    Default Who will be Spider-Man post ASM #700?

    Well, the speculation is that somehow Peter will not be Spidey (at least not for a while) after ASM #700. Marvel has been dropping hints as such for the past 6 months or so and they have only accelerated as of late. So the big question is: who will wear the webs? It's a safe bet that there will be a Spidey here in the 616 (duh) so.....who will it be??

    Vote, people; it is your right as a comics geek!!

    For me, even though there is a lot of speculation that Miles will be stranded here in the 616 and will somehow "switch places", I don't think so. Too big a gamble with Marvel's flagship property. I think Ben is truly dead and gone (sorry, Ben loyalists) and Kaine has himself a nice little thing going in Houston plus Marvel already tried replacing Pete with a clone once. So....that leaves Spidey's #1 fan, none other than Eugene Thompson, whose stint as Venom could use a boost in profile! Why not have him take over for a while? The story can end with Peter finally learning that he now has the symbiotic and it could only help boost sales of what is a criminally overlooked Venom title.

    What say you, effendi??

    What kinds of hints support the theory? Can you link any examples?

    Can't at the moment but Wacker has published several times (most recently in ASM letters page) that Marvel has perhaps "gone as far with Peter Parker as they could". Dan Slott also hinted at a big change coming regarding Peter as Spidey post #700 at a recent panel; there is probably a thread on it here on these boards.

    When you read stuff like that you start to think that perhaps it isn't the character who needs to go.....

    What do you mean? Spidey has been replaced before as has Superman, Batman, Captain America, Iron Man....need I go on?

    SO....again, what's your point?

    I suspect that they're going to leave Peter Parker as Spider-Man.

    Well, it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to incorporate Miles into 616, they already did it with Nick Fury and agent coulson. So it will either be a 616 version of Miles or Miles himself. Slott will probably write him better than bendis anyhow.

    Do you think there will a swerve and thus some other big status quo change? Or do you think this is all hype with no payoff?

    Bucky as Cap? Fantastic.....some think he should have stayed. Dick as Batman? Also great.....


    Do you have a point here or do you feel like just tossing tomatoes at the Spidey team which, btw, have been putting out a top-selling AND well-reviewed book.

    If you have a criticism, try articulating it as opposed to heckling with no substance.

    It will be (much to my chagrin) MARY JANE WATSON.

    I think the previous posters point(at least it would be mine if I was following that line of thinking) was that if it worked out so great as you say why did the originals for each of the characters return?
