This is a really great issue due to it mastering each sequence and propelling the story at a fast clip. The premise is sound too and it's going to be exciting to see how this story plays out. Read Full Review

Despite the #32, this issue isn't too difficult of apick-up spot for anyone not familiar with Otto Octavius as Spider-man. The quick exposition, the dramatic and detailed action sequences plus the brash superior nature of our herokeep you turning the page and ready for the event that is about to unfold. Read Full Review

Fans of SpOck, rejoice! For he has returned.Even if this whole event was just an elaborate way to get Superior and Amazing together in one continuity I wouldn't care " I'd love to see them trade banter and blows on a monthly basis. As for this issue " a solid return for one of the best 'new' characters in years, and a tantalising, action-packed start to what is shaping up to be an extremely fun event. Read Full Review

It's great to have Superior Spider-Man back again, if only for a short time. This issue serves as a reminder of what made the series so successful, and it also manages to set the stage for Spider-Verse in a major way. Read Full Review

Regardless of how far his actual role in "Spider-Verse" will go, thank goodness there's still one issue of this series to come. Read Full Review

With a strong setup for the Edge of Spider-Verse story arc, as well as some great character moments for Octavius as he runs roughshod through 2099 and various realities, Superior Spider-Man #32 makes for a promising start to a larger story. Read Full Review

Cool way to bring the character back, and the reveal at the end is very interesting, but we will have to see how Spider-Verse pans out to truly love or hate this issue. Read Full Review

While I was skeptical of Slott and Gage dipping back into the Otto Octavius/Superior Spider-Man well so soon after the return of Peter Parker, "Superior Spider-Man" #32 hit me as a pleasant surprise. Unencumbered by current continuity, Slott and Gage are able to play around with the concepts and characters that are set to become the spine of "Spider-Verse." It's not spider-sense, but the uncertainty backed by action and excitement appears to be setting "Spider-Verse" up to be an event to remember. Read Full Review

Slott hasn’t lost his touch with handling Spidey (or Spock, at least), and while many argue that his time is due (no comment), he at least knows his way around the character well enough to bring his characteristic ego out to the fullest, and let it shine in the wake of potential catastrophe. And let me just say this: Camuncoli’s artwork is much appreciated over Ramos’s, and helps to lend a very dynamic, yet consistent feel to character designs, as well as action sequences. This is a great starting point for what could be Marvel’s best event of 2014, and let’s hope this doesn’t act as the latest in a long line of Marvel “cash-in” events. Read Full Review

Superior ended and most of us never gave it a second thought. We just put down issue #31 and moved on. Issue #32 makes us yearn for the previous Spidey to the point where Marvel should really find a way to have both Otto and Peter around. Read Full Review

This first issue was a great starting-off point for the beginning of Spider-Verse, with exceptional art courtesy of the talented Giuseppe Camuncoli (Daken Dark Wolverine) on pencil, and a combo smack-down of John Dell (Magog) inking and Antonio Fabela (Iron Man) coloring this spiderrefic palette. This double-sized issue also comes with a great mini-story by Marvel God himself, Joe Quesada (Everything), featuring an Unfriendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Read Full Review

Doc Ock is back as the SUPERIOR Spider-Man. He hasn't been gone long but he has been missed. Now we get to find out what happened when he disappeared during issue #19. Not only does this issue start off SpOck's final adventures as Spidey, it also sets things up for SPIDER-VERSE. You get a sense of how big this story will be and seeing Ock involved is pretty cool. Dan Slott and Christos Gage have their hands full with Doc Ock's return and we get some cool art by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Adam Kubert. It would have been nice to see SpOck focus more on his own adventure but the set up for SPIDER-VERSE makes this something Spider-Man readers won't want to miss. Read Full Review

I have always like the Superior Spider-Man, and I'm glad to see him making a return. Hopefully this means we will see the more of him in the future, and maybe even a full return? One can only hope. Read Full Review

Combine that with an eight-page Spider-Verse backup drawn by Adam Kubert, and there's a lot of bang for your $4.99 in Superior Spider-Man #32. The thing that holds this book back is an extremely slow start. That said, once Slott and Gage start getting warmed up, you feel more potential in this comic than we've seen in probably a dozen issues of Spider-Man. And that's a good thing. I can't grade this comic based solely on what might be in the future - which, as a 30-page book, contains probably 10 pages of filler - but I can say the future is looking hopeful for the Superior Spider-Man.

This over-sized spectacular could have probably been tightened up and begun the Edge of Spider-Verse event with the same effect. Conversely, the extra pages could have been utilized better and given a bigger bang for the buck. Nevertheless, the groundwork is set and after reading this issue, it should be quite clear for any reader whether or not they want to jump on board for the event. Personally, I cannot wait to see how Peter reacts when he meets up with Doc Ock, which is inevitable, or how Doc Ock will react when he realizes that in the near future, relatively speaking, Peter returns to claim his body.

If you enjoyed Superior Spider-man and are aching for more, or would just like an introduction to Spider-verse, then pick this issue up. While it does have some slight logic problems due to the time travel aspect, the story was thoroughly enjoyable. Read Full Review

The Bottom Line:The story does what it says on the cover– provides a set-up for the upcoming Spider-Verse crossover, but it does so with only one really “likeable” version, the Spider-Man of India. As such, there's many missed opportunities of setting and character and suspence, with only the promise of the gimmick to see as many Spider-Versions as possible as the real “hook.” Granted, that's a pretty neat hook likely to bring me back, especially since I trust in what Slott/Gage can deliver, but it makes me hesitate to recommend this book unless you're looking for a complete collection.

I enjoyed it, but I ain't buying all of the tie-ins!

So happy Superior Spider-Man is back and OH MY GOSH Camuncoli is back too the art is just perfect he brings Spider-Man to life and does him justice.
