The struggle isn't quite over for Peter and his team. Even after sending the Inheritors into permanent exile on an irradiated Earth, they face the wrath of an enraged Superior Spider-Man. Otto has deduced that this Peter Parker has retaken control of his body, and thus, Otto's reign as the Superior Spider-Man is doomed. But he's not going down without a fight. On paper, this seemed like a great way to cap off Spider-Verse and close the book on the Superior Spider-Man era once and for all. In execution, this conflict comes across as halfhearted. Otto isn't portrayed with any real depth here, coming across as a raving villain rather than a desperate human being clinging to a life he fought so hard to usurp. There should be a sense of tragedy to this conflict that isn't apparent in these pages. On the bright side, Peter does receive a cool moment during the fight, and Slott drops one little tidbit that suggests he may not be quite finished with the saga of the Superior Spider-Man.
