Superior Spider-Man #1 - I realize that it's the norm for anybody who's writing about the Spider-Man books to bash them nowadays, but you still won't find me doing it. Obviously, I don't want this Doc Ock in Spidey's body to be what they're still doing years from now (and I don't believe for a second that's what anybody at Marvel wants either). Still, I found myself eagerly flipping through the pages, and I like how even though Octavius has the sense of responsibility, he continues to be an arrogant blowhard. I especially love the fact that he sits there at the dinner table with Mary Jane with one of those douchey headsets in his ear. You gotta figure it's only a matter of time until she catches on that something's wrong - and again, she continues to be an interesting character as his non-wife.As for the twist at the end? I wasn't surprised, but I was glad to see it.
SPOILER ALERT
Basically, we find out that Peter is still holding on to at least a little bit of control, and he's continuing to fight to regain full consciousness of his own body. Personally, I could have settled for a more subtle way of showing this and holding off on this reveal until the third or fourth issue.
Punisher War Zone #3 (of 5) - Thor versus the Punisher? It's not much of a contest, so it ends in a conversation - a somewhat interesting one though.
Thor: God of Thunder #4 - More excellent stuff, and we're starting to see how the young Thor, present-day Thor, and Old Thor stories tie together. I hope we get a motivation for the villain. He's kinda like Christopher Hitchens as a god-killing supervillain, only not sympathetic.
