RUMOUR: Nick Spencer Writing New ''Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man'' title?

[Mister Mets]

Isn't Spec going to be the Spider-Man team-up book though? At least that's what it seemed to be developing into.

Friendly Neighborhood could be the more traditional, complimentary, satellite book.

That would be a way to distinguish it from ASM and Spec currently.

If Spec is going to be a team-up book (I would not know because I have not seen the solicitations or read the first issue yet) then I guess Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man could be a traditional satellite book.

Put it this way. In Spec #1 alone, we saw Human Torch, Ant-Man, Sam Wilson, and Ironheart. The cover for #2 also promises the Thing, the Champions (Miles, Nova, Cyclops, Ms Marvel and Hulk all shown), Howard the Duck (not really surprising, since Zdarsky previously wrote his book), Squirrel Girl, and Vision.

Now there's speculation that when the Captain America title does come back [it wasn't listed among the Legacy titles], it will be written by Ta Nehisi Coates, so that frees Nick up for something

If the speculation is true about Coates, than I think that could be cool as I've largely enjoyed his Black Panther book personally.

A Ta-Nehisi Coates Captain America...dear lord .

The idea of Ta-Nehisi Coates Captain America is intriguing to me - although I really wanted Spencer to be able to follow up on SE himself. Then again, maybe there'd be no way for him to tell a bigger Cap story. Well, we'll see.

Well, Brubaker definitely didn't top himself after Reborn so I can see where he might be coming from (if that ends up being the case).

Yeah, as classic as Brubaker's run was, that last volume was a bridge too far. He should've left on a high note. That last volume didn't tarnish what came before but it definitely saw his run limp to a conclusion. I'm sure if he could do it all over again, he just would've exited earlier.

That was probably his last work I universally enjoyed .

If handled well I could see a good Cap run coming out of his ideas.
Also, I'm always 100% behind POC writers writing non-POC characters.

I know why companies do it but sometimes I feel writers just get shackled to characters that share the same gender or race as them cuz reasons.

Or perhaps joining Slott and Gage as co writers so Slott can have a new title?

I doubt it personally, mainly because afia Slott isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Having said that, I can see him being a ''co-writer'' much like Christos Gage has been. Wait and see I guess as I often say LOL.

[rward777]

How long before Slott refutes that rumor?
