This week was a slow comic week for sure. Yes, Marvel's
Battle of the Atom wrapped up, though it did so with much more of a whimper than a bang. DC's pickings were as light as ever, and my Dark Horse, IDW, and Image reads are all monthly books, unfortunately. So, for better or worse, this week's pick is Marvel's
Superior Spider-man #20.

Now,
GFWP has not been in action long enough for me to voice my endless rage against Dan Slott's run with Spidey. I've felt since the beginning that the whole story-line leading to Doctor Octopus taking over Peter Parker's body was a betrayal of the character of momentous proportions. And, yes, I know that this is effectively not Spider-man. Instead, it's somebody running around in his skin suit.
Even so, I want Peter Parker back as he should be, as Spider-man should be. This week's
Superior Spidey shows that we may be on our way to getting there. In a series of mishaps that range from betraying the real Spider-man's friends to Doc-Ock-Parker-Whomever being revealed as an intellectual thief, the web --pun intended-- is unraveling.
If you're like me and you've been hoping for the wrap up of the enraging experiment that is
Superior Spider-man, then #20 might just be the book you're looking for.
Have you been following Dan Slott's run on Superior Spidey? What are your thoughts?
