Superior Spider-Man Team-Up: Versus Review

Finished reading Superior Spider-Man Team-Up: Versus this showcases a few stories of the Superior Spider-Man teaming up with other heroes in the Marvel universe. The book opens up with Spider-Man fighting most of the heroes in New York, which comes to the attention of Captain America as he calls the Avengers in order to stop Spider-Man. With the Avengers assembled the villainous Carrion revels himself as the reason for Spider-Man fighting the various heroes as Carrion can possess anyone he comes into contact with including Avengers member Hyperion. The next story crossovers with the Scarlet Spider series as Kaine meets up with Peter while in New York only for a fight to break out as Doc Ock remembers Kaine killing him and seeks vengeance. The fight is interrupted when the Jackal and his army of Man-Spider's kidnap both Spider-Man and Kaine in order to extract their DNA so he can have an army of Spider-Clones to takeover the world. The final story is set during the events of Infinity as Spider-Man and the newly assembled Mighty Avengers are fighting Thanos' army in New York when the Terrigen Mist travels throughout the city thanks to the destruction of the Inhumans home Attilan as it turns people into Inhumans including student Sylvia Prell who becomes a being of pure electricity, which gains the attention of Spider-Man prompting him to use her to defeat the remaining forces of Thanos. Overall the was a good book as it played with Doctor Octopus being Spider-Man and how he interacts with other heroes. The Scarlet Spider crossover uses this to its advantage as its the first time Kaine has met Spider-Man since Doc Ock taking over his body creating a new dynamic between the two characters. 7/10.
