The Superior Spider-Man Faces His DARKEST HOUR With The Return of – VENOM!
Meet a superior symbiote as Octavius faces Flash Thompson in Superior Spider-Man!
This November, the amazing creative team of Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos sink their teeth into the villain who could ruin everything you know about the Superior Spider-Man—Venom—in Superior Spider-Man #22!
“Be warned—we have some nasty stuff planned,” said series writer Dan Slott. “Venom always brings out Spider-Man’s dark side, and we’re taking that 10 steps further in this latest arc. You should probably read this in a sunny, well-populated area.”
Nobody had pushed Peter Parker harder than Venom—will Otto Octavius face the same brink? As the symbiote’s tentacles wrap around Otto’s new life, everything he’s worked, sacrificed, and even killed for face their greatest jeopardy yet. One of the biggest books of Marvel NOW! is about to get even crazier in year two as The Superior Spider-Man’s journey takes a new dark twist.
“There is no better brawl to get the blood pumping like a showdown between Spider-Man and Venom,” said Marvel Senior Editor Steve Wacker. “Now that Otto’s in the driver’s, we can see these two clash with a viciousness we’ve never seen before. Believe me when I say we’ve been saving up for this one!”
With his life turned upside-down by his most ruthless enemy, can the Superior Spider-Man live up to his name? Find out as Venom reigns this November in Superior Spider-Man #22!

Wow, this was announced back in JULY!? It just came out. Actually, the second issue of the arc just came out, but the previous issue wasn't long before that. Anyway, things are really coming to a boil right now. No spoilers, but the Superior Status Quo seems to be just about ready for a big change.
Awesome stuff. It's kind of like an old-time farce, except instead of a comedy, there are a whole lot of bad things going down simultaneously.
It appears they do plan ahead!
BTW, I'm amazed this still post exists. I usually kill out news items about stuff that's been published or is more than two or three months old -- how did this one slip by me? :)
:) I did a search for Superior Spider-Man so as not to start a new thread, and this one popped up a page or two down. It was apt, so I went with it. As I was reading it today, I realized that--as good as Avengers has been with Infinity and all--this may be my number one ongoing comic for 2013 in terms of entertainment value. It's just so good and chock full of comicky goodness.

It is a good book, and that comes from someone who actually stopped reading Amazing Spider-Man at one point after more than 40 years.
