Loved the issue. I would say it is my favorite of Season 9. Enjoyed the appearance of Robin and Nikki…

Huge. Loved it all around. Truly Dick Grayson as Nightwing. I’ve thought the other Nightwing book hindered Dick Graysons character…

February 5, 2013 8:39 pm This issue has definitely restored some of my faith after issue #700. I enjoyed it.
January 27, 2013 12:30 am I have to completely disagree. Cassaday has come back to his days from Astonishing X-men and Rick Remender is writing a great X-men/Avengers story. Original, and I would go so far as to to say as great as Grant Morrison's run on New X-men taking the characters to a different and new place and supporting it. Red Skull has been vacant since Captain America, and Remender is inserting him into a main title as a true villain and enhancing not only his overall character, but the Avengers as well.
January 27, 2013 12:21 am Remender and Cassaday are doing amazing work.. The issue was great on so many parts. I would say it is a 5 for the art, story, and overall comic touch. Remender is writing an amazing story. Well done
January 27, 2013 12:17 am Definitely enjoyed this issue. It continued last issue and the Joker cameo was credible. It set up Batman #17 very well.
January 27, 2013 12:14 am This issue was very disappointing. No Red Hood or Red Robin at all except the final page. The action in the issue was lacking and non-conclusiive.
January 9, 2013 9:44 pm I'm not a fan of #700 and how it ended (despite it having a good story twist), but I agree with your article. I ready Superior #1, and it has potential. I picked this issue up and will get the next issue, but I will where it goes from there.
January 6, 2013 12:47 am #700 was a pretty good story (twists from "Spider-Island" to "Ends of the World"). But Peter Parker is the essence of Spider-man. In the end, I felt let down. I've had the title for over a decade and read it through it all. JMS was my fav, but Slott delivered a pretty good storyline on a consistent basis. As a comic fan, overall you always have to evolve a character, storyline, and all. I've read the twists w/the "Clone Saga" in the 90s, "The Other", and even "One More Day", and I took it for what it was, but the Peter Parker evolved each time in some way. To say "Superior Spider-Man", for the relaunch makes me shake my head in disgust because it is not. Plain and simple. "Inferior", yes, but not "Superior" . Imagine a Batman book w/o Bruce Wayne or a Superman book w/o Clark Kent (Ka-el)!!! Yes, I know it's been tried, and there have been side books that have tried to re-capture that essence of the character, but it is an imitation of the tried and true.
December 19, 2012 9:17 pm I hope this story does have real ties to the original "Death in the Family". Last issue left some evidence at the end (#14), we will see.
December 19, 2012 9:16 pm I completely agree.
