Spider-Man Titles' Futures (Possible Spoilers Ahead)

**Pheonix-NoRelation** · 11-04-2006, 04:45 PM

Anyone else read the New Joe Fridays? Here's the Quote:

NEWSARAMA: ...what are five titles readers won't see coming but should watch out for in 2007, and why...?

Joe Q.: 5.) & 6.) & 7.) For Spider-Man fans, we have a plan that’s going to make you incredibly happy and your wallets incredibly lighter. I kid you not, Spidey is going to be huge.

Now, I don't know what to make of this. He mentions three titles which would presumably be the three Core titles out now. But he also mentions making our wallets lighter. Is something going to be cancelled? What do you guys make of this?

Quite possibly that the cover price will go down?

Wouldn't our wallets become lighter after spending more? So, maybe he means there will be more to buy.

That was my interpretation. I thought it meant that there may be 3 MORE titles being added to the Spiderverse, which would be.....interesting. And very very expensive.

Now that makes more sense. I geuss I'm just a little slow. :rolleyes:

I'm hoping he just means something big will be happening in the three titles we have now. Six Spidey titles would mean that I'd need to pick and choose which core titles I follow for the first time in a while. I think more than three Spidey titles is complete overkill, and they should take example from DC, who have just both Batman and Superman's core books down to two.

As long as the story's good I'm there.
He's probably also talking about the project where Jeph Loeb is the writer and J.Scott Campbell is the artist.

Maybe there is an Astonishing Spider-Man title coming out next year. I mean is there any other big words left to use for a Spidey title? Maybe the Elegant Spider-Man. :D

I wouldn't want to read a comic that was free, strange as that may sound. It makes it a worthless read. Not to cheap, but not expensive.

Doesnt the phrase make your wallets lighter mean you have to spent MORE, and hence your wallet has less in it?

From a storyline POV this makes sense...but with the movie out in the summer Marvel are probably seeing $$$

Frankly there are far too many SM titles now...

How many LS will Spider-man have next year. I know of one but I also thought that in another Joe friday he had talked about another one. Or maybe the LS that JQ and JMS were doing is now going to be a monthly. I'm a big Spider-man fan, but I really dont want more then three ongoing books. Maybe he's getting two LS and A new ongoing.
