I have to say, Slott has taken a very hated decision and made some great stories out of it so far. Can't wait to see what he does next!

You and I have far different defintions of "great stories". This hasn't held up to the classic Spidey stories at all, or even the recent Brand New Day stories for that matter; IMO.

I have to say that steggmens ( is that his name?) Art has been pretty decent... I didn't care a whole lot for ramos' campy art but casellis' was pretty good. I'm curious as to how many more stories slott has left. He's deffently been better than stratzynski's run.

See I think Brand New Day was boring and I thought JMS's run was "mostly" really good.

I'm loving every minute of Superior Spider-Man. With the exception of "The Other", I absolutely hated JMS's run on ASM. I did not like Brand New Day, not because of the actual reboot, I just didn't like the stories that came out of it until Slott started being the regular writer on the series. What excites me about Superior Spider-Man is the character development of Otto. Couldn't care less about Peter because we all know that at his core, Peter will never stop being Peter. Spider-Man fans know Peter inside and out and out as a character, so Marvel will never do anything that strays too far from that. To me, now, the only way to make Peter more interesting is to make his villains more interesting and that's what Slott is succeeding at. I'm getting a kick out of getting this close of a look inside of Otto's head. People have to stop looking at it as Slott ruining Spider-Man and look at it as Slott giving Otto Octavius a whole new lease on life in the Marvel U. And I love how Otto's growth WILL have an impact on Peter Parker as a character since he's been a witness to his life from a whole other perspective. It's almost like "Peter Parker, THIS is YOUR LIFE!" To me, it's been brilliant and interesting and fresh so far. I love it when Marvel has the balls to shake things up in the Spider-Man Universe cause I'm sick of reading the same old stuff. The ideas will never be 100% successful, but readers can't forget that there's always a way to get back to how things were if something just doesn't stick. 50 years, people! If you keep writing the same old Spidey, you're gonna run out of stories to tell.

I have to say I thought I would hate Superior Spider-man, but am really enjoying it. This title needed a shake up, the the story IMO has been executed well. I am just not happy about chasing down those variants...I have all 5, and #9 on order, but forgot to order the #6 variant through my online store...

On another side note, this is some cover. Kind of like the psychedelic posters for Grateful Dead concerts or sleeves in the 60's.

although I havent read Superior yet, I am already hoping for a speedy return of PP and of course Amazing Spider-man, because we all know that the title will return.

Wouldn't be too sure about ASM returning any time soon. Look's like Marvel is really pushing the "Superior Spider-Man" brand. They're renaming "Avenging Spider-Man" to "Superior Spider-Man Team-Up" in July. Also this summer, Marvel is launching a new ongoing series titled "Superior Foes of Spider-Man" and a new "Superior Carnage" mini-series.

It is beginning to sound like the Clone Saga all over again. If I remember properly, an interview with the writer talks about the clone saga. It was something like this, "It had really good initial sales, so good in fact that upper management decided to have us lengthen the story. So we had to come up with more stories and what should've been a six month long story became a 4 year long storyline and people hating it after awhile." Or something similar to that.
Sales went up so that means it must be good, didn't we all know that? :)

I read that Slott is saying fans are really gonna be (banned) after issue 9. What could possibly piss Spidey fans off even more than the last 5 years or so?

What could possibly piss Spidey fans off even more than the last 5 years or so? It really makes you wonder when a writer (and Marvel in general) brags about how they are angering long-time readers of a book. I guess it's considered positive to insult the core audience.

I think it's more of a slap in the face to the people who were sending Slott death threats on Twitter. It's also one of those things that I think gets people to pick up a certain issue. It reminds me of that part in the movie private parts when they are discussing Howard Stern's ratings. They asked why people who loved him tuned in and the response was: "They wanted to hear what he was going to say." Then they asked why even MORE people who hated him tuned in the response was: "They wanted to hear what he was going to say" I think this is more of they want people to see what all the fuss is about.
