Superior Spider-Man #1
"Hero or Menace?" kicks off a bold new era in the Spider-Verse, as Otto Octavius—now in Peter Parker’s body—grapples with his identity while a rampaging Massacre escapes Ravencroft and begins a deadly spree. Written by Dan Slott and brought to life by Giuseppe Camuncoli’s sharp, dynamic art, the issue sets a tense tone as Otto confronts his own limitations, even as he tries to fix Peter’s lack of a doctorate with a surprisingly personal mission. The cover by Ryan Stegman captures the chaos with a striking, high-stakes image.
