I also believe it will be Peter, but surely with some high concept Hickman-y twist.

Not in any way at all, no. She was a character created by Mark Waid and James Robinson, and revived by Czardsky, and not her characterization, or design, resemble Ultimate Jessica Drew much at all.
I believe what you’re referring to is an entirely fan-generated idea that’s a feeling someone had, and nothing that has been indicated by the creators, any official source, or really supported at all by the material. A quick google search showed people suggesting the idea as a possibility on this forum 3 years ago, and nothing else connecting the two.

Thanks!
Since ASTRO CITY started out only a few years before that AVENGERS run and continued long afterward, I don't think it could, really.
It was a lot of fun to do, and George had even more fun than I did. It was really a dream project for him, and he made sure to enjoy every single panel.
It has its moments!On that note, I should really track down your Avengers run, I keep hearing good things.
Half the run is currently available in nice economical volumes as ASTRO CITY METROBOOK 1-3, and vol 4 will be along next month...

It has all the things that one didn't know one wanted from a JLA/Avengers crossover until one saw them. (I think the best bit is some of the heroes realising that saving the world means living through their nineties dark age plot lines and saving the world anyway.)
Among other things, I think it should get the credit for relaunching Carol Danvers.On that note, I should really track down your Avengers run, I keep hearing good things.

Hickman did well in capturing friendy and familial dynamics in FF and FF, and a bit in X-Men. If he channels that energy, I'd be happy.
My biggest complaint is that Hickman is funny with the occasional sarcastic one-liner, but he's not great with zingers or comebacks. (Jean/Emma banter excluded, but come on. Shooting fish in a barrel.) But that still puts him over many writers, who aren't fun at all.
I really hope we get the chance to read the story of a Peter Parker who shines in a dark world, who's brilliant, and funny, and always tries to do what's best for the others. Everything Peter-1610 was and everything Peter-616 is no longer.
We still don't know if it's going to be Peter under the mask, but I love Hickman's Spidey in his FF and Amazing Fantasy #1000.

Ultimate Invasion 4 doesn’t hint at all about who will be Spider-Man. Guessing we’re waiting for NYCC.
My own hunch with spoilers for UI: spoilers:end of spoilers
Hickman’s revamp of the 6160 Marvel Universe is utterly weird to the point yet I can’t see Spidey being anyone but Peter. There’s no F4 and it doesn’t look like there ever will be since they’re dead and 6160 Reed is a heroic Dr. Doom. Tony is Iron Lad instead of Iron Man. They’re going to need an anchor book that is at least somewhat familiar and I expect that is what USM will be. It will be college aged Peter becoming Spider-Man in somewhat traditional adventures to get ease people into this new universe. Maybe Uncle Ben will be long dead or maybe they’ll take a page out of the MCU and it will just be Aunt May this time - maybe even have her be the one who dies. I think Peter will have been groomed to be a technocrat like the ones who run the 6160 Earth, and his story will be about rebelling against that.
