Superior Spider-Man #20
In "Spidey Still Standing," Otto Octavius—still trapped in Spider-Man's body—faces a storm of personal and professional upheaval as he confronts Felicia on a Manhattan rooftop, then grapples with the weight of his past when Peter Parker’s life begins to unravel in his absence. Written by Dan Slott and brought to life by Giuseppe Camuncoli’s dynamic art and John Dell’s sharp inks, the issue explores identity, legacy, and the cost of redemption, all while Carlie’s warning to MJ hints at a deeper danger lurking in the shadows. The cover by Camuncoli and Dell captures the tension perfectly, a moment of defiance frozen in ink and shadow.
