COMICS: Lettered Preview Pages From THE SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #1 Tease Identity Of New Spidey
Uh-oh. For those of you hoping that Marvel were just kidding around about it no longer being Peter Parker behind the mask after Amazing Spider-Man #700, you may want to avoid these lettered preview pages from The Superior Spider-Man #1!
Well, as you have now seen, these preview pages seemingly confirm that Peter Parker is no longer Spider-Man. The "Can't believe Parker put up with this" line gives it away, and this version of the the character certainly doesn't act or speak/think like Peter. He instead comes across far more similar to Doctor Octopus (who is currently inhabiting Peter's body). This could of course be yet ANOTHER red herring, but it could be argued that Marvel and Dan Slott are letting themselves in for a VERY nasty surprise if they think sales of The Superior Spider-Man will do anything other than drop without Peter Parker. Just look what happened when they retconned his marriage to Mary Jane Watson back in 2008... Many thanks to the guys over at Bleeding Cool for the scans.
