If you’re expecting some answers about how Doc Ock gets inside a Spider-Man body–and who knows if that’ll even happen at this point–you may feel disappointed. Gage manages to integrate key supporting characters from the previous era, which ends up making the issue like a lost story we would have gotten anyway. If you enjoyed how Doc Ock speaks, you’ll love this issue. Much of this issue is an origin story and likely the new threat for Superior Spider-Man to take on when the series relaunches. This cleverly plays a part in the main story, which features Spider-Man building something he’s wanted to make since the Stan Lee days of the character. The flashback starts with Slyde, a villain who can’t be touched by anything as it slides right off him. That allows Gage to play with Doc Ock’s language, like calling people dolts or stealing good ideas and acting like they were his own. Most of this issue is a crucial flashback to when Doc Ock was the Superior Spider-Man. With this character’s return coming in a few months, this is a prime spot to start if you don’t want to reread the classic by Slott and Stegman. We not only get the full rundown of his origin as Doc Ock but also how he got inside Peter’s body, what happened next, and how specific events tie into the story of this issue. The issue is a good primer for anyone unfamiliar with this version of Doc Ock/Spidey, with a good recap in the first few pages, as told by Doc Ock via captions. Superior Spider-Man Returnsis written by Christos Gage (with a story by Dan Slott), which is fitting since he’s the last writer to take on the character over three years ago. If you’ve been craving an egomaniacal Spider-Man, get hype: he returns in full force this week. Throw in writer Dan Slott, promising it won’t involve clones or time travel, and I’m all for it. When Superior Spider-Man Returns was announced, I couldn’t be happier. It was bold and incredibly risky to throw Peter into the background for so long. I loved the idea of Doc Ock taking over Peter Parker’s body and mind from the very start. I’m a bonafide Superior Spider-Man super-fan.
