They were all right. Venom, Avengers, Cap, Spidey etc. Most were known for months or even a year.Ottley is fucking NICE on Spidey. I love it.
So far Rich is what, 2/2 on creative calls for Marvel? I'd bet that there's some degree of truth to his Hickman rumor then too.

Invincible? Thanks, I couldn't remember where from I heard Ottley's name. Spencer's good writer but his alt-right shit is killing my hype.I liked Ottley on Invincible, but that cover looks like low-rent Chris Bachalo.
What's the Hickman rumor?Ottley is fucking NICE on Spidey. I love it.

If you read comics, yeah, maybe. Depends on what you're into. Ottley was the artist on Invincible. Spencer wrote Sam Cap, Hydra Cap and Secret Empire last year.

You were answered, so stop rising to bait.What the hell? How about you answer my question instead of shitposting?
Secret Empire wasn't any trashier than Superior or Spiderverse.
No, people tend to hold those up as Scott's best ideas in his 10 year run.wait, people hate on superior and spider verse now?
I'm out of the loop
You asked so I explained why they singled out those two stories specifically.

Hickman rumor?

I'm liking a lot of the creative teams shown off so far for the new launch. I like Spencer as well, not his bigger stuff, but the street level stuff for sure.
It looks like Jonathan Hickman may have signed his next contract with Marvel Comics — but we understand that previously he was all ready to go at DC Comics.
The switch came down to a number of things. C.B. Cebulski as Marvel's new Editor-in-Chief was a major reason for Hickman to change his mind about Marvel.
But at DC Comics, he was planning to write the new Legion of Super-Heroes series. However, I understand that there were internal delays, with Geoff Johns having specific characters and teams that are off the table until Doomsday Clock concludes, and that series has been getting a lot later, switching from monthly to bi-monthly.
Oh lol whoops! On mobile so I thought you were the same guy replying to me.
Damn, kind of disappointed now. As much as Marvel desperately needs the shot in the arm Hickman coming back would provide I think I would rather have seen his take on DC characters.
"When you get excited to write Spider-Man, it's because you're also excited to write Jonah and Aunt May and MJ and Black Cat. You know, just there's so many incredible characters in this orbit, so getting to play with that cast, getting to make them a big part of our story is key. And I can say pretty much all of your favorites will be making an appearance at some point."
I already dropped Spidey over OMD ten years ago... can I drop it again without even reading it?
... please?
I mean, if you like Spider Man comics you should probably read Brand New Day and forward. so much goodness.
Eh. The shuffling creative teams meant that run was always going to be a mixed bag. And repeating a lot of the same plot points. (How many times in a row did Peter run out of web fluid?)
And Slott's run, post-Superior, was mostly awful (with, ironically, RYV being the sole exception).
It's sad that as dour as I am on the potential of this run, it will still be better than Slott's phoned in saturday morning cartoon spidey that we've had for like 10 years. I'm tired of defining every supporting cast member by how many stupid pills they took this morning rather than genuine character conflict.
I loved the shuffling creative teams. mixed bag = variety.
definitely a dip in quality post-Superior but I enjoyed Spider Verse and I'm liking the more recent stuff with Mockingbird and losing his job though I'm a little behind, I just started this symbiote event thing. seems not so great after reading two issues.
I'm into it.
Spencer burned bridges with Secret Empire but it wasn't any shittier than some of the events other good writers (Bendis, Aaron, Reminder) have plopped out at Marvel. His street level/goofy stuff has been consistently solid. And Ottley is obviously an A+ get for Marvel here.
Anthologies are a hard sell. BND was essentially a Spider-Man Anthology run with recurring subplots to make it seem like they were building up to something. I gave up on it as I found the stories ranged too wildly for my tastes.
ASM Post-Superior was awful. Spider-Verse was mostly meaningless cameos drowning out the overall lack of any kind of coherent story and characterization. There were far too many bland villains. It could have worked better if they had less villains and we had a smaller group of Spiders (Peter, Miles, Gwen, Mayday, Miguel, and one or two more) working to save all the Spiders.
Clone Conspiracy was awful. "Spider-Man needs more clone stories" is not a thought anyone should ever have.
The Mockingbird relationship was completely pointless. Slott would have been better served building MJ back up sinceshe literally just shows up just before his final story and seemingly gets back with Peter.
The only Slott story worth a damn post-Superior was, ironically, RYV.
ASM is a mess and it desperately needs this new blood it's getting.
