It's an all-new era of web-slinging excitement, and it all starts NOW! COLLECTING: Superior Spider-Man 1-5 Review: Truly, a Superior Choice! - This volume collects issues 1-5 of the Marvel Now! relaunch series. Peter Parker is dead. No he is not. His body is alive, but his mind is missing, stolen, and it is inhibited by none other than one of his most relentless foes, Otto Octavius, Dr. Octopus. The dying Otto managed to pull a mind switch with everybody's favorite wall crawler and left poor Parker to perish in the mad scientist's body. This happened in the previous series Amazing Spider-Man which ran an amazing 700 issues. Not only does Otto get Peter's body but he also gets his memories and great desire to do good. With great power and responsibility...er...something....something. This series shows Otto not intent on following his old life of crime and supervillainy but to strive to be a better superior Spider-man! (hence the title of the series). He also plans to be a superior Peter Parker! Look out! As mainly a DC reader, I found this a perfect opportunity to try out a run of Spider-Man, as I have always loved the character despite my lifelong arachnophobia. And wow, what a great jumping on point! I love what Dan Slott is doing here. I am sure that there is plenty of build up and nice plot points that are brought up again by going back and reading up on Slott's run on Amazing Spider-Man, but I feel comfortable starting here and taking the ride and figuring it all out as I go along. J. Jonah Jameson is the Mayor!!! What!!?? Haha As for this actual collection, the first issue starts a tad slow and dull as the new hero shows off to the reader why he is better suited for this than Peter every was. Otto is out to stop a an up and coming Sinister Six that pays no tribute to Otto's days of running with his version of the infamous Spidey gang. He proves to be a great tactician with a very analytical mind. He is also a very vicious Spider-Man in that he is willing to cross the line leading to a very shocking conclusion. The rest of the collection shows Spider-Man/Peter's interactions with his co-workers, girlfriend Mary Jane Watson, her roommate Carla, a really good detective that detects something off about this webslinger, Mayor J.J.J., and other foes and friends. The final two issues deal with this new Spider-Man chasing a serial killing madman called Massacre. This puts all of Otto and Peter's strengths and weakness to the test. The artists of this series are great. Issues 1-3 are done by Ryan Stegman, who has a very spunky expressive style that really gives the book some pop. Issues 4 and 5 are done by Giuseppe Camuncoli who has a similar flare but with a more lean refined style. Great story complemented by great art. This is a wild good time for Spider-Man. I admire the big risk Dan Slott and Marvel are taking here in continuing on with someone as Spider-Man who not only is not Peter Parker, but one of his top villains!!! Yes, it can always be switched but this seems to be a little long term for now and will be explored in interesting ways. Cannot wait for more. Review: Spiderman for Batman fans! (or for anyone who loves great characterization and story) - This is a must read for anyone who has always liked Spiderman, but never loved him. I appreciate the original Spiderman, and this concept wouldn't work unless the original character was good. However, this takes everything to the next level. Keep in mind, it isn't particularly "realistic" or anything, it has an 'Elseworlds' feel to it for sure. Which is fun in my opinion. In this volume you are introduced to the new Spiderman, with very little explanation... But it doesn't really matter, you just have to accept the concept and roll with it. If you do...you will be rewarded with great story, great characterization, and great art all in one. The story has multiple layers because the character is kind of two-in-one. You'll find yourself rooting for the villain and the hero at the same time...because Superior Spiderman is a bit of both. If you always liked Spiderman, but love Batman...then this is a character you need to meet. Superior Spiderman has several similarities to Batman...in a good way. I have only read this volume and the next one is very high on my priorities list...right along with Batman, Saga, etc. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,361,481 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,320 in Marvel Comics & Graphic Novels (Books) #8,120 in Superhero Comics & Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 584 Reviews | ## Images ![Superior Spider-Man, Vol. 1: My Own Worst Enemy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yGGtVZV4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly, a Superior Choice! *by S***T on June 23, 2013* This volume collects issues 1-5 of the Marvel Now! relaunch series.

Seeing him take over as Spider-man comes off as original and is entertaining as a long time fan of the comic. It is written well and the art is fine. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2266593-superior-spider-man-vol-1-my-own-worst-enemy](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2266593-superior-spider-man-vol-1-my-own-worst-enemy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-05*
