One Writer/One Artist - Take Two!

[Matt Linton]

Okay, this time around let's do the one writer/one artist thing using only writers and artists that haven't worked on Amazing Spider-Man in the last year (Slott/Guggs/Gale/Wells/Kelly/Waid/Reed/Stern are out, for example).

And just to make things interesting, let's leave out JMS, Peter David, and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, as they've all had recent runs.

Marvel Team-Up by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch

All-star creative team, which would certainly help the book sell. Millar's an "event" writer, so if he took that approach to this book it could certainly be interesting, and Hitch is an artist that can draw the hell out of just about any character (though his Spidey is sometimes a bit off). And the likely delays wouldn't be as big a deal in a book that isn't too continuity-tied.

Web of Spider-Man by Mike Carey and Stuart Immonen

Carey's great at exploring and creating worlds around a character (see his Felix Castor books) and Stuart Immonen is an artistic chameleon, changing his style to suit the story. He also draws a great Spidey.

Spectacular Spider-Man by Ed Brubaker and David Aja

Brubaker is as much a character guy as he is a crime guy, so a book that focuses both on Peter and his ensemble as well as more street-level stories is perfect for him. Aja's like a darker Marcos Martin and can draw action without losing any of the storytelling.

Amazing Spider-Man by Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley

Busiek's more than earned a shot at the flagship Spidey book, and teaming with one of the best Spidey artists (and frequent collaborator) is a no-brainer.

[Matt Linton]

Oh, and it's completely unintentional that in both threads I've picked writers for MTU that would probably guarantee Jim Thompson wouldn't buy it. : )

[Chris N]

Marvel Team-Up by Fabian Nicieza and Ron Lim.

Neither is brilliant at their craft, but both are capable and Nicieza knows his Marvel characters and Lim knows how to draw them. I could imagine fun stuff exploring the Marvel Universe from them.

Web of Spider-Man by Brian Azzarello and Michael Lark.

For whatever reason (possibly the cover of the original first issue) I associate Web with a slightly darker take on Spider-Man. These two could tell more noirish stories with the character. Azzarello's Tangled Web story earns him another chance at Spidey. If Azzarello isn't available, perhaps somebody like Max Allan Collins could step in.

Spectacular Spider-Man J.M. Dematteis and Lee Weeks

Dematteis needs to return to Spider-Man and write more. And Lee Weeks would be an excellent pairing.

Amazing Spider-Man by Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley.

Copying Matt's choice because I'd love to see this.

[Matt Linton]

Azzarello and Lark would be really interesting.

JRjr is technically disqualified from this one because he worked on NWTD and Character Assassination.

[James Conniff]

Spectacular Spider-Man by Ed Brubaker and David Aja

Brubaker is as much a character guy as he is a crime guy, so a book that focuses both on Peter and his ensemble as well as more street-level stories is perfect for him. Aja's like a darker Marcos Martin and can draw action without losing any of the storytelling.

I'd be all over this.
Though I think Aja, and Martins work look very different. But both do a great job of conveying motion in their work. Which is really necessary with such kinetic characters like Fist and Spidey.

[Chris N]

Azzarello and Lark would be really interesting.

JRjr is technically disqualified from this one because he worked on NWTD and Character Assassination.

Oops. I fixed it.

[whiteshark]

Amazing Spider-Man :Doug Moench and George Perez/Leinil Francis Yu.

Nothing less than great writing comes from this writter.
Want to see what this Writter could do with the charcter.
That would be a legendary run in my opininion.
And George Perez or Francis Lennin Yu in the art department is just cool.

Spectacular Spider-Man. Gerry Conway and Stuart Immonem/Bill Siencwiecz.
Gerry Conway is a 100 per cent perfect writer for this book.
And i want to see more work from the artist`s i mentioned here,and these two would do a top art to this book.

Web of Spider-Man.J.M. Dematteis and Joe Madureira.
Cool stories with that artist could translate in some great stories.

Marvel Team Up.
Roger Stern and Dale Keown.
Roger Stern would write some great stories in this title.
And would like to see Dale Keown work in this title.


I would buy those books anyways.

Um....

Stern is ineligible. I like your writer picks. Not so sure about the artists.

Stern is ineligiblee. I like your writer picks. Not so sure about the artists.

I know what you mean,i relate more to writing.
The artist`s that i choose where only choosed because i would like to see their work in the Spider-Man stories.


My bad.
Marvel Team Up.
Chuck Dixon and Dale Keown.
The writter would do a interesting work with this title.
He has proven more than enough times that he could write a Spider-Man title.

[Mister Mets]

This is actually much harder than coming up with a list of the guys who have worked on the title who might otherwise be no-brainers (John Romita Jr, Roger Stern, Dan Slott, Marcos Martin, Lee Weeks and JM Dematteis.)

Amazing Spider-Man
Matt Fraction/ Mark Bagley
Fraction's chosen over Brubaker for this one because I think he'd be a better fit than Bagley on a flagship Spider-Man title.

Peter Parker Spider-Man
Ed Brubaker/ Eduardo Risso
Because Brubaker may just be the best writer Marvel has (and like the vast majority of Marvel writers, has expressed his interest in the character.) And I think Risso's art would compliment Brubaker well, especially on a mostly street-level title.

Astonishing Spider-Man
Mark Millar/ Frank Cho
So Marvel could go and create an Astonishing franchise.
This would be the accessible entry-level title in which timeliness isn't that important.

Web of Spider-Man
Gail Simone/ Sean Phillips
Essentially an ensemble title focusing on Spider-Man's supporting cast, as much as on the wallcrawler. Sean Phillips can balance the real and the mundane, and I just really want to see Simone write Spider-Man.

[Will.S]

Peter Parker Spider-Man
Ed Brubaker/ Eduardo Risso
Because Brubaker may just be the best writer Marvel has (and like the vast majority of Marvel writers, has expressed his interest in the character.) And I think Risso's art would compliment Brubaker well, especially on a mostly street-level title.

I like this pairing but I have to say that Greg Rucka and Eduardo Risso would appeal to me a bit more just based on their Tangled Web issue of Severance Package.

That's gotta be the name of the next Punisher/ Spider-Man mini-series (or it could just be a dress for variant covers.)
