Mark Waid New Writer for Spider-Man

Saturday, April 19th, 2008--by Stephen Schleicher

It’s been announced at the New York Comic Con and over at the Myspace Comic Books page that Mark Waid will be taking a crack at the web head in Amazing Spider-Man.

Says Joe Quesada:

That is the beauty of [Spider-Man Editor] Steve Wacker. Steve and [Executive Editor] Tom Brevoort reached out to Mark, and I’ve always been a fan of his work. And I really loved the House of M: Spider-Man issues he did. It’s just a natural match, a natural pairing, to put him on that book if the timing and schedules work out. And they did.

I think what Mark brings to the book is a great sense of humor, and his ability to write young characters. Mark has a great “range” he can write in. He’s very well-rounded. But he has this light, airy style he brings when he writes young characters that’s great to read.

This is certainly an interesting turn of events. Looks like we’ll be seeing a younger Peter Parker, and with Mark Waid at the controls, the tales being spun should be “spectacular”. Lots more information can be found at the Myspace site.

picon.jpg

Here’s the preview you’ve all be waiting for (or fearing depending on who you are) for the Spider-Man One More Day event. The story will be spread through four different Spider-Man titles, and kicks off in Amazing Spider-Man #544.

Written by the acclaimed J. Michael Straczynski, who redefined the wall-crawler for a new generation and penciled by Joe Quesada, one of the industry’s most popular artists and Marvel’s Editor-In-Chief, this storyline will tie together story threads seeded throughout JMS’ six year tenure! When this four-part story concludes, nothing will ever be the same for Peter Parker, as his decision affects the past, present and future of everyone’s favorite wall crawler! Each extra-sized issue of One More Day not only features two must-have 50/50 covers—one by Quesada himself and another by acclaimed artist Marko Djurdjevic—but is also packed with Director’s Cut style extras!

Take the jump for the preview that looks - well - pretty bad ass if I do say so myself. Now, how it ties into the rest of the story, I have no idea, but seeing Tony Stark… well… just look for yourself.

Marvel Comics dropped off one of those cryptic cover images to Amazing Spider-Man #545 with the only message saying “End of an Era”.

There is some speculation Peter and Mary Jane are about to split up, probably over that Adam Hughes cheesecake statue debacle. Or could it be something else? Remember there is still the “What would you do with one more day?” thing floating around.

Take the jump for the full cover and then post your thoughts in the talk back!
