writer Dan Slott gave an interview with USA Today this afternoon in which he confirmed that Marvel NOW!’s “Superior” teasers related to Spider-Man.The Superior Spider-Man will launch in 2013, and feature changes made to the character, with slight costume redesigns that make the character appear more insectoid, alien and menacing.”The first story arc is called ‘Hero or menace?’ I think that pretty much tells you where we’re going,” said Slott.The writer, who has teased seismic changes to the character and his world with the end of The Amazing Spider-Man with #700, says that while he’s still the writer, this won’t be the same Spider-Man book in many important respects.”I’ve always been the omniscient hand that’s been protecting Peter Parker and Spider-Man, and not letting anything too bad happen to him,” Slott said. “And now I’ve become this cruel god. There’s something exciting about that, about going, ‘Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha, here is what’s going to happen to you, Spider-Man!’ And it’s drastic and it’s big and it’s exciting and it’s never been done before.”
