Well Dan Slott is not the low life people thought, he has restored faith in Peter Parker being the right man to be Peter Parker and Spider-Man. HooRay.

I’m not leaping to conclusions. I’m stating facts. Doc Ock is a villain and has been for over 50 years. Just because he gets to see Peter’s life, doesn’t make him radically change into a hero after being what he is for 50 years. To accept this, I would have to suspend all logic, reason and common sense. If that is so simple for readers to do, then god bless them. My ability to think rationally won’t allow me to do it. Would this concept work if Norman Osborn became Spider Man? Would it work if Dr. Doom became Spider Man? How about Magneto as Spider Man? It just sounds completely ridiculous. Because a hard core villain is a villain. No amount of happy thoughts and guilt will change that. If he has no problem wiping out all of Manhattan with his final solution, then seeing Peter’s pathetic life would do nothing to him. That’s the betrayal. Not Peter’s death, which I accept. It’s the complete and utter idiocy that Doc Ock will now be good and that we will just smile and say ok. And that he won’t be found out immediately. MJ is already suspicious because even though he has Peter’s memories, he’s still Doc Ock, an ass with a superiority complex, at heart. The complete opposite of Peter. That is what makes me angry and disgusted.

I love Spiderman and I enjoyed Amazing 700, I thought it was a good enough storyline and pretty good art, in those respects I am pleased but it is not the perfect ending to my favorite Marvel character, The thing that ruined this comic for me was that I was completely dissatisfied with the end I love spiderman much like the writer of this review because of Peter Parker and when I realized he was going to die I was annoyed because he’s Peter Parker but I accepted it because I have hundreds of previous issues to re read. What made me dissatisfied was the plausibility of this ending I don’t believe Doc Ock would have ‘turned’ simply because he experienced Peter’s life, I feel that it’s completely implausible and that it would never happen, It left me with a slightly sour taste in my mouth after what should have been a sad, but excellent ending to one of (in my opinion) the best super hero series ever written, it might be a money making ploy to continue Spiderman in this way but hey, who knows? and neither am I going to pre judge Superior Spiderman because of this comic but I am still not satisfied. This should have been an amazing climax and it had the potential to be but it just went out with a slightly implausible bang. If I had written this comic, I would have ended with Spiderman and Doc Ock jumping off Avengers tower to their death, I think this would have made a better ending and been an excellent metaphor for what Spiderman is all about, WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY, If Peter Parker had of sacrificed himself to ensure that Doc Ock could do no damage with his Spiderman form then I think that would have ended Spiderman well and dramatically, this would have summed up Spiderman, and so I’m going to finish this (extremely long) comment, the book was enjoyable but left a VERY sour taste in my mouth.
