Welcome to the Edge of the Spider-Verse!
The prelude to the huge Spider-Man event begins this week in Superior Spider-Man #32.
And it begins with the return of Otto Octavius!
After stealing Peter Parker’s life and identity for a year, Octavius surrendered the body and title of Spider-Man back to Parker and sacrificed his own consciousness.
Superior Spider-Man #31 was supposed to be the final issue but you can’t keep a classic villain down. Spider-Verse is the event featuring every character who ever had a Spider in their code-name and they weren’t kidding.
Where is Otto now? What is he up to?
Doc Ock’s story continues in Superior Spider-Man #32, 33 by Dan Slott and Christos Gage as they reveal what happened in the missing 9 hours when Otto and Horizon Labs vanished in the finale.
“Is this an untold chapter of the past, a tale of the future, or both?” Gage said on Marvel.com.
Editor Nick Lowe explains this issue kicks off this Fall’s big event:
“The road to the biggest Spider-Event of all time begins here. SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN finds himself in 2099, finally a time where science and intellectual advancement is at least closer to his genius. He needs to find his way home, but things get a little more complicated than that.”
Gage added that Otto will come face to face with a Peter Parker very different from the one we know.
Otto returns in Superior Spider-Man #32 out Wednesday.
