Himself and Waid are leaving Daredevil so I'd be totally fine with them taking over the book.

It's probably going to be a side-title, I'd be amazed if Slott was finally leaving ASM.

Also it stems from some people's desire for Avengers to be more like the Justice League where the team is the biggest names in the universe

Well see that's kind of at the core of it. While the Avengers have never been "the best of the best" per se, they are still a prestigious team, while Spidey's character had been focused so long on being an outcast and an underdog. JMS handled him joining the Avengers really well, actually, framing it as him finally getting recognition for the cumulative impressive poo poo and heroic deeds he's performed over the years. It fit nicely into how he was finding his place in his personal life and generally growing up. It felt like he was coming home.


Now I'm sad.

If it ends up being Slott/Samnee on ASM I'll be pissed that Marvel is wasting a talented artist on him again like Allred on Silver Surfer.

No, wait. Tell me again what happened next after this, him getting back together with his wife, getting a steady job, etc. What was the next thing that happened, again?

Well hasn't Waid stated he didn't like the marriage to MJ (weird considering his work on the Flash with Linda)?

Plus Slott's gone on the record as saying he's writing Renew Your Vows.

Just because he thinks it works for one character doesn't mean he feels the same about a completely different one.

As much as I dislike Slott's writing, I don't think I've ever heard him express strong feelings about the marriage either way. That's always been Quesada's beef. I mean I could be wrong, OMD was a while ago now.

I think he doesn't do big two comics, he does occasional creator-owned stuff.

He wrote one of the best Spider-Man stories ever (FF#17) so I think he can do it if he wanted.

Hickman would be a good thing for Spider-man. He'd take it in a direction different than the same old poo poo. Then again, maybe the Deadpool team would be fun too.

Hickman is a plotter, and it is hard as poo poo to give a gently caress about his characters.

So Spiderman probably isn't something he could do.

What, he did a stupid wacky roommates story, and an ok 8-page backup where Spidey can't buy a hot dog. That isn't exactly a ringing endorsement considering the rest of his work is just opaque grand designs with flimsy characters.

You guys are so full of poo poo it's probably coming out of your ears. I'd have a hard time finding an uninteresting character in that run.

And the correct answer for Spider-Man writer is Mark Waid or Zeb Wells.

Eh, it probably is at some point.

It makes a nice event, sells some comics.

Also I liked Hickman's FF. Just not for the characters.

If they existed.

Yes, and that story was brilliant, but it wasn't a Spider-Man story. It was a Johnny Storm story that had Peter Parker in it.

Unless you're talking about a twelve-issue story arc where the Centaurian lady comes back to Earth trying to get Spider-Man into bed and Wacky Hijinks Ensue, which I would, granted, buy the hell out of... but something tells me that's not the kind of book Marvel's gonna get behind.

Aja is a bit... I don't know the word, gritty? Blurry? Okay for Hawkeye loving around, but I'm not sure it's bright enough for Spider-Man. Jamie McKelvie, maybe?

Also, gently caress no to Hickman on Spider-Man. He'd revisit the Other, but make it a cross-decade journey through the totemic etc., etc., etc. which has been fine on the stuff he's been on, but not Spider-Man.
