Turning Doctor Octopus into the new Spider-Man was big! Dan Slott is revealing his bigger plans for the Superior Spider-Man. Issue 7 and 8 are the set up for everything happening this summer. Marvel teased “Spectacular Spider-Man No More” for issue 9. Slott shares what’s ahead as he builds up to July Spider-Man month with Marvel.com.

The Avengers are starting to go heeeeey, that doesn’t feel like Spider-Man, what’s going on here, what is this? And even other people are starting to tweak to it too. And we’ve seen Spider-Man act weird in the past, we’ve seen him lose his cool, and smash up people like Firelord, and when he thinks he is going to kill the Lizard. You know, we’ve seen him lose it at times, and at no point does anyone go “Spider-Man you’re losing it. Someone must’ve swapped your brain.” You know, it’s not the first thing you jump to. But people are starting to get a little, “Eehhhhhhh, something’s weird. Something’s going on.”

One of Marvel’s biggest bad guys got a cameo in the finale of The Avengers movie but he’s the star of a major comic book event kicking off this week. Thanos Rising #1 takes you  into the childhood of the alien who grew up worshipping Death and would wipe out half the universe to honor her.

Who Will Star In Marvel Now Wave 2?

Who will be riding the Marvel Now! Wave 2? Marvel Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso told Comic Book Resources new series will launch this July. Uncanny Avengers, All-New X-Men, Indestructible Hulk were some of the new titles in the aftermath of Avengers vs. X-Men.

Wave 2 will launch in the aftermath of Age of Ultron. Marvel already revealed the epilogue of that event will be co-written by Neil Gaiman and introduce Angela into the Marvel Universe and the finale will have a dramatic event on Hank Pym.

Who deserves to star in their own Marvel Now! series next?

Here are my picks for Marvel Now! Wave 2:
