SCARLET SPIDERS
GIVE IT TO US, MARVEL!!!
-Pav, who doesn't ask for much...
You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
You know what it means when he comes back.

Spencer seems to be setting up other Spider-Heroes being relevant to his overall arc, so we might see some spinoffs set up through that.
The former two are minis and the latter too...I don't want to assume the worst, but I'm not betting on a long shelf life for either of them.

How about Web of Spider-Man. It seems like the only '80s Spider-Man series yet to get a second volume and I've always loved the Web of Spider-Man logo, especially the Spider-Man font (totally think it should be a font of a Spider-Man movie).
Realistically I can see a new 2099 series launching given that Miguel has an event coming up spinning out of Amazing.
To the very least I am surprised that Marvel hasn't done more mini series with a lot of the Spider characters that don't have their own ongoing. Anya, Cindy, Kaine, and Ben have all kind of just been left there hanging.

I really liked that Web Of Spider-Man volume, it was a nice little anthology expanding the events of the characters in that time period. The MJ/Black Cat team-up story was a highlight. (Plus it had the only other appearance of Paper Doll.)
I feel like an anthology in that vein may not end up doing as well sales wise, but I'd be all for seeing it again, gives an excuse to give some of the more underrepresented Spider characters (super powered or not) a little spotlight.
Lord I hope not, spiderman is going to become the new Batman with the oversaturation of him and his extended character family into the whole MU.
I think Miguel is also the only one not getting his actual book revived with the initial 2099 revival, so he might have a new series in the works.
Maybe the Spidergeddon mini's didn't sell as well as Marvel was hoping, or at least enough to do more with those characters.To the very least I am surprised that Marvel hasn't done more mini series with a lot of the Spider characters that don't have their own ongoing. Anya, Cindy, Kaine, and Ben have all kind of just been left there hanging.
It comes with being a franchise character, and the biggest IP in the company.
I think the biggest issue is figuring out how all these characters fit into media adaptions.
If they're planning to do ongoings for twelve issues, I wouldn't revive an old title. I'd just go with a clear maxi-series with a decent creative team and some kind of temporary hook, a Spider-Man version of The Long Halloween. So instead of a new Web of Spider-Man, it would be Spider-Man: Revenge of the Sinister Twelve, or Spider-Man: The Neogoblin Saga.

A miniseries seems a better idea than doing multiple limited volumes of Spider-Man. Eventually you'll get 10 volumes of Spectacular Spider-Man and it will be hard to track. Right now you can separate Spectacular from Vol. 1 (which includes Conway's introductory run, followed by Mantlo, Stern, Mantlo, PAD, DeMatteis) from Vol. 2 (Jenkins) and Vol 3. (Zdarsky) easily but that won't always be the case. FNSM was a new title launched by PAD in the JMS era and now Tom Taylor's revived it, and Taylor's run got better notices than PAD's did.
To me the best Spider-Man team in recent history is in the JMS era where you had a consistent across the board line up of talent on multiple teams and series at the same time. The yield of that era is pretty rich.
