Doctor Octopus claims the ultimate victory over Spider-Man. After years of defeats at the wall-crawler's hands, Otto Octavius achieves the unthinkable - putting his mind in the body of Peter Parker. As one Amazing era ends, a new one begins for a smarter, stronger, Superior Spider-Man. And he'll prove it, by donning an upgraded costume - and taking on the all-new Sinister Six. But things aren't so friendly in this Spidey's neighborhood - and his more ruthless approach to crimefighting is cause for concern for his 'fellow' heroes. Will his violent actions mean Spider-Man is an Avenger no more? Featuring classic foes including the Vulture and the Green Goblin, and new friends such as Anna Maria Marconi, this is Spider-Man like you've never seen him before - but whatever happened to the real Peter? Collecting AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1999) #698-700 and SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #1-16. Rated T+
