(Recorded October 22, 2016)

Haven’t read it yet? Pick up this issue today at Comixology!

In this episode, Kyle, Brian and Jack catch up on meeting creators at NYCC, speculate on the upcoming Miles & Gwen crossover, share listener thoughts on writers’ experiences and *that* scene in Spider-Man #8, and preview next year’s Miles YA novel before discussing the spooktacular Halloween story that’s Spider-Gwen #13.

* 0:00 – Intro

* 1:36 – Kyle visits New York, but did anyone understand him? Meeting the creators (and appreciating their generosity).  Which guest artist is returning to Spider-Gwen?

* 7:32 –Miles and Gwen: The Great Romance? Or not?

* 11:33 –A reader shares a personal response to Luke Cage telling Miles to not screw up being a POC hero in Spider-Man #8.  Would the reaction be different if we didn’t know what Bendis looked like?

* 16:00 –Sneak peek at next year’s “Miles Morales”, his young adult novel debut by award-winning author Jason Reynolds

* 19:51 –Spider-Gwen #13: A Scooby-Doo style mystery quickly goes from cool to creepy.  Getting into Gwen’s head (again). Jack hates Halloween, but we all love Betty.

* 33:26 – Our three-word summaries (Spoiler: Brian’s is the best). What do *you* think of issue #13? Let us know!

* 35:58 – Outro. Want to write reviews for Superior Spider-Talk? Get in touch with the team! Looking forward (sort of) to November.

* 40:10 – ???
