Wizard had an interview with sketches. It looks like it'll be good. It's going to be a villain feature Hush type thing... but they didn't specify on whetehr it's in an ongoing or a Maxi Series. I believe they just said 12 issues... It's going to be some great Spider-Man fun!

Sounds awesome, will definately pick this up because of that amazing year of Batman Loeb did with Hush.

What do you guys mean by Hush?

All I know is that is was some kind of Batman story right?

Nick Kal

04-26-2006, 12:01 AM

Meaning like a new villain appears every issue with an elbaorate mystery to it. Also, I think Wizard has a rule against scanning the pics. But they look awesome!

I'm yet to pick up Wizard but does it show whether Spidey's in his new or old costume? I thought I remembered them saying he'd be in his old duds.

Nick Kal

04-26-2006, 10:01 AM

He's in his old costume!

04-26-2006, 10:09 AM

He's in his old costume!

Sweet. I think that all but officially states that he will be back in the old duds sooner than later if he is appearing in new books the original way. Good news. I like the Iron Spidey suit but it will be good to see him when he slips the old costume back on again.

I believe Joe Q. or JMS has said before that the Iron spidey suit was a limited thing, and would be gone after CW.

Not right out and said but hinted heavily that the new costume was going to be gone by the end of civil war, planned that way from the beginning.

Yeah they did. And they didn't really have to for me to know that anyway. I was just saying that's another piece of evidence towards them getting rid of it sooner or later because some people still don't think it will be gone soon enough.

Since he's back in his old duds and if it a HUSH type story and they DO NOT break up the marriage between MJ and Peter then I'm in. :D

I enjoyed Hush, but this had better be something radically different (And with a better payoff). I'd be disapointed to see Loeb using his same old tricks.

And didn't Millar already deliver a Hush-like story with his MK run?

Venom

I saw the sketches in Wizard today. My God! They look incredible! Campbell's Spider-Man looks like a mixture of Ditko's version, Romita Sr's version and MacFarlane's version mixed all into one. There were also sketches of Mary Jane, Black Cat and Gwen Stacey. Last but not least there was sketches of three of the Web-Head's classic villians. The First one had the Lizard looking very menacing. One with Doc Ock and it looks like he's gone back to his original look. And there was one with the Green Goblin in another new costume, But Loeb didn't like Campbell's design of the new costume and said if they do use the Green Goblin on their run he'll either be in his classic costume or Humberto Ramos' design. Leob also let slip that one of his stories might involve Mysterio as he's Campbell's favourite villian. Leob and Campbell also said that if they enjoy their run they might do more than 12 issues. Here are some sketches by J. Scott Campbell that aren't in the magazine and are only avaliable on the Wizard website.

Spidey's already done Hush. When it was Millar writing Marvel Knights Spidey.

Although really, that was more Spidey's version of Guardian Devil. Which Hush was ripped from to begin with.

And Guardian Devil was a whimsical copy of Born Again, so what can you do?

I'm not real interested in this. Hush was...bad. The FINAL reveal was cool in a geeky kind of way, the rest was...bad.

Guardian Devil even admits that it's a version of Born Again right in the story! And I don't see how it was anything like the rogues gallery-showcases Hush and MK Spider-Man...

Doom Hammer

04-28-2006, 05:16 PM

Guardian Devil even admits that it's a version of Born Again right in the story!

Yeah, Matt proposes that Mysterio is no Wilson Fisk. I propose that Kevin Smith is no Frank Miller.

Oh, buuurn, son! And that's like, the third time I've said that!

And I don't see how it was anything like the rogues gallery-showcases Hush and MK Spider-Man...

Eh, it was all convoluted plot with mysterious and random-ass mastermined (Except for Norman) and a couple of villains to deal with along the way.

Not THAT similar, but there's parallels.

Haha; that was a good burn... :D

And yeah, I can seee the similarities. I guess I should say that MK Spider-Man and Hush are far more similiar than Guardian Devil is to either one of them. But yeah, similiar ideas-- There's still no way I'd say Millar's MK run is Spider-Man's "version" of Guardian Devil, though; like StoneGold proposes...

Good god, this will be horrible. I haven't read anything from Loeb worth anything in years, and I can't stand Campbell's third-rate McFarlane imitation style.

The fact that they even mention "Hush" means that the storyline could be much worse than even I could imagine.
I couldn't agree with you less.

Loeb wrote two of the best Batman stories of all time in "Long Halloween" and "Dark Victory". I think J Scott Campbell is BETTER then McFarlain. I'll buy anything that guy puts out...even when the story sticks *Cough..Wildsiderz* Cough*!

and I don't think THEY mentioned hush, I think someone on the board mentioned hush...I could be wrong, but if not, what's the big deal?

Jeff Loeb wrote Hush. I wasn't a big fan, but at least there was stuff going on in it the whole time. I think Loeb paces stories well. Maybe he learned a few things from Hush to do better in a spidey story.

Even if it is close to hush, you're saying Spidey is going to fight almost 12 different villians in 12 issues and you don't want in? Geez, I bought the last three issues of Amazing and he only fought ONE guy...and that was Titanium Man!

BRING ON THE BADDIES! Viva' Loeb and Campbell!!!

Loeb has basically lost it since Hush. Long Halloween was solid, but basically required an entire new volume, called Dark Victory, to solve the mystery that LH was supposed to end. Hush was complete crap, relying on a deus ex machina ending after intro'ing the main villain at the beginning of the arc, which felt cheesey, contrived, and reminiscent of the Superman "Conduit" storyline from the mid-90s. Loeb's pacing is fine, but his storytelling decisions are often non-sensical (have you read any of Superman/Batman?) As far as I can tell, he's a two-trick pony, writing either illogical mysteries or nostalgia pieces that work on the strength of Tim Sale's artwork.

And don't get me started on Campbell, he's not exactly untalented, but his style does not mesh with my tastes at all.

Having Spider-Man fight 12 villains as opposed to 1 doesn't guarantee the story will be any good. The best storyline I was continually reading years ago had Spidey taking on the Hobgoblin issue after issue (with the occasional battle against the Rose) back when Roger Stern was writing.

cutchemist42

04-30-2006, 02:07 AM

Also want to add I was always hoping to see Campbell do more Spidey after the few covers he did for Spidey a few years back. One that really is burned into my memory is the one with Peter crawling up a wall outside in snow while they show MJ inside with hot chocolate.

Venom

04-30-2006, 06:29 AM

BRING ON THE BADDIES!

Bring them all on! Venom, Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, Vulture, Lizard, Doc Ock, Electro, Scorpion, Mysterio and Shocker. The perfect number of villians to fit into Loeb and Campbell's run. I would've said Carnage aswell but I don't think Loeb is very fond of him. I don't even know if Loeb even likes Venom for that matter as he's never said his opinion or what he thinks of him.

That's fair. I bought some of the Marvel Loeb/Timm stuff, Daredevil: Yellow and the Superman for all seasons. Wasn't impressed...nor was I with Hush.

How was Loeb's Spiderman: Blue? that may be a good indication if we're in for teh suck or not.

-I respect Campbell ain't your style...but he sure does it for me!

Jeff Campbell draws a really Lindsay Lohan'ish MJ, freckles and all. I'm really amazed at the art in the Wizard and from the website. MJ and Gwen Stacy looked pretty different anotomically with MJ looking more lanky and supermodel'ish. His Doc Ock is more cartoony but old fashioned chubby, Lizard looks perfect and his Black Cat is sexy as hell.

I've usually really enjoyed his Spider-Man renditions since the covers from Amazing so I can't wait to see Jeff's art with Jeph Loeb writing. I just hope the colorist is good enough to make his art pop out.

and am looking forward to reading his other stories as well.

Giant Guy

05-02-2006, 11:08 AM

What I got from the Wizard Article - they said it will be 12 issues but Campbell said there could be more, which means Marvel is probably paying him very well. Theya re still working out the schedule - They hope to be more like Astonishing X-Men (Bi-Monthly0 than Ultimates (whenever an issue is done)

Loeb did not say anything about making this like Hush, he just said he was open to using any of Spider-Man's villains and he will try to get as many in as possible.

I am really hoping for the Lizard after seeing the way Campbell drew him. I was not so happy with his Green Goblin, but the Doc Ock was great. It should be a lot of fun. Oh yeah and with the movie coming up I think we could get some Sandman and Venom in there.

I thought that Loeb did a great job on "Long Halloween" and "Dark Victory." I even enjoyed "Hush" to a lesser degree. Personally, I really like Campbell's art. His Gwen Stacy is smoking! I'll definately check out this title. I think it has lots of potential.

Having Spider-Man fight 12 villains as opposed to 1 doesn't guarantee the story will be any good. The best storyline I was continually reading years ago had Spidey taking on the Hobgoblin issue after issue (with the occasional battle against the Rose) back when Roger Stern was writing.

Quick observation. Roger Stern did not create the Rose. That was Tom Defalco the writer who came after Stern. And while stories did feature the Hobgoblin, they featured other villains too (he wrote stories with the Rose, Red Ghost, Black Fox, Puma, and Jack O Lantern before he got to the Hobgoblin.)
And in between battles with the Hobgoblin, Roger Stern had Spider-Man fight other villains, providing the origin for the Vulture (who had gone without an origin for decades.)

or brand new foes which spidey needs

We get plenty of those in JMS's Amazing.

Spidey's already done Hush. When it was Millar writing Marvel Knights Spidey.

Although really, that was more Spidey's version of Guardian Devil. Which Hush was ripped from to begin with.

I really don't see how Hush was a ripoff of Guardian Devil, which featured only one of Daredevil's big enemies.

The MJ looks great and I like the top Spidey, Im sick to the back teeth of the McFarlane look now. Im steering clear of this book just cos i plain dont like Jeph Loeb, everything he does he just takes the hero and puts every A list enemy in front of them. I can safely say I have no love for anything hes ever done (including Long Halloween.)

A. Taking the hero, and putting every A List enemy in front of them ensures interesting artwork.
B. That's not a description of my favorite Loeb work: Superman, Man For All Seasons, which I have much love for (although the man is an inconsistent writer.)

I saw the sketches in Wizard today. My God! They look incredible! Campbell's Spider-Man looks like a mixture of Ditko's version, Romita Sr's version and MacFarlane's version mixed all into one.

http://www.wizarduniverse.com/_gfx_/magazines/wizard/WZ176-campbell2.jpg

I am really looking forward to the Lizard's appearance (my favorite Spider-Man villain.)
And I wanna see what they can do with Mysterio, who's in need of a revivial (even if they're going to just use the guy who got raped by his brother.)

I enjoyed Hush, but this had better be something radically different (And with a better payoff). I'd be disapointed to see Loeb using his same old tricks.

And didn't Millar already deliver a Hush-like story with his MK run?

Millar did a storyline with appearances by many Spider-Man villains. It was compared to Hush, but I thought it was a lot better (although I did enjoy Hush), and believe the hero VS many a-list villains plot predates Hush. The earliest example I can come up with is the first annual of Amazing Spider-Man.

Nick MB

05-07-2006, 01:14 PM

I do worry about Loeb, as aside from his dreamy retro stuff with Tim Sale (Batman: Long Halloween/Dark Victory, Superman For All Seasons, Spider-Man: Blue, DD; Yellow), he never does much that works for me. In fact, it bothers me that someone who can write such poignant character studies in the above-mentioned, can then produce stories that always seem a bit superficial and shallow everywhere else.
At least it'll look pretty, but I hope Loeb will still make sure to bring out a good, involving storyline, rather than just slip back into Hush mode... "All I need to do is roll out as many villains as possible for my superstar artist to draw..."

Yeah, well, can someone tell me if Mysterio was, like, EVER, properly used? I mean does he do any serious psyche damage to Spidey?
No no, wait. That's too harsh, I think. Different question:
Which story featuring Mysterio (as in show of how great his potential is) was the best?

Loeb's writing is heavy with the nostalgia. On one hand, I like it because you can feel the love he has for the characters. But on the other, I think it's very hard to maintain that kind of tone.

I think Marvel has ruined Spider-Man. First, Bendis makes him a New Avenger...and totally takes away the specialness of Spider-Man working with other characters, and then the Bendis/Millar think it's a smart move to unmask yet another character. Ugh... (I'm so glad Brubaker went in another direction and made it look like Matt wasn't Daredevil afterall. ) Unmasking the character was just flat out stupidity at work. It was badly executed, too. Lord only knows what plans Quesada, JMS, Bendis, and Loeb have in store for the character next. *shudder*

Having said that, I am looking forward to both this and the JMS/Quesada thing, because if anything, I know I'll get some nice art.

Does anybody know when those are on the release schedule?

Just pretend it didn't happen, because I'm getting pretty sick of seeing the word "whore" on Spider-Man threads. It insults Gwen's character far more than anything JMS has written.

You're not serious are you? JMS wrote a horrible story that happens to be canonical and will probably stick for years until we have a writer heroic enough to write it out of continuity, but my comment, which doesn't affect any storylines or doesn't do any retcons and is of my own opinion is somehow is far worse?

Puhhh-lease.

So JMS writes a horrible story, and that makes it okay for you to call our beloved Gwen a whore? If you really liked the character, you'd forgive her and move on.

Im not excited at all if this book will be a "HUSH" style stoyry again or whatever. But if it is hopefully Loeb will do better than Millar. Much better in fact and not mess anythign up like so many writers who get there hands on spidey for these events.

PunisherFan

02-07-2007, 04:48 PM

I don't know why anyone is so against Jeph Loeb writing a Spider-Man story. I thought Hush was brilliant and the rest of his work with Batman. Besides look at the crap that JMS spins out monthly, he has created 2 of the WORST Spider-Man villains ever in Morlun and Ezekiel. I would rather read a team up of The Hypno Hustler and Walrus then read more of that mystical spider-totem garbage.

deadpool002

The webbing on the second Spidey-head looks exactly like Larsen's tight webbing. Remember, McFarelane used the loose Romita style webbing on Spidey's face and tightened it for the body.

And Campbell has done quite a few covers for Spiderman already, around issue 500.

And I wanna see what they can do with Mysterio, who's in need of a revivial (even if they're going to just use the guy who got raped by his brother.)

I haven't read regular cannon spiderman stories for a while now- is Quentin Beck still dead?

Apparently he'd made a deal with the folks downstairs as they could use his "unique talents," so to speak.

I have a worthless uncle in Hell, I'm sure he doesn't have any talents to contribute down there. I wonder if he'll be back then?

wow i saw this thread and thought. whoa, this is so cool. then i remembered seeing the article in wizard months ago. when is it coming out i haven't seen any solicitations for it yet

BTW Hush is one of my faveorite story lines ever. Loeb and Lee could do no wrong in that story. I'm excited to see what they come up with. As for new villians. Strazinzki created on for the other and hasn't used him since.. i really liked the tracer too

J Scott Campbell's a slow artist. This is sorta like Marvels 2: Eye of the Camera.

I'm so glad this is finally going through. I heard about this a while back and then there was nothing. So awesome!
Here's some sketches Campbell did for Spidey and other stuff. (Wizard page didn't load for me, not sure if its same sketches)
Love this site!

Sadly, we have nothing to indicate that it's coming out any time soon. Just that Campbell's still working on it.

Is THAT still happening??? :confused:Last I heard it's still happening. They just don't want to solicit it until the whole damn thing is done. This is the same story Marvel gives for Ultimate Wolverine VS Hulk. It's noted that Ultimate Iron Man 2 came out fairly recently, and 1985's getting solicited, so projects so occasionally come out years after they were announced.

The delayed projects that it's been hinted may not be happening are Daredevil: Target, Loeb/ Turner's Ultimate Wolverine (due to Turner's cancer) and Loeb/ Mcguiness's Ultimates 4 (I think Marvel's kept this one vague due to the possible impact of Ultimatum.)

I'd say that Loeb and Campbell's Spider-Man project won't be out until 2009 at earliest.

It´s sad because I remenber those sketches and were fantastic. I have doubts it one day see print but let´s see.

Spider-Man Blue by Loeb is the worst SM story I've ever read, and I've read almost all of them.

Well, we still have a lot of great stuff coming out in the next few months (USM,ASM Venom Origins etc..) so if it takes a long time, I'm not too worried.
I've been waiting for this since I first heard about quite a while ago, maybe years now. At least we know to keep an eye out for it.

Well I would think that if you compare them to the comics of that period, that they arent too far off. But dont take my word for it as I dont own more than 2 or 3 Romita Sr period issues.

That's true. And because I'll have all of these titles to occupy me in that time I'm not so worried about waiting for it to come out as much now.

I'd love to know how Loeb though that the MJ portion of "Blue" was a good idea. Peter basicly makes it out to Gwen that she's the center of his life in that letter. No wonder she bumped Norman

"Blue" is a classic, but as a tribute to Peter and Gwen's love, it falls apart.
