Geekscape Comics: First Art And Details Revealed For ‘The Superior Spider-Man’!

Today we get our first look at The Superior Spider-Man. The relaunched series will be replacing The Amazing Spider-Man after issue #700 hits stands. Whatever happens in that final issue, which is said to be major, will result in a very new and different direction for Peter Parker, that is being described as “a far darker Spider-Man than fans have ever seen.”

Writer Dan Slott commented on the new direction:

“The one thing that does not go with this Spider-Man is the term ‘Friendly neighborhood. I’ve always been the omniscient hand that’s been protecting Peter Parker and Spider-Man, and not letting anything too bad happen to him. And now I’ve become this cruel god. There’s something exciting about that, about going, ‘Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha, here is what’s going to happen to you, Spider-Man!’ And it’s drastic and it’s big and it’s exciting and it’s never been done before.”

Artists Humberto Ramos, Giuseppe Camuncoli, and Ryan Stegman will be taking on art duties for the first three-issue arc, “Hero Or Menace”.
