Part two of Christopher Yost's "Superior Six" story arc is something fun and entertaining. After taking the sinister six hostage, The Superior Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus, puts his former villain team mates under mind control in order to fight crime with a "superior" super team. In part one we see the first development in this and see just how the sinister six react to being under the control of their arch nemesis. In this issue, part 2, we see how the city of New York, the police department, Mayor J. Jonah Jameson and the Avengers react to this recent team up and boy, none of them see happy. Now wanted by the Police Spider-Man and his new "superior six" take to the streets again to fight the wrecking crew, and the masters of evil who team up to take down Spider-Man and his team.
Story Summary(some spoilers)
The book starts with some of the most important Spider-Man characters reactions to the recent Spider-Man, Sinister Six team-up, and no one seems happy about it. After taking the stolen "quantum particle engine" back to Parker Industries for safe keeping, Spider-Man receives an alert of an attack on the city at the hands of the wrecking crew and the masters of evil. Spider-Man takes his mind controlled "superior six" out into the city once again in an attempt to stop them. While they are fighting, Sun Girl also shows to help Spidey and his team stop the villains. About halfway through the fight Spider-Ock (nickname for Superior Spider-Man) realizes that this attack is all a diversion so that the super villain "Lightmaster" could steal the quantum particle engine. When Spidey returns to Parker Industries he finds that he is too late and that Lightmaster had already stolen the device from inside Parker Industries. After a reveal that Sun Girl is Lightmaster's daughter, she is able to stop her dad from firing the device at Spidey and his Superior Six. Spider-Man the commands Sun Girl to shoot the device with her powers so that it would activate it. After activating the device Spidey notices that the blast had knocked out his mind control over the sinister six and they are now free. The book ends with Spidey staring at his villains, setting up the next issue to be one heck of a battle.
QUICK NOTE: When the hell did Parker Industries get formed? I know Peter was trying to start it up in the main SSM title but I don't remember it's actual formation? Is "SSM Team-Up" supposed to take place in the future of SSM? If you have any idea
Review of the Book
Overall I very much enjoyed this issue of Superior Spider-Man Team-Up and think that it's definitely better than the previous three issues. This book has a lot of great action and is a pretty good representation of who the Superior Spider-Man is and how he acts, versus the overly arrogant version we've got in any other book he's made an appearance in. I think Christopher Yost did an awesome job with the pacing of this story and an awesome job with the way everything is falling apart with the Sinister Six. It really adds something new to the SSM universe. The art in this book was just absolutely beautiful! It's honestly some of the best art I've seen in a book lately. Super realistic style to it and it fits this books style perfectly!
Pros, Cons, and Rating
Pros: Good Writing, beautiful art, awesome action, and just a good intense feel to it!
Cons: The villains don't have any motives, and it felt like a very short read
Rate: 8/10. Overall a very fun and intense book!
