When we entered the “Superior” era last year, one thing I thought would be explored with a bit more frequency is the idea that Peter Parker and Otto Octavius are two very similar characters that inevitably took divergent paths from each other as hero and villain thanks to one

On the final pages in the final issue of the five-part Marvel Knights Spider-Man miniseries, a battle-weary Peter is reminded of a story Uncle Ben told him about a summer where he worked a tedious, laborious job in order to earn enough money to buy Aunt May an engagement

I’ve made no bones about the fact that I thought the Spider-Man team-up series du jour needed to move on from Chris Yost and find a new voice, and Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #9 does just that by kicking off the Kevin Shinick era on the book (which I anticipate

The internet is traditionally a hornet’s nest of negativity, especially as it pertains to comic books, so I make a point of always trying to be open-minded and positive when I write about a Spider-Man issue on this site. But there’s something about the Inhumanity: Superior Spider-Man one-shot that

I think I’m losing patience with the Marvel Knights Spider-Man miniseries. I say, “think,” because I’m not entirely sure. When reading Marvel Knights Spider-Man #4, there were moments of such stunningly awful characterization, I was absolutely certain that there was no way I was reading a Spider-Man comic, just

I’ve been awfully critical of the last few issues of Superior Spider-Man Team-Up, as I’ve found the series has had its struggles finding its voice within the larger Spider-verse of titles. Is it meant to be an addendum to Dan Slott’s larger Superior Spider-Man story, or its own unique

When it comes to the Superior Spider-Man Team-Up series, I remain a critical outlier. The series has done very little to engage me since it officially transitioned from Avenging Spider-Man to Team-Up, and the most recent “Superior Six” storyline strikes me as a creative low point for the title.

Two issues in and I’m still hard-pressed to say with any confidence what my overall impressions are of the Matt Kindt/Marco Rudy Marvel Knights Spider-Man collaboration. After a trippy, psychedelic opening issue, a part of me was wondering/hoping that the second installment would settle into a more traditional narrative
