Eventually the siege of Dan Slott will come to a end and someone will have to pick up the reigns and it's my hope that Joshua Hale Fialkov will be that man. If anybody has read the "Just Right" story in the #692 50th anniversary issue of Amazing Spider-Man should know why, it's one of the best Spider-Man stories I'v read for a while. So who would you guys like to see write the web head?

Fialkov could work.

Fraction would be nice too.

Waid is just a good writer so he would be great.

@jairamganpat: I didn't like the issues he wrote with the Spider-Man/DD team up

Bendis writes an awesome Spider-man...in fact he probably writes Spider-man better than any other character

Bendis. And Sarah Pichelli should draw it.

@dark_guyver: @danhimself: True but I don't think Bendis will come off a however-many-years run on Ult Spider-Man just to jump on the 616 one

Someone who can undo all the damage Slott has done

Why not just have Chis Yost write every Spider related thing in the world forever?

Waid. The right answer is always Mark Waid :-P

@jairamganpat: This is the correct answer. Yost should run the spider universe in 616.

@jayskee:

Well said, that will be a big challenge. A larger task would be repairing the relationship Marvel has with fans since Slott has done a lot of damage.

Mark Waid or Matt Fraction are who I am hoping for.

Not any of the following;

• Bendis (terrible)
• Aaron (terrible)
• Remender (terrible)
• Hickman (pretentious and terrible)
• Fraction (terrible)
• Wells (terrible)
• Way (terrible)
• Waid (Good at DC, but struggles/screws up with a lot of Marvel characters. Spider-Man being one of them)

So Yost would be good.

Currently Yost.His Avenging Spider-Man has been great and he also understands the character and sets the stories in the right tone.

Yost would be good

Yost. He's once said that Spider-man is his favorite character and it shows in his writing of Scarlet Spider and Avenging that he loves the characters. Give him the 616 Spider-verse the guy knows how to write!

Mark Waid

Yost was born to write spider-man.

What about brian wood or w haden blackmen

At this point I think a 2 year old with a crayon could write stories that are more true to the character.

Chris Yost, or Christos Gage.

And noone is making any movies for him to complete his destiny....

What, no Morrison?

**gasp**

@lykopis: Morrison isn't a fan of spider-man ;)

O_O

I did not know that. Or rather, maybe I forgot because something rings familiar about that. Probably compliments of FTBB, lol.

Life isn't fair sometimes.

@lykopis said:

Morrison's at DC atm.

He's not a fan of Wolverine either, still wrote the best Logan of the last 40 years lol

@fadetoblackbolt:

Debatable.

@lykopis said:

(Pats head) Sure it is ^_^

You're right. It's utter crap. **arches eyebrow**

Yost or Fialkov would be my picks for the next Spider-Man writers. I'm tempted to give Cornell a chance but given his work on Wolverine, it seems he's not well adapted to writing at Marvel which is Waid's problem too for the most part. Aside from Fantastic Four, Indestructible Hulk and Daredevil (for me), Waid's Marvel work isn't a patch on his DC work.

So ...Slott claims he is a fan of Spider-man and look what crap he did.

To be fair on morrison, he was going to write a spider-man story

SPIDER-MAN (1990)

A proposed graphic novel in the wake of the success of

Arkham Asylum

, with art by Simon Bisley. Morrison expressed a desire to return to the Ditko Spider-Man. "It's not Spider-Man in Arkham Asylum or anything - it's action all the way with things blowing up from page one but it still won't be a great deal like the Spider-Man that everyone is used to"

According to the webchat Morrison gave at Next Planet Over in 1999, the story was to begin with an attack by Mysterio, resulting in Spider-Man waking in a parallel world where Aunt May died and Peter never married.

"The Spider-Man of that world is a creepy, skinny Ditko guy, who lives on his own and is shunned by the neighbors." said Morrison, "He only comes alive when he's out on the rooftops leaping about and squirting jets of white stuff over everything. Freud would have loved the story as the creepy but ultimately decent Spider-Man meets his counterpart from a place where Peter married a supermodel and made lots of money. The story was based around that tension and the ultimate redemption of the creepy Ditko character. I'd do something different now."

Mark Millar later suggested that Morrison had also completed scripts for a Spider-Man mini-series to be drawn by his Batman: Gothic collaborator Klaus Janson. Most likely the two stories are variations on the same themes above. Neither the mini-series or the graphic novel ever saw print. Interviewed about his time at Marvel many years later, Morrison expressed little enthusiasm for tackling Spider-Man, believing that Stan Lee, Steve Ditko and John Buscehe had set the bar for the character so high on the original run that any take on the character would by necessity be in their shadow and largely redundant. He instead preferred to take Lee's 'teenage outsider' template and apply it to revamps of lesser characters like Marvel Boy and supporting players in his X-Men run. Spider-Man remains probably the most significant Big Two super-hero that Morrison hasn't written, with the character not even managing a cameo appearance in any of Morrison's Marvel scripts.

I'd read that

I'd love to see someone like Bendis have a shot at the normal Spidey as he's been amazing on Ultimate, though I somehow don't see that happening. On a more realistic note I'd also love to see someone like Chris Yost who's been amazing on Avenging Spider-Man, and Scarlet Spider jump onto the main series, or Zeb Wells who can write fun stories (like he did at the start of the Avenging Spider-Man run. I'd also love to see Mark Waid have another go at Spider-Man away from the braintrust that he was a part of along with Slott last time. I'd also love to see Grant Morrison have a shot at the web slinger but very much doubt that that will happen as whether he likes the character or not he's wanting to distant himself from superheroes, and is more of a DC person (having spent most of his career there).

Bendis. I like what he did with Ultimate. Give him a shot at "Superior" Spiderman. Plus he's doing a stellar job with All-New X-Men in my opinion.

I wonder what somebody like Brubaker would do with him.

Rip-off stories from the 80s and early 90s, rebrand them, and then have Spider-Man get knocked out while Sharon Carter saves him.

I'd read it, but mostly for the return of Ben Parker, "Winter Uncle."

Gail Simone. Imagine what could happen if she managed to bring Gwen Stacey back to life

(See last issues of Secret Six)

Yost or Joe Kelly. A big hell no to Bendis and Morrison. Gail Simone I have to say no as well, she does great on team books but on solo character is terrible at utilizing support characters.

Brian Michael Bendis!

A writer that hates superior spiderman and doesnt want to continue it

id say bendis waid or even remender. remender did a fantastic job on venom so maybe spidey would do well with a bit of his style. slott isnt bad in fact i give hin credit for bringing spidey out of the brand new day saga of crap. so what if ppl dont like how he killed off peter superior is actually really good and we know peter will be back so why cant ppl quit being butthurt and just enjoy it as a larger mini series. plus i heard a rumor that they start working on peters return after spock meets up with flash

Slott isn;t a bad writer, problem is that comic readers hate change.....and want change at the same time. We are all hypocrites

He will bring back Uncle Ben who has been a brainwashed murderer for the last couple of years and in the end he gets good again and becomes a superhero.

Ah, the classic "I'll hate on loads of popular writers to make me sound cool".
