For those that don't know,not too long ago in Spiderman there was an event where Peter Parker basically had his body hi-jacked by a than dying Doctor Octopus. The Doc succeeded and got his revenge, trapping Peter in his own body up to his last moments (killing him) and ultimately taking over his life, thus becoming the Superior Spiderman.

However Peter's memories remained and left a ghost consciousness that hovered over Oct, guiding his morality and holding him back for the most part. Recently the Doc took notice and decided to change that.

Thus we have this interesting scene in Issue 9#. It's the result of Octopus taking control of his own brain and attempting to remove Parker forcibly. As far as comics go (I mean for Spiderman at least) I think it's one of the darker scenes to be shown, Oct basically moves in and attacks him, soon is confronted by the memories of Peters friends and loved ones only to kill them with the memories of his fears and anxieties, his enemies. One of the lesser seen depictions of mind rape basically.

Than it ends with his monologue and put down of Peter and everything he did, as he leaves him to die and the last remains of Peter are destroyed internally.

I just thought it was a pivotal and kind of interesting scene. A lot of other stuff has happened (with the new Spiderman taking control of the city, forming his own army and growing ever bolder) and I'm curious where it'll lead, with this chapter making it clear the writers aren't going to bring Peter back on a dime just like that.

So, eh?
