I sure hope this is a Peter Parker series.
"Curse you, Spider-Man! You may have foiled my initial plan to travel into Sub-Atomica and claim the power of the Sword in the Star from Prince Wayfinder's Tomb in the Dead Zone, but you will not stop me this time! Not so long as I have this SHRINK RAY GUN! I will become the SUPERIOR CAPTAIN UNIVERSE and rule this world from on high! THE DIE IS CAST!"
*Fires shrink ray gun at himself*
It's not Hickman grade, but the voice for Otto has become so mad scientist-y that I can't envision him speaking any other way.
"The Enigma Force is not a tool to be manipulated by mortals. The Enigma Force comes to those it deems worthy. What temerity, what arrogance, makes you think you are worthy? Have you not all made mistakes? Unforgiveable ones?" - Captain Universe
"Call me an Avenging Angel, Baron, come to safeguard Earth...call me CAPTAIN UNIVERSE!" - Ray Coffin
"You're my heart, Mary Jane Watson...you're my jackpot." - Peter Parker
At the very least this should be good for anyone who doesn't want to read basic or traditional Spider-Man.
I just don't think it's going to be the alternative to the main title people are hoping for.
The question is what exactly it's going to be. I don't see Hickman writing traditional Peter/Miles stories the way they're written in their ongoings + it has to be different, otherwise it wouldn't make any sense.
It’s funny I can’t think of a writer less suited to Spider-Man than Hickman. The giant stakes of his comics don’t really fit with spidey small stakes, working class hero status quo. That said I’m sure it’ll at least be interesting to see what he come up with.
