Creative Shuffle
Some of the biggest news recently has been the announcement of some very major
creative shuffles in Spidey's regular books. Here's a quick synopsis of what's
happening:
- Arguably two of the biggest names in comics have been signed on as
writers for a regular monthly title: Kevin Smith and J.M. Straczynski. Both
creators have signed exclusively with Marvel.
- Smith will write both a Black
Cat monthly and Amazing Spider-man, with Terry Dodson possibly pencilling both.
- JMS will launch a new monthly with John Romita Jr. titled "Spider-Man".
- Paul Jenkins will still be in the monthly mix, but it is still not clear on
what title.
- The title Peter Parker: Spider-Man will still be around, so
that means there will be 4 regular continuity monthly Spidey titles!
A
timeline for when these changes will take effect hasn't been mentioned. But,
things sure look good!
