(Recorded October 22, 2016)

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?
• 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 – ???
