Poor Peter Parker! The most famous super heroes of Marvel til eventually suffer some day? Poorly rebooted cinema, infantilized after One More Day, cloned in the 90s, murdered in Ultimate universe and now reduced to the state of ghost! Who Framed spider?
Superior Spiderman begins just after the death of Peter Parker. This one has been the victim dune slack operation of Body Snatching. This is to say that it occupies the body of a dying enemy while this one (Otto Ottavius) now lives in the vigorous body of our hero.
While Peter dies in the skin of a villain no one to cry, Octavius began a superhero career keeping in mind to outperform in all areas the original Spider-man (hence the title).
Wow! Dan Slott really wrote it, all alone in a year? And Marvel has given the green light? And Bendis is not come to ruin everything?
This is not the first time quun superhero villain occupies the post. In fact, Peter Parker might even sue for multiple theft didentité! Venom course but Kraven, Ben Reilly and Kaine also donned Peter canvases spears in their time.
But the scandal of the clone saga wasnt replace Peter, but to substitute Ben Reilly, who had exactly the same personality!
Purists will also remember that in the 90s, during the saga Identity Crisis (idiot and justly forgotten), Parker blurred tracks meanwhile assuming the identity of four vigilantes!
In this, therefore, the treatment of Dan Slott has nothing doriginal. It s for Avida Dollares publisher can sell a hero with 700 episodes and 50 meter dexistence.
What is new is the handling of the case. Uncompromising, deeply innovative, constantly finding the right balance between respect for the character and mockery lencontre has its mythology. A funny detail: the initials of our hero? SM! As if the masochistic suffering Parker was inscribed in his DNA! For the most part the legendary bad luck of our hero is his doing!
And it is this version that readers prefer: Peter Parker is a loser, a type fundamentally honest, kind, overwhelmed by the responsibilities that prefer to suffer and sink into lauto pity rather than hurt each other.
Our hero is deeply neurotic, so ill at ease that it becomes its own enemy. Clone, symbiote, possession, Peter Parker nen endlessly fight against himself.
When a megalomaniac scientist slips into his skin, he is obliged to make the observation that Peter despite his physical powers and uncommon intelligence has wasted his life by the moral barriers that it has been essential! Octopus finds, and this is irrefutable, that Parker is a genius who has not finished his studies, a son to dad who has neglected his old aunt to the Zouave, and a hero who went straight into battle unprepared!
Parker is he suicidal? Because the methods used by Octavius are common sense. He leaves petty theft to the police to focus on major threats. It works hand in hand with the press, the media and the New York authorities not to go alone in the pipe breaks and deploys communication treasures his efforts were recognized by the populace.
He developed a lot of gadgets including surveillance cameras throughout the city that keep it unnecessary patrols. Octavius that gains in efficiency comes at the expense of individual freedoms of citizens it claims to protect. He undertook to give to Peter Parker his scientific doctorate.
It therefore becomes the right arm of New York mayor (JJ Jameson!), Sets up a business for patented technology developed for Spider Man and now employs a dozen employees!
Slott shows there or clever, this is by constantly playing on what unites and separates these two men. Both are inhabited by lobsession of justice. But if Peter was suffering from an obsession binds the responsibility and acted selflessly, Otto concern for efficiency and results primarily serving his ego. And if it actually shows Spider Man superior in all his actions end up surprising then interrogate his friends as his opponents.
The new Spider man is arrogant, violent, he does not hesitate to kill, torture, harass! Cold, methodical, calculating, it is also not devoid of compassion and qualities. Octavius Slott described as a working man, inhabited by his idea of justice, able dobtenir the respect of his peers and even love of a lovely secondary character that illuminates each scene or it appears Anna Maria Marconni.
Slott Dont forget that the reputation of Marvel sest built on the double side Super Heros / social commentary. He thus depicts a young woman with dwarfism whose difference will move our villain who falls in love with the reader of this intelligent and energetic woman.
If I had to remember that a scene of this whole saga, this would be one where Aunt May asks Anna if she would be able to give birth to normal children!
And Peter / Octavius dinvectiver violently the strongest of the old Marvel Universe! Parker engueulant aunt! The ever read!
Very soon the reader is struck by the brilliant narration or each episode brings a new stone built lédifice that Slott: LAscension and fall of a man whose lintelligence ends up alienating those around him and making his opponents more dangerous than ever.
The fights are actually quite high but quite pleasurable because of the constant drama of the series. The drawings of Camuncoli and Ramos, young, dynamic and manga culture borrowings strengthen against all odds irreverent side of the business.
Unlike the clone saga had actually contemplated déjecter Peter Parker cast, Slott multiplies indices asking his patient BE drive before returning to see our hero.
Slott Will there be a free hand to go to the end of its history? Quà do we feel that if it was holding him, he would get rid of the double identity Spidey / Peter. But this has already been done and cleared by Marvel miserably before. Across the Atlantic, read the angry letters to the more conservative fans calling for the return to the status quo.
One of them even directly Slott invective, saying: "Spiderman not tappartient It belongs to his readers"!
The Wikipedia page even mention death threats against him, which proves an IQ worthy dune oyster, because it is impossible not to see in the deconstruction of the character, a song of love Spider-Man and its values with perverts Slott to better enhance the enjoyment.
What does it remain this absolutely brilliant run and how Parker til resume control of his life undermined, here anguished querying of those who would like to respect the continuity of the character is greater than the interest of the character!
