The Superior Foes of Spider-Man: Game Over Review



Finished reading The Superior Foes of Spider-Man: Game Over, this concludes writer Nick Spencer's story of Boomerang's Sinister Six that has been the main staple of the series. The book opens up with Overdrive and Beetle along with a bus full of school children meeting back up with Boomerang. After seeing the three of them the Owl comes to them with a job offer to retrieve the painting of an unmasked Dr Doom from the Chameleon along with the help of many villains from the Villains Anonymous support group to assist Boomerang's team. As this is happening Hammerhead and the Maggia confront Shocker at his apartment after discovering that Shocker has the head of the former Maggia boss Silvermane in his possession as Hammerhead plans on retrieving it. After being able to escape from Hammerhead Shocker arrives at one of Boomerang's safe houses were he notices the rest if the Sinister Six and attacks Boomerang because he pushed Shocker of a bridge in the boot of a car earlier in the series. Overall this was an amazing book as it concluded the series on a high note while wrapping up each story of the Sinister Six and their supporting cast very well. The story of how Beetle and Overdrive got the school bus is a funny little side story that includes a lot of great visual comedy moments which the series has been known for and continues to use throughout which is brought to life by the great art team. While the reveal of how Boomerang is narrating the story is great especially with him trying to end the story his way only to be stopped by a surprise character. 9/10.
