Superior Spider-Man #6 Review by Randy Young This whole Doc-Spidey thing is coming to a head. The story that I thought could go for some time is probably going to end much sooner.

I was a little annoyed with Jonathan Hickman for his overly complex story that was offering no insight into what exactly was going on. Then I got to page 14. Justice. Cipher. Spitfire. Starbrand.
