It's the start of a new era for the man who everyone believes is their favorite web-crawler. The Superior Spider-Man makes his debut fighting a new incarnation of the Sinister Six, and soon, his new attitude comes to the surface. The issue mostly focuses on the intellectual aspect of the character, and how it will help him in his mission to become indeed a superior version of the man (men?) he used to be.

While the tone of the story reflects the angry and resentful personality of Otto Octavius, the playful and almost comedic presence of the original Spidey is felt throughout the book, not just in the plot, but also the art. Speaking of, rising super star Ryan Stegman brings his "A" game to the title; although I prefer his work in the first issues of Scarlet Spider, it is undeniable that the amount of detail in his panels is exquisite. Those who are still uneasy about how things ended in ASM #700, will feel much relief and understand the journey that here begins after reading the last page of this issue.
