Today, I post up the first Marvel topic post for The Dc and Marvel Heroes Forum. For this post, the forum topic is Marvel Comics' currently running flagship Spider-Man title The Superior Spider-Man , which centers around former villain Otto Octavius as the current Spider-Man of the main Marvel Universe according to canon Marvel Universe continuity, although Otto manages to use the superhero identity after taking over Peter Parker's body in The Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 1) No. 698. So far, the series have reached issue 4, and still remains a subject of controversy amoung Marvel Comics fans. Anyway, you the readers, are invited to share your thoughts about the comic book series so far, that is if you have been checking it out that is.
As you provide your comments in the comment box attached to this forum post, here are a few questions you my want to think about:
1) Do enjoy the dark-and-edgy content of the series? If not, do you miss the light-hearted tone of earlier Spider-Man comic book stories set in the main Marvel Universe?
2) Do you enjoy seeing Otto Octavius' handling of the Spider-Man identity and look forward to seeing more of Otto as Spidey in the future or do you feel like you need more time to get use to the character being his own Spider-Man, or perhaps you wished someone else was the new Spider-Man after Peter's apparent death in The Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 1) No. 700?
3) What is your attitude towards the rumors that later issues of the series within this year will show Peter Parker trying to fight Otto Octavius to reclaim his body? Do you feel like it's too soon? (I do notice some fans are expecting Peter to came back in his body before the release of 2014's Spider-Man movie, even though none of the Spidey films are canon).
4) What Marvel Universe heroes will you like to see the new Spider-Man team up with and/or battle against in future stories? (can include characters who live in Marvel Universes outside the main Marvelverse, like say Miles Morales for example)
5) Do you find The Superior Spider-Man could use a prime-time/late-night animated T.V. series treatment and/or even an R-rated animated film treatment, even for the sake of ensuring that Spider-Man gets a chance in having an animated version made specially for adult audiences, counting long-time comic book readers?
