Been awhile since I read volume 2 but this picks up pretty much right where the last left off.

Spider-Slayer is about to be executed and J. Jonah ask Spider-man to be there. Of course with Doctor Octopus at the helm of Spider-man's body he says yes but with other reasons of why he's doing it. So when he goes to the prison you just KNOW something is going to go wrong. But what works is how lethal and fucked up Superior Spider-man is, always thinking ahead of the villains because, well, he was one.

The second half deals with Hobgoblin and Shadowland (Not sure if this was part of the event, I couldn't even remember that terrible Daredevil Event but I don't think so) anyway Kingpin takes control of a part of New York and says he's unstoppable. So Superior Spider-man plans to break through in a brutal way, which is wonderful. Then we deal with Otto using the civilians of New York to hunt down Hobgoblin. This Spider-man ain't playing.

Overall, it's a lot of fun. Some of it drags a bit due to excessive dialogue but overall the plot is entertaining and this Superior Spider-man is much more brutal and keeps the series from getting boring. Also, the art is stellar. A 4 out of 5.
