When Superior Spider-Man works, it works exceedingly well and luckily for fans of the story, Superior Spider-Man #4 is one of those times. Read Full Review

Did we need an entire issue devoted to a fight scene honoring Doc Ock and Spider-Man's history? Probably not, and while it's drawn to perfection, it also feels like an unnecessary issue as we wait for Supernova- an underwritten character, to say the least- to be defeated already. Superior Spider-Man #4 honors the past and works as it calls back to key elements but falls flat as a comic that could have brought much more joy. Read Full Review

Fun read, still better a better Spider-Man run than ASM.

while I was a bit annoyed that Peter Parker keeps on losing and needs help, but the ending made up for it. also, Mark Bagley is the definitive Spider-man artist in my opinion.

I like Superior in general, but this issue fell a little too far at the sloppy/indulgent end of the spectrum. The story logic in the last few pages didn't quite click for me. The art is great and the book is very readable, although this run still hasn't really firmly established its reason for existing. I would guess that we're here to either rehabilitate or kill off Otto; of the two options, rehabilitation seems like the more interesting.
