The Amazing Spider-Man: Dying Wish by Dan Slott

4.0

So all the Big Time leads to this. Does it pay off? I fucking THINK SO!

Okay this doesn't forgive the weakness Big Time had but this my friends is how you wrap up a run and get excited for the next.

The opening issue has Peter really happy and upbeat. He even tells MJ they need to get back together. Then he gets a notice from the Avengers that Otto is asking for him. So he goes to visit him at prison and you find out...PETER AND OTTO MIND IS SWITCHED!!! So you expect the cliche Peter figuring out a way to get back into his own body but nope...as you know superior spider-man is all about otto becoming spider-man but with a twist...he has all the feelings, emotions, and memories of Peter Parker!

Good: Villains are Dan's strengths and damn it, Otto is scary here. Smart as Peter, they go head to head on planning and trying to outsmart each other. The ending is both touching, emotional, and heartbreaking yet gets you hyped for what's next. The art is very solid as well with some great action moments. The stakes feel high at all times and it's a exciting 3 issues (last one being 90+ pages)

Bad: MJ not thinking something is wrong is odd...also the villains helping Otto was kind of out of nowhere. I mean I know why, but it's like those guys broke Otto (well Peter in Otto body) should have been stopped by Avengers right away. Just way to odd.

Overall this was a great volume. Really just non-stop action and a nice farewell to a character we've known years. Now I can finally jump into superior and I'm so f'ing ready!
