I think of all the possibilities of a Nick Spencer book that Spider-Man is the book that plays to his actual strengths the most.

Also Ottley is a perfect choice to draw Spider-Man.

No, I don't want to play "Conversation Parade".
Maybe we’ll luck out and get Morning Glories Nick Spencer and now Secret Empi- okay, couldn’t make it thru the sentence.

At least we still have Spectacular...

Edit: I will agree that Ottley is a great artist choice, though.

I think new Electro is the original's dead wife who got cloned and has the powers or something?

She was a villain groupie named Francine who Electro killed accidentally when she tried to kiss him. During that whole "Clone Conspiracy" thing in ASM, Electro had her brought back via cloning, but the sample used to create her new body was via a cheek swab post-electrocution, which mixed up her DNA with Electro's somehow and she ended up with his powers.

I'd be happier if Hickman was writing Eternals or some other corner of the Marvel Universe where he can run wild and just do whatever he likes without worrying as to whether or not Iron Man or Captain America are supposed to be evil or dead or old from month to month.

I did rather enjoy Hickman's evil Spider-Man, but yeah, it's a bit incongruous.

Tbh I'm surprised both the tnc on cap and Spencer on Spidey rumors turned out to be true, whoever dropped those knew what they were talking about. Iirc they both came out way back last fall or something, someone should go back and see what other rumors came out around the same time

I have come from the future. Hickman is actually just going to write a companion series to his FF/F4/Avengers runs but from the perspective of Doop, the secret architect of everything that occurred throughout those years.

We poo poo on them when due, but Bleeding Cool was the site that broke both of those in like July or August last year I think.

Female Electro was created back during Clone Saga 2: Clone Harder. She's a clone of Electro's girlfriend I think and due to accidental shenanigans involving her DNA she absorbed Electro's powers and then accidentally killed him by givin him a smooch.

Scorpion I've got no idea. Maybe it's just Gargan in a new suit?

I mean, I've disliked the books people say he's good for (Superior Foes of Spider-Man, Astonishing Ant-Man), so I'm not really sure what's supposed to be so good about him being on ASM, and grrrr curse those guys on the internet for not liking Nick Spencer.

This is where I'm at right now as well. I didn't like what I read of his Captain America runs either, so I'm a little bummed out about Nick Spencer being put on Spider-Man. Can't win 'em all, I suppose.
