It was years ahead of it’s time in 1956 and was a landmark classic in science fiction. It had interstellar travel ray guns and…

Peter Parker the True Spider-Man

Walt

This is a review of Superior Spider-Man 30 so if you have not read it yet (So where have you been) I suggest you don’t read this post right now but after you read #30. SPOILER ALERT.
