@blues32:You must of not read the rest of the issues SS got his own company and Army! Although he has got complacent Norman seems to be his only threat and what kind of superhero book would this be without a villain? I really enjoyed the series so far minus the 2099 arc.

Maybe the series've been well-written so far, but it can't shake the fact that the so-called hero here is a robber and a hypocrite. You can't just rob other people of their lives and say to yourself "It's better(or superior) this way." You've been beating the crap out of other bad guys for their sins, so why always ignore those of your own?

If the end of this run was that Octavius rid NY of the bad guys and returned the body to its owner, maybe he would earn some respect.

@undeadpool: Corey you fool! Don't you understand that your personal thoughts on this series are worthless? We are the internet and our will is legion. Your opinion on this issue means nothing to us. Likewise our opinions should mean nothing to you. So let us all gouge out our eyes and ears to rid the world of this vile concept of personal preference once and for all.

But seriously I love this series. I had a feeling that sooner or later Otto and Ana would bang a gong get it on. Finally a Spider-Man who doesn't need to date pin up girls. I can't wait to see where this stuff with Venom goes. Maybe Parker Industries can hook up Flash with robot legs so he can live a normal life instead of wondering if the symbiote will some day relapse and try to take control again. More Spider-Man like this please.

I feel like those who are complaining about this issue don't care for the "out of costume" moments which, in my mind, are some of the strongest in the series. Especially scenes that focus on the fantastic Anna Maria. There will be plenty of Venom upcoming, so I enjoy the slow builds.
