Superior Spiderman is a new comic book reboot with a fascinating premise. Peter Parker, alter-ego of Spiderman, swaps bodies with his arch-nemesis, Doctor Octopus. Parker dies while Doc Oc, overwhelmed by Parker's noble memories and persistent subconscious, decides to pursue a more heroic path. He's still a megalomaniac, of course, and that's what makes the new series so intriguing.
