Unless, of course, this is just a shadow of Otto projected over the real Peter that will just fade over time, taking us back to the status quo (plus one more barrier between Pete and MJ)...
Naaah.

Date: 2013-01-16 08:49 pm (UTC)It annoys me so, so much. In the long run either everyone is going to just have to be a massive idiot, or they're going to have to not get suspicious, which would just be sad, given how much shit Spidey's taken over the years, for his hard earned friends and allies not to notice that he's being used as a meat puppet by a murderer.
I find it immensely vexing and it really ruins my enjoyment of what looks like a reasonably fun book. I really think they'd have been better off going with the reverse situation and having Peter in his own body, but struggling with Ock residual memories, but what do I know.
Um, as to the actual story, this looks neat. I mean, again, I just can't get aboard with this status quo, but it looks decently written. But what's up with Spider-Man's mask? Does it have a little nose hook now? Looks weird as heck.

Date: 2013-01-16 09:02 pm (UTC)On the plus side I like it when people like Wolverine and Ock!Spidey's thoughts are a good mirror to what I've always thought - that deep down Peter thinks Logan is a jerk. I mean didn't he also hit on MJ when he though Peter was out of the way (that's still canon, right?)

Date: 2013-01-16 10:00 pm (UTC)This got me totally on Otto's side. If the book became 22 pages of him beating up Wolverine every two weeks, I would buy double copies bi-monthly.
Yeah, when the X-Men get possessed they start doing awful things. Remeber all the "stopping world hunger" stuff they were doing? Those monsters. (Cannot wait for enough time to pass so that people will stop referencing that stupid event.)

Beware... the Continuity Geek!
Date: 2013-01-16 10:05 pm (UTC)Being from the future (or really, *A* future) Rachel knows Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Or at least she did before whatever the heck happened in One Moment in Time happened.

Date: 2013-01-17 12:32 am (UTC)Come to think of it, didn't Spider-Man beat the holy hell out of Wolverine in their first meeting/team-up? Though admittedly that would've been back in the Claremont "Healing Factor doesn't mean he can't get his butt severely kicked" Wolverine days.

Date: 2013-01-17 01:16 am (UTC)Doesn't make me utterly despise the pointlessness of this huge freaking stunt of a 'story' any less. Nor those ugly metal goggles. I suppose whoever came up with them didn't account for the fact that their "expressiveness" would only work when they've got a light-source to reflect. Get used to never seeing Freaky Friday-Man at night or in an area with mood lighting...

Date: 2013-01-17 02:47 am (UTC)The thing is, he sort of did that. He's making characteristically Spidey jokes ("badger sense", "you can't tell me you never thought about it"), which he presumably wouldn't be able to do without Peter's memories.

Also have a feeling this fiasco will culminate in another event where it takes all the heroes to subdue Spidey and purge Otto from his mind and everyone's friends again blah?

Date: 2013-01-17 12:37 pm (UTC)We have characters actually suspicious enough about Spidey's strange behaviour that they want to check to make sure it's really him. We also have Ock actually trying to talk like Peter would, and not doing a terrible job of it, which is something he didn't even bother with going by the scans of SSM #1.
This doesn't mean I've warmed up to the body-switching idea, but kudos to Chris Yost for doing a good job with what he was given to work with.

Date: 2013-01-17 01:26 pm (UTC)As for suspicion of Peter? I figure it's just the new bullet to dodge, the new "why does Superman appear whenever Clark Kent leaves?" kind of thing.
