The second Issue of the prologue to Spider-Verse, See's The dimension hopping Superior Spider-Man and his band of rescued Spider-Men, Monkey, and Girls, find themselves in the year 2818 where they encounter Cy-borg Spider-Man, and the assailant that has been killing Spider-Men throughout the Muti-verse. It's also here that Superior Spider-Man (Doctor Octopus) has decreed that they should make their stand against their hunter Karn. 

It's been a welcome return to see these last two issues of Superior Spider-Man that lead directly into the forthcoming Spider-Man event, Spider-Verse.

For many the last we saw of SpOCK was when he relinquished control of Spider-Man's body back to Peter Parker, during the tail end of Goblin Nation. nut here we see him in his pomp back at his arrogant best. when he still believed himself to be The "Superior" Spider-Man.

It's a shame that we only have a limited time with SpOCK again as thses issues have shown what an interesting character it is that Christos Gage and Dan Slott created. and Giuseppe Camuncoli shows with the art work in this book just why he is regarded by many as one of the best Spider-Man artists currently around.

The speed in which the story moves forward and yet flows seamlessly from panel to panel paired with dialogue of the banter between the differing Spider-people is due to the excellent writing by Gage aided Slott's scripting, which just keeps the reader turning the page and enthused for Spider-Verse. as twist follows twist and we find out more about the mysterious "Karn", especially when two further characters Brix and Bora arrive drawn to the presence of Spider-Totems. Generating more Hype for when the Spider-Verse story arc kicks off proper in Amazing Spider-Man #9 in November. Whereas Camuncoli's art jumps of the page in spectacular form drawing (Pun intended) the reader into the world that Gage and Slott are inviting us into.

Should the level of writing and art of this event continue to build on the excellent start that these two issue have given it then we readers are in for one hell of a ride. an overall score for this prologue as a whole I would have to give is a fantastic 

9.0
