J.M. DeMatteis returns for SPIDER-MAN: SHADOW OF THE GREEN GOBLIN

Exactly.

It's that extra touch in JMD's character writing that elevates the whole cast he's working with and makes his stories so memorable. For example, I don't care much about the Vulture typically. IMO he's a villain who exists and aside from what Marvel Studios did with him in Homecoming, I haven't really ever been all that impressed with Adrian Toomes as a character. What DeMatteis does with Toomes in the "Funeral Arrangements" storyline in his Spectacular run is phenomenal.

JMD writes characters with a depth that's largely been lacking in ASM for a very long time now. I've really missed the characters feelings like real people with real emotions.
