Superior Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 1 (Superior Spider-man Omnibus, 1)

Product Information

Comics that push what we know and think of heroes and villains, satirizing how those worlds and people work, and still telling a heartfelt tale: how anybody, even the stupid villain that Spider-Man once fought in two pages, can be the most fascinating person, and achieve their dreams.

I normally avoid super-hero comics, but after getting hooked on the dark humor of "The Fix", I had to look for more work from the same author. Otto insulting people, being a egotistical punk is something I will always cherish because of this run. With inspirations ranging from The Sopranos to Breaking Bad with the Coen Brothers and Arrested Development in between, this series finally shows how the random supervillain lives: how and why they started their careers, how they find their missions and their personal goals. Nick Spencer captured what it's like being a criminal in the MU, and those days, it sucks, except if you actually know what you do, like Boomerang does, but I'll explore him more about later on.It manages to be new-reader friendly, while rewarding avid Marvel readers for knowing each precise character (like Mirage). He's supposed to be a central foe for Spider-Man, but in hindsight, he isn't part of any major team or storyline. This contrasts with the dark nature of their acts of violence, and more generally the atmosphere of the criminal underworld.

Zaś sama historia to czysty heist z niejednym cudownym zwrotem akcji, która nie zwalnia tempa nawet na chwilę. It's a driving force that makes him untrustworthy and unpredictable, and the genius of the book is persistently putting him on a team or to ally with others. Couple of good jokes, everyone gets a happy ending and everything goes back to the status quo in the end. Their hubris and obsessions lead them to fail, in a collision course to others like them, and that is what truly anchors the comic in the crime satire.The characters are never safe and have to plan their next step, and with that in mind, the series still balances the action and ordinary moments well. But at the same time, I felt it got bland at times and the way Boomerang was written began to annoy me, making it tough for me to keep going at times.

Superior Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 1 (The Superior Spider-man)

Steve Lieber's artistic ideas convey more emotion and humor better than any line of dialogue or piece of acting. Artist Humberto Ramos made his American comics debut in 1994 with DC’s Impulse, featuring the Flash’s brash grandson. Anyway, this is just a very silly comedy series about the Superior Spider-Man's version of the Sinister Six.The impactful moments, where decisions are taken, are integral and matter (unlike Thor: Ragnarok, which had to tell a joke every 30 seconds). But even that I would chalk up more to editorial decision assuming that putting "Spider-Man" in the title would lead to increased sales and brand recognition.
