This was a really nice, dark, twisted, surprise.

This is all about Doctor Octopus life and how he started as a kid who was bullied to become the monster he becomes. The thing is, this is much more horror approach than I expected. He starts as a dude bullied, but so was Peter, but instead of focusing on a better future becomes bitter. With mother issues, failed experiments, and just becoming outright insane, this tale takes a few dark twist I didn't see coming.

I'll say this, I loved Peter here. While he was only in part of it, watching him fight Doc Oct the first time was horrifying. It was also great to see how brutal Doctor Octopus can be when he fully unleashed. The art was different but worked in a lot of ways. I thought the ending was dark and sad but worked. Overall, almost everything worked here.

I really dug this. A 4 out of 5.
