Hints from the Spider-Office Blog

[Mister Mets]

The Spider-Man office blog has some hints for what's happening in the future of the books. (http://www.marvel.com/blogs/Spider-Office/entry/1185)

Two days ago, The Spidey Braintrust had a conference call with new writers, Joe Kelly and Mark Waid. I listened in and while I couldn't get much from my vantage point, I picked up the following key words on the discussion of fall plans:

The Punisher
Harry Osborn and Liz Allen
Mysterio
The Spider-Tracer Killer revealed
Mayor
Dexter Bennett

He also posted a cover promising a fight between Spider-Man, and one of the most dangerous guys in the Marvel Universe.

What's he gonna do, drool him to death?

[CMBMOOL]

Even if some of these hints may explain the OMD/BND changes a bit. To me I see it as some rehashing some old story lines and that there is a possibility of Spidey and Punisher team up as Spidey avoids the Thunderbolts. :frown:

And a hint of the return of Mysterio which may hopefully explain just what happen to him the last time we saw him.

All I can say that if this is written by Dan Slott I can have some hope for an explaination. :redface:

God, I hope he doesn't mean Galactus.

I liked the part of Harry and Liz Allen.

[Rahul]

Probably the worst JR jr cover ever.


Although I like the mention of Punisher and Mysterio.

[DeadXMan]

Bullseye Vs Spidey = $$$$

and my guts th tracer killer is linked to Mysterio.

Yay, nostalgia. Way to move forward Marvel....

[Matt Linton]

Yay, nostalgia. Way to move forward Marvel....

The Spider-Tracer storyline, mayoral election, and Dexter Bennett are all NEW stories, not nostalgia.

[StoneGold]

Yay, nostalgia. Way to move forward Marvel....

Wait, isn't the marriage nostalgia at this point?

[Muscles Coleman]

Yay, nostalgia. Way to move forward Marvel....

And if all Spider-Man did was fight new never-before-seen villains and meet all new characters, you'd complain that they don't use his classic rogue's gallery and supporting cast enough. Can't have it both ways.

Give me new villains in conjunction with a familiar and viable supporting cast that doesnt BS me on regression and you wont hear a PEEP.

Isn't that what we're getting? Where is the regression, aside from the obvious bachelor status of Peter?

[CyberHubbs]

Spider-Man becomes Mayor of New York City?! :eek:

[Venom]

I'm most excited about The Punisher appearance, the return of Mysterio (please be Quentin Beck) and the Spider-Man vs. Bullseye battle.

Very good point. I've actually liked all the storyline/villains so far except the Winter God story. I just hated that. It's almost like they used that to pull Strange and Wolverine into the book to show that Spiderman isn't in his own universe or something.

[Greyhound]

Is it really Bullseye? I thought Bullseye had his neck broken and has been brain damaged?

[Dr. Chaos]

Mysterio
*giggles like a schoolgirl while clapping like a monkey on pixie stix*

And I'm if Dan Slott writes Mysterio but with his classic costume, it would be cool.
I'm actually hoping they keep the updated outfit.

[Magneto Rocks]

And a hint of the return of Mysterio which may hopefully explain just what happen to him the last time we saw him

Explain it? The last time we saw Mysterio was literally a story designed around explaining what was up with old fishbowl head these days anyway, and it was very coherent and understandable. Beck = Dead, now acting as a supernatural entity. Berkhart = Alive, Active. Klum = Alive, active. Klum and Berkhart each view the other as a fake Mysterio.

If anything, I'm interested to see which Mysterio they use. I'm really, really glad he's being utilised again, and just hope it's the Berkhart Mysterio, my personal favourite. Mackie's run may have been awful, but he used Mysterio quite well as a master villain of illusionry, clearly working on a deeper scheme...

...which, because it's Mackie, was never revealed.

What did his updated outfit look like? I dont think I've seen it. I know about the fog bowl when he was fighting Ben for abit in the winter.

[Cody H]

...which, because it's Mackie, was never revealed.Maybe Mysterio was Facade.

[Mister Mets]

Maybe Mysterio was Facade.Facade was actually Terry Kavanagh's creation, and one reason Mackie shouldn't be considered the worse Spider-Man writer.

[FreeFallin]

i'm not that excited about punisher, and confused about bullseye but all i care about is mysterio's return

[FreeFallin]

Is it really Bullseye? I thought Bullseye had his neck broken and has been brain damaged?

isnt it obvioius that was a skrull/:evilsmile:

[B. Kuwanger]

I'll be so mad if Spidey breaks his neck and then just goes about his business.

[Alan2099]

Spider-Man becomes Mayor of New York City?! :eek:

No, the Punisher does. :biggrin:

[Cody H]

Facade was actually Terry Kavanagh's creation, and one reason Mackie shouldn't be considered the worse Spider-Man writer.... Maybe Nightwatch was Facade.
