Doc Ock's Demons

I love it when writers really explore the traumas that motivate villains, show the lurking nightmares distorting their minds, and push the demons in them to the extreme. I mean stuff like Kraven's Last Hunt, or the brilliant Maximum Carnage.

And this is our "Superior" hero...

A Spider-Man love triangle like few others - ASM #317

And now it's time for one of my rare "Context is for the weak" posts...



In Amazing Spider-Man 317, the ongoing relationship between two guys and the alien symbiote they have both bonded to comes to a surprising climax...

And by climax I mean... well, you can guess I think )
