With recent event in mind wouldn't it be better to mention Spider-Man 2099? He also did one of the best Spider-Man stories with The Death of Jean DeWolf.

Grant Morrison. I loved his take on X-Men and Superman (I have yet to read his Batman stuff), who why not have a go on Spider-Man? Then again, it could get really weird.

Then again, maybe that's what Spider-Man needs. I'd rather read that than bore myself with Superior Spider-Man. However, I like the Lee/Romita run A LOT more than the Lee/Ditko run. Even so, I'd still like to see Morrison's version of old-school Spidey.

• Chris Yost - As many have said, he's been stellar with Kaine and I think he'd show Peter the same respect
• Rick Remender - I know he has his critics but he really did magnificent work with Venom, I think he'd do well with Peter
• Cullen Bunn - Essentially like Remender, he's treated Flash pretty well and while he hasn't been hugely consistent there I feel it was more due to taking the reigns of a more unestablished character. I'd like to see him given a chance at least.

These three have all in recent memory been on a Spider-title and done wonderful things with it. I think any of them could do well with Peter.

Christopher Yost from Marvel, or Jeff Lemire from DC...

Don't know.

I want someone who has never written spider-man before, Maybe soule?

Actually, anybody... I'm that desperate now.

+1

@ryagan: Perhaps a return to the original formula would be good but in truth, that's what the execs at Marvel are trying to do albeit in a warped, distorted manner.

I posted already but..... YOST YOST YOST!!!!

I would almost rather have anyone at this time.

THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT!!
They want us to be like "Oh Pete's back!!,ok now i dont care who writes,cause Peter's back!!" NO!!!

The whole thing is going(with the set up stories,and the foundations) to be ,that Peter's back after Goblin Nation,and Slott continues to deal with Peter facing all the mess Ock has done.

+2

Maybe a female writer, just to boost the calibure of characters in the supporting cast like MJ and May

I'm never leaving. ;-)

@danslott: Yeah, some day you will. Maybe when you have gray beard, when you go bald and gain some weight…. On a second thought... you are right, you will never leave.

Bring Pete back,provide him with good stories,and you can stay as long as you want!

That's evil.You're evil.

lol,Dan slott is like the Lord Farquaad of marvel

good ol personal attacks on somebody because of fiction. Nice

You know what......that may work fine!
We haven't seen a good female supporting cast Spider-Man story in years.....last one was the Spider-Man loves Mary Jane books......which was totally about MJ and Peter and the others was the supporting cast.....a female writer writing Spider-Man,would be,at least interesting.....i'd read that!!.....(well,i'd read a bisexual,Hulk-shaped Spider-Man story,as long as it says "Spider-Man" on the cover,so i'm not a fair example :P )

Nobody stays on a title forever =P

@punyparker: A bisexual hulkish spider man? I think I'll draw a line there.

OH yeah about what I say about Mr. Slott, it is all joke don’t take me to serious, I have a dark sense of humor.

*cough*BrianBendis*cough*

It was a joke-ish response too,from me....

@punyparker: Well outside of ultimate spider-man of course >.>

He'd be PERFECT. He's humor and his wit would fit Spidey like glove

You could have turned that into a dirtier and funnier joke

Still,the man writes Spider-Man for 13 years and 160-something issues.........not counting the Avengers books....and he does it successfully.....i concider him a Spidey legend.
If he somewhen writes Amazing,he will be THE Spidey legend...

He mentions Spider-Man in every book he writes,and he wanted to be an artist,on Spider-Man when he was a kid.....long story short,his favorite superhero is Spider-Pete.
And to stay on topic,he would be very good for ιnheriting Slott's legacy..... ;)

Yost, Bunn, or Waid would be nice.

My favorite writer. I never considered him on Spider-Man, but I think he would do a good job. Now that I think about it more, Marvel make this happen!!!

MARVEL: Christopher Yost or Mark Waid

DC: Scott Snyder or John Layman

Personally I would love to see Scott Snyder work on the resurrection of Peter Parker the Amazing Spider-Man more than anything else. It's going to take a miracle and the work of professional writers to bring any sort of decency and quality creativeness back to a series that has been desecrated and despicably treated with such contempt and bastardization.

@magnetic_eye: Oh my God, I love your comments, haha!!!

I love Morrison,but i think he's not Spider-Man material........not to talk trash about the guy,as i said,he's a fantastic writer,but i love Snyder...absolutelly love what he does with Batman.....but i wouldnt want him writing Spider-Pete......would not work...
Then again,it's called "creative writing"....who knows....Frank Miller did a fantastic job with Spider-Man.....

You think it'll work?.....Snyder is a dark writer.....i like Morrison,but i would never want him writing Spider-Man......in my mind it wouldnt work...
I love Snyder,and his Batman is my favorite book right now(Ultimate Pete's dead.....Amazing Pete's dead....what can i do?!) but my feeling is that certain writers are accommodated to certain types of storytelling...

Yes I think it could work. It's true that Snyder is a dark writer, but he is very proficent, and he brings an exceptional quality of drama, excitement and action with creative and mature textual dynamics to his style of writing.

Also, any humor Scott Snyder brings to the table won't be cheesy.

"Batman" by Snyder and "Detective" by Layman are my top 2 books trumping the 4 Marvel books left in my pull list. They are well written and the artwork is bold and cleanly defined. The aesthetics in these books embodies the super-hero genre in a way the cartoon caricatures of SSM can never achieve.

"Kraven's Last Hunt" by J.M. DeMatteis remains a personal favorite story-arc of mine. It's a classic (grim/dark) Spider-Man tale masterfully executed and unparalleled by very few. I'm not advocating by the way that all Spidey stories should be dark. I just want to read good quality creative stories that entertain, are maturely written, are somewhat a litlle closely grounded to reality instead of a "Despicable Me / Megamind" - Spider Fortress / Army Of Minions nonsense.

I do agree that certain writers are accommodated to certain types of storytelling, which is why to me SSM looks and reads like a really bad Saturday Morning kiddies cartoon trying desperately hard to be grim/dark.

Too bad Marvel turned him down. He was supposed to write a Spidey book with Hitch doing the art, but Marvel said no.

We agree on almost everything,but i still cant match Snyder and Spider-Man in my head.......for me,the most compatible writer for Spider-Man is Brian Bendis(he's my favorite too,you ever read Scarlet ?...) and his tone in writing Spider-Man,is light....he has written darker stories,like in The Pulse ,where it was Spider-Man,like he always is,but the whole story was dark.

On the same side i cant see people like Slott,or Peter David writing Batman.......see what i mean?!

Kraven's Last Hunt,is a masterpiece.....i really dont need to add anything to it.

SSM is a gimmick,and i am just enjoying whatever the book tossed to me,without a care,because i have realised that Pete will return in 2014 eventually,so.....i just wait.

If it's Joss Whedon, i'm not reading it. He's the most overrated writer..possibly in comic history. I would rather Bendis than Whedon, hell..I would rather Loeb than Whedon.

Mark Waid.

This.

Wait, Joss Whendon was supposed to write a Spider book?

Anyone else picking up these genuine Spider-Man books? I've put in an order at my local CBS. So far have only read Marvel Knights and it's pretty good.

Marvel Knights: Spider-Man by Matt Kindt and Marco Rudy.

Peter Parker: Spider-Man by David Morrell, Klaus Janson and Joe Casey.

Spider-Man Family Business by Mark Waid and James Robinson, with art by Gabirelle Dell’Otto.

I used to want Mark Waid, but honestly I love how I can't predict what Slott's going to do next, so I'd want another writer who writes really unpredictable stories so I'll say Peter David.

That's cool. I guess from my point of view, I can see how Scott Snyder would adapt his writing style to suit Spider-Man. I wouldn't necessarily expect him to write Spider-Man in the same way he does Batman.

I don't mind Brian Bendis, but I think Spider-Man needs someone fresh at the helm, in fact an all new creative team is needed to restore ASM from the imposter SSM and that book's current murky doldrums.

Sorry I don't read Scarlet Spider. I have glimpsed at several issues at my local comic book store and really liked what I saw. Chris Yost is a great writer and has a good working knowledge of Ben Reilly. The artwork looked good too. But for me it's become a financial matter. There are only so many books I'm buying these days. Comic books in Australia are $2 - $3 more per issue than they are in the US.

Peter David writing Batman??? Yeah, I can almost see that. :-) It would be interesting to say the least. Peter David is another writer I think could easily adapt to writing diffrerent characters outside of his usual comfort zone.

I'm game!

What you said wasn't any kind of "dark sense of humor."

It was just rude and insulting.
