The Superior Spider-Man: Superior Venom Review



Finished reading Superior Spider-Man: Superior Venom, this continues the story of Doctor Octopus inhabiting Spider-Man's body after escaping his dead one, by writers Dan Slott and Christos Gage. The book opens up with the supernatural villain Blackout kidnapping Peter Parker's Aunt May in the hope to get Peter to compromise Spider-Man's equipment making him vulnerable  and easier for Blackout to defeat him. The next story has Flash Thompson coming back to New York as Agent Venom who is on the trail of the Crime Master with Agent Venom going undercover to stop the Crime Master. Meanwhile Peter Parker is opening is own company, Parker Industries when he hears about Venom's return causing him to go and stop Venom by suiting up as Spider-Man. After the fight Flash goes to met Peter at his apartment where Peter offers to give him his legs back after the procedure worked so well for his Aunt May's damaged leg. During the procedure the Venom symbiote is separated from Flash and attaches itself to Spider-Man dubbing himself the Superior Venom which leads to large conflict with the Avengers when the symbiote becomes to much for Doc Ock to comprehend. The final story deals with the aftermath of the Venom incident as the Avengers call Spider-Man in about his recent out of character behaviour. Overall this was an amazing book as the relationships between each character is mainly the vocal point of the book with Doc Ock taken his relationship with his girlfriend Anna Maria further as she meets with Aunt May which makes the character more sympathetic as Anna Maria seems to bring out the best in Otto. While the side story with the Green Goblin and his underground organisation continues with Goblins plans slowly coming into fruition. 9/10.
