Remender had also pitched a Rocket Racer series with frequent collaborator and Walking Dead co-creator Tony Moore.

I'm not sure if Remender would've been a good fit for ASm. Again, he seems more the type to be at home in a satellite title where he can really lean into his style and sensibilities then the main Spider-Man book.

You mean like he did with Venom starring Flash Thompson? And Rocket Racer, huh? Looks intriguing, to be honest.

One interesting thing about the pitch is that it could be a satellite pretty easy. It's a new set of villains, so there's going to be no conflict with the writer of Amazing Spider-Man over what bad guys are available.

And there's nothing about Peter Parker's private life.

I'm not sure a satellite book with new and obscure villains would have sold.

I guess at the time he was pitching this was when a guest writer on ASM wouldn't have been unheard of.

Rocket Racer looks pretty sweet. If Sony ever does a RR movie they know who to call.

Rocket Racer can be a really intriguing character -- I liked him a lot in Modok's 11, for example -- and I feel like we might've missed something that could've been special for the character.

I've long had a pitch for a Black Cat & the Prowler series that featured Rocket Racer as the secret powerhouse of the cast.

This pitch doesn't seem too bad. It sounds like what was done with the Ultimate Universe or the 90s Spider-Man cartoon.
