The Superior Spider-Man, Vol. 1: My Own Worst Enemy by Dan Slott
4.0
I was skeptical at first, very skeptical, a story were Spiderman is really Doc Ock who is being followed around by a ghostly Peter Parker who only the reader can see/hear sounds a bit sketchy but I was pleasantly surprised. This book picks up after Doc Ock has been killed but before dying he switches minds with Spiderman leaving Parker’s mind with the Otto corpse. The body of Peter Parker is now controlled by a reformed Doc Ock who also retains all of Parker's memories as well as his own…? That little tidbit had me scratching my head but I suppose it was necessary for the story to progress.
Either way this was an enjoyable read, so far I have loved absolutely everything Dan Slott has written and this is no expection. The stories are thrilling and exciting and thought provoking and fun. At first I was upset because who wants to read a Spiderman comic without Spiderman in it but the inclusion of a weird specter providing commentary lets the reader still maintain a connection with Spidey.
