Christopher Priest and Jonathan Hickman at the Marvel creative retreat?! Make Mine Marvel INDEED.

I wouldn't have recognized Hickman with his hair much longer now!

Never forget that Ant-Man and Superior Foes of Spidey were pretty good.

His Ant-Man is why I'm worried about him on Spider-Man.

Huh. I wonder what they did to lure Hickman back, though I recall Cebulksi had a good relationship with him.

Hickman back? That's some good news!

Also I would be happy to read Spencer on Spider-Man.

Don't think they needed to lure him back. He always insisted he was taking a break not breaking his ties. His relationship with Breevort was probably the most productive and inspirational writer/editor combo in modern Marvel.

Undoubtedly he won't want to take on anywhere near the workload he had previously, but I somehow can't imagine him writing anything too small. He is a grand concept kind of guy. He would also be ideal as a consultant / story concept guy if Marvel wanted to reconfigure their line.

Hickman's mindset on twitter currently is certainly interesting, haha:

So excited for both Priest and Hickman back on Marvel!

Well that was a short break. Whatever happened to Hickman's rumored DC project?

This is... once again, interesting, btw, in retrospect, regarding Hickman:

Priest on Incredible Hulk or Thor would be sweet.

It would be amazing!

not really, he was trolling. Don't know if this is your first time reading Hickman's twitter

It isn't. And I don't think that's trolling. I think they are half-truths. Like, he's joking, but not really. And it'd be clever if he goes back to Marvel not jump right back to the Avengers or Fantastic Four. The X-Men is the kind of grand concept that fits Hickman like a glove.

Wild guesses:

Christopher Priest's Incredible Hulk, Defenders, Black Panther, Spider-Man or new Miles book;
Jonathan Hickman's Uncanny X-Men, Eternals maybe? I'd love him on Spider-Man.

I think he'd be just as interested in a Doom solo

about 2 years or more

Is Remender coming back?

Same I noticed with Priest who despite not wanting to publicly be known as “that black writer who writes the black characters” he will surround a white character with black/Latin/Asian characters. Let Priest loose on the espionage side of the MU

Hickman was on record that he would choose X-Men to write but that the property wasn't a priority at Marvel. That was back in 2014. Now that there is a bigger X-Men push he would probably jump at the chance to help shape the X Books.
