Doctor Octopus has his own agenda, long past the old revenge-against-Spider-Man, grabs for wealth or political power, that used to see him subsumed by the supervillain standards Instead, he is after his stuff and taking it back from the Beyond Corporation, who bought out the very Parker Industries he used to control When he was[...]

With no more representation of the inside of a comic book than a Skottie Young variant. Which would have stood up a lot more if the Mystery Hydra Villain variant cover for Secret Empire #2… …didn't really resemble a twist in today's Amazing Spider-Man #25. You may have read a Bleeding Cool article from Monday morning (if you[...]

When Marvel have hired him to write The Arms Of The Octopus, three extra-sized comics linking together All New X-Men, Indestructible Hulk and Superior Spider-Man, all joined by a J Scott Campbell variant triptych.
