As much as I hate the ending as well, I do believe that letting Otto be spiderman is not a permanent decision. Fine, Otto becomes spiderman in peter's body. But the Peter Parker I know does not go down that easily. Some part of me knows that deep down, he'll be fighting Otto out of his system and be back out before we know it.

Think about it. Peter got revealed during civil war. What happened? They retaconned his history. Peter got replaced by Ben Reilly ( I still kinda liked him). What happened? He came back. Look at Peter pre-698, He's almost got mj back, he's financially doing well, lots of things going his way. It's almost like a big sign on his forehead going " uh oh something bad is gonna happen now" But when Peter comes back, it's gonna be awesome. All his arcs are gonna be a million times better because everyone will be comparing what crummy otto did with what Peter will do when he is back.

I am gonna read the hell out of superior spiderman. Not because I think I should give Otto a chance, but because I owe Peter Parker for all the amazing stories over the years and I will not let spiderman die until they bring him back.

Last thing, they don't live in the Ultimate universe. They live in earth 616. We should all know this by now but, many heros who 'die' in 616 don't stay dead for long. He'll be back. He has to. Till then, we wait.
