SUPERIOR FOES OF SPIDER-MAN

Marvel Comics has announced Superior Foes of Spider-Man, an ongoing series by Nick Spencer and Steve Lieber, to launch in July.

Here's how Marvel describes the book:

" With superior power comes superior responsibility...and superior villains! Boomerang, Shocker, Speed Demon, the Beetle, and Overdrive take a cue from the Superior Spider-Man and get upgraded for a new era of evil -- and the score of a lifetime! It’s a tale of suspense that'll turn the Marvel Universe upside down -- as only The Superior Foes of Spider-Man can!"

"This is a book about the working class guys; these are not the Kingpins or Green Goblins or Doc Ocks of the world," Spencer said. "These are the small-time crooks looking for a quick score so they can pay their alimony and get the loan shark off their back.

"A lot of the book is from Boomerang's perspective, and he's very much aware of that -- and he sees this new Sinister Six he's formed as one last big shot at real money and real power. He's got a lot riding on this."
