Didn't want this to get buried in the SDCC thread.

Quote:
Dan Slott, Steve McNiven, Dexter Vines and Morry Hollowell

Marc Guggenheim, Salvador Larrocca and Jason Keith

Bob Gale, Phil Jimenez, Andy Lanning and Jeromy Cox

Zeb Wells, Chris Bachalo, Tim Townshend and Antonio Fabela


Happy about Slott, Guggenheim, and even Wells, who's done some good stuff in Marvel Adventures Spider-Man. The Bachalo pages online look great, and McNiven does a very cool Spider-Man. I'm on the fence about Larrocca and Jimenez.

There are, at the moment, three stories on Newsarama, and rather than try to cut and paste or sum them up, I'll just post the links.

Edited to add

Apparently Bachalo is only on for one arc between X-Men stuff. I wonder if that means they're going to have a floating fourth artist spot.

Those two McNiven covers made me realize how much I missed Spider-Man.

"One More Day" is JMS' swan song on Spider-Man, drawn by Joe Quesada, and rumored to feature the death of a major supporting character. It runs through the three existing Spider-Man books. Quesada said recently he's halfway through the second issue, so it might not start for a couple of months.

I might use #546 as a potential hopping on point. (The one that starts the new thrice monthly Amazing with all those great new writers)

I'm leaning towards skipping the JMW swansong, and it might feel neat to just drop in and discover where Spidey is gradually.

I can always pick up a trade of One More Day if it turns out to contain some essential storytelling.

They could pull Larocca off, for one. He seems to think he's drawing the movie version of Spidey. Don't care for the mirrored eyes. I know that they are actually supposed to be mirrors, but I don't like the way it looks here.

I finally figured out what bothers me about that Jimenez Spider-Man. He draws him with big ol' 90s eyes. Like a cross between Perez (good) and Tom Lyle doing McFarlane's Spidey (not good).

They look like Erik Larsen eyes to me. Not the best thing to remind me of! Still not bad though.

Boy, that art really wasn't too inspiring. I still don't know what is going on on the Bachalo page.McNiven colored is good but the B&W page, eh. And Jiminez looks as if El Greco took over the book. Larrocca's is the best and he's drawing the movie costume. I agree with Robbie......

McNiven is the best one shown so far I think. All suffer from the deplorable murky colors of modern comics.

I'm intrigued.

Will I actually buy Spider-Man for the first time in ages? Stay tuned!
