I bought all the issues to this yesterday, and while I still have two more to read before I'm fully caught up, I am loving this series.
I also might be applying too much logic to a comic book, but another issue that has kept me from out right loving this. Is exactly the fact that Peter has started talking more like Otto and the villains are the ones that notice it more than Peter's family and friends.
Like you'd think Mary Jane, Aunt May, Carlie, etc would be wondering why Peter started talking like he has. It just rings false to me that they'd be the ones in the dark.

SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #16
DAN SLOTT (W) • HUMBERTO RAMOS (A/C)
“Run, Goblin, Run!” Part 2 of 2
• How has the Hobgoblin evaded the Superior Spider-Man for so long? And does that hold the key to the Superior Spider-Man’s greatest success -- or greatest failure? It’s the end of the line for Hobgoblin, and possibly an end for a big chapter in the history of Spider-Man.

I'm aware...MJ has had her WTF moments with Peter... and Carlie certainly has an eye open...
Even the people at Horizons have basically started to think that Peter has somehow elevated his own status...
And Aunt May would never notice, because SpOck has a soft spot for her and will treat her nice...
I'm aware...
But..
It's not enough like they seem dimwitted and slow to catch on. Because the clear difference in character between Peter and Otto is outstanding. That it'd seem like it'd be an overwhelming change.
That would immediately make anyone go ''WHOA. Yeah. That's not Peter. It can't be." and the only person that really seems to have reached that level is Carlie and that's just feels like Slott's usual favoritism towards her.
Even the whole issue with The Avengers almost catching on then not...felt off.
That combined with the way only certain writers write SpideyOck like Slott does seems like this is going on way longer than it really should. This would've been nice for like a short arc, but as an ongoing there's just far too many issues to keep it going at the rate it's going.
The only thing that bugs me about the new suit are the trainer effect on the feet. It seems too much like the trainer effect on the ASM movie suit which I didn't like either. I do think the costume needs more going on in the boots or leg department, but the little trainer effect is just off-putting. Everything else looks interesting so far though.
Is there a diff pic of the suit where you can see his feet? The 1 I see, his feet are hidden behind Hobgoblin.
Obviously, since shooting Massacre, MJ should not believe that is Peter Parker, though having said that, we haven't seen MJ at all since the Massacre killing...

I'm loving the new Spidey suit.

Well, duh, to have normal citizens assume mindswap would just...not gel as well as I feel IMO the reactions to OckSpidey are gelling with me.
I don't know it's a decent book, but it just feels slightly more hokey than I assumed it would be going into it.
Perhaps it's because I assumed Ock would actually actively be trying to be Peter Parker and he's not even trying the slightest.
What if Ben Reilly is going to defeat SpOck and become the new Peter?
