    Default What do you think Nick Spencer's impact will be on the brand?

    All the writers who have been on Spider-Man long enough have made their impact felt on the brand, both within the comics, and in other mediums. Even as recently as Dan Slott, you have Otto Octavius as Spider-Man (which also completely changed his characterization for better or for worse), his rogues Mr. Negative and Screwball being characters in Spider-Man PS4, and of course Spider-Verse inspiring the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movie. Though the Superior Spider-Man bit was undone by...sigh... Mephisto (goddammit).

    So with that said, what do you think will be Nick Spencer's overall impact on the brand later on both in the comics and on the outside? It'll be fun to see how our predictions line up in the future.

    Some that come to mind:
    • Boomerang's characterization and arc will be heavily patterned off of Spencer's portrayal of him, from his personality, nuances and relationship with Peter, not to mention his appearance itself (which was already seen in Ultimate Spider-Man).
    • Lady Beetle will be heavily characterized by Spencer's portrayal of her, and we're likely to see her in other mediums. Her character was heavily retooled by Spencer, after she debuted fighting Bucky and Black Widow, she was tied to the Spider-Man mythos and the Scott Lang Ant-Man, and we have him to thank for that.
    • Kindred being set up as a major villain for Spider-Man, which will undoubtedly be a major villain contribution for Spencer both in the comics and out.

    Anything else to note?
