure how glorified it really is. Never-the-less, it seems to indicate that Peter isn't entirely gone and hasn't been replaced by a token minority either. So he might actually play a role in this series. Is it enough to satisfy angry Spider-Man fans? I doubt it, but I also doubt Marvel gives three eights of a shit so long as they buy the comic. Nuff said!

  1. Just read it. So pleased to see Peter will find a way back. Not that we didn't know he would.

    Guess Marvel used the old Classic/New Coke trick on us.

  2. I wouldn't say it's as bad as New Coke. I would just say they're carefully playing with the emotions of fans and laughing their ass off all the way to the bank.
