Superior Spider-Man #4 Review

3 / 5

This issue is the beginning of a new arc, this time revolving around Massacre. He's escaped from Ravencroft once again, but adding the Doc Ock twist to the situation has changed the standard approach. There's not much more to say about the issue without revealing plot points, but it's fair to say it was a decent issue. At this point I'll be interested to see if this series can keep the little momentum it gained with issue 3. 

At this point I can say that some of the ideas have been fun to see through. Doc Ock's robotic spiders that patrol New York for him have been an interesting addition to Spider-Man's arsenal. It's almost like having a Batman version of Spider-Man. This series is only going to work so long as it continues to explore the differences between what Peter and Octavius would do in certain situations, with some kind of progress on Octavius's part as the series continues. I'm still skeptical about how good this will remain. Hopefully this arc will stay strong.
