Superior Spider-Man #9 (2013)

Wow! Only 9 issues in! I expected the book to get through at least a dozen issues before we got the epic confrontation. And by Stan Lee's moustache, I have tried to give this book a fighting chance. But this was the breaking point. The battle lasts one issue and although ends on a cliffhanger (of sorts)this issue has lost most of the charm and humor and the reality of Peter's patheticness and Doc's insanity are harsh. Peter's breakdown was especially troubling to read. Let's hope that the Black Widow and a pair of Peter's old girlfriends can figure this out quick. The sad part of all this is that the writer's had Spider-Man on the right track getting Peter a real job, a new love interest, a new adult life and then WTF? Shame on you Marvel!
