Superior Spider-Man #3 Review

Superior Spider-Man #3 Review


    

4 / 5

Issue #3 is a marked improvement over the 2nd issue. This is the first time the series has actually explored some of the issues of Doc Ock playing the part of Spider-Man. The issue starts off on a low point with the writers trying to take silly jabs at Batman. What follows are two major plot lines for the issue - one involving Peter being able to explore Doc Ock's memories and another in which Doc Ock faces off against the vulture. The cool thing about the encounter with the vulture is that Doc Ock uses his knowledge and personal history with the vulture to consider a new way of ending the Vulture's crime spree. For the first time we see a good reason to have have this split personality storyline, at least as far as exploring the villains is concerned. Shortly into the encounter we also see Doc Ock's past catch up with him, forcing him to be his own version of Spider-Man. It's an entertaining encounter and I hope to see more like this from the series.
