The Superior Spider-Man, Vol. 5: The Superior Venom by Dan Slott

4.0

As much as I enjoy this Octavius story line it is time for it to come to a close. I think they have gotten all that they can out of the premise and it is time to move on and give Parker his body back. Still this comic continues to be entertaining and well produced. I highly enjoyed seeing SpideyOCK on symbiote and seeing practically nothing of Miguel O'Hara. However, I really could care less about the growing 'Goblin problem' so something tells me I might not enjoy the next volume...[b:The Superior Spider-Man, Vol. 6: Goblin Nation|19539416|The Superior Spider-Man, Vol. 6 Goblin Nation|Dan Slott|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1403183148s/19539416.jpg|27665963], we shall see.

One thing that really bothered me was Aunt May's treatment of Anna Maria she really came across as quite the bitch. If they wanted tension and a chance for Ock to get mad they could have gone another route beyond Aunt May being height insensitive.



This volume closes out with the Spider-man annual which was a high point, I loved the change up in the art department and was fascinated with how Ock handled Aunt May being kidnapped by Blackout.
