I just got Superior Spider-Man 9 today and the ending was really ambiguous. I was madder when you guys spoiled the ending than when I read the comic to confirm that Parker is dead. You can't tell if it was Peter or Otto that won and said he is free, and the only hints at Otto winning was Peter losing his memories, the black panel and the evil smile. But Peter can be happy that he got Otto out of his head, but it doesn't explain the evil look in his eyes. While both Peter and Otto were dressed as Spider-Man at the end of the duel, Peter's look was more classic and Otto has his fabric bulging out of his webs and his eye lens sticking out. But Parker was unmasked at the end and he lost his memories and there was a black panel. Back in reality Peter/Otto said with a sigh of relief: "He's gone. And I? I... Am... FREE!" and he smiled. So there was a bit of ambiguity. It didn't show Peter's spirit being destroyed. It didn't directly tell us that that was Otto in reality. I can't wait for issue 10.
