Superior Spider-Man Panel Recap
The Spider-Man panel at San Diego Comic Con just wrapped up and had some great information regarding our favorite symbiotes.  Below are comments and preview art from the panel:








Wacker briefly talks the arrival of sidekick Mania to Venom, which leads to an announcement — Venom and Superior Spider-Man are facing off in "Darkest Hours," starting with November's Superior Spider-Man #22. It's co-written by Slott and Gage, and illustrated by Ramos. 
It's the first meeting between Superior Spider-Man and the Flash Thompson Venom, Wacker points out. "There's going to be a certain amount of friction, and this is leading to something pretty massive in the book that Chris and Dan are going to do over four-issues, that's going to leave Venom in a very different state at the end of it — and Spider-Man," Wacker says. 
Slott has joined the panel via speakerphone. "We've worked really hard to keep these characters apart, even when they were both on Avengers team."

 From Marvel's coverage:
"This is the first time Flash is going to be up against Superior Spider-Man. We worked really hard to keep these characters away from each other up until this point." - Dan Slott 
Youngster dressed as Venom asking how Flash will feel about his hero, Spider-Man, acting like a jerk. "That's a big part of the story. Flash has always idolized Spider-Man. He's always wanted to team with him." - Dan Slott


From ComicBookResources' coverage:
Turning to the character Venom, in November Venom will fight Superior Spider-Man in the “Superior Spider-Man” arc “Darkest Hours” written by slot with Ramos. 
“These characters have never actually met...there’s going to be a certain amount of friction and this is leading to something pretty massive in the book...that will leave Venom in a very different state,” Wacker added. 
Singh then called Slott, putting him on speakerphone, Slott telling the audience, “This is the first time Flash will see this Spider-Man,” before praising Ramos as “The hardest working man in comics.”
