Exclusive: Artist Ryan Stegman Talks The Superior Spider-man, Scarlet Spider And More

27 December 2012 9:00 AM, PST | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »

After launching a new Scarlet Spider ongoing series with writer Christopher Yost and a team-up with Jonathan Hickman during his critically acclaimed Fantastic Four run, artist Ryan Stegman is now facing perhaps his greatest challenge yet. Next January will see the release of issues #1 and #2 of Dan Slott's The Superior Spider-Man and it is Stegman who will be providing his incredible artwork for both those and the third instalment the following month. When plot details for Amazing Spider-Man #700 were leaked, they were understandably met with a great deal of upset and scepticism from fans. However, now that the issue has actually gone on sale, the reaction has been overwhelmingly positive (as you can see from my 5* review by clicking Here). Regardless, with a bold new status quo now firmly established, it falls to Slott and Stegman to continue the story of the new Spider-Man. The latter was »

Exclusive: Christopher Yost On The Creative Process Of Avengers: Emh

25 November 2012 2:51 PM, PST | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »

Christopher Yost has become a famous name in the comic book world, working on animated television shows such as Wolverine And The X-Men, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes. At the moment, he writes Scarlet Spider, which recently took place in the Minimum Carnage comic event. Yost will very soon take over Avenging Spider-Man, so keep on a lookout for that book. A while back, Christopher Yost agreed to answer some questions on the creation of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Scarlet Spider and much more. In the beginning, how did you and the rest of the team set the tone that Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes would have? Did you ever try for a darker approach? Never! The Avengers was never about 'dark,' and we had no interest in doing that anyway - especially after coming off Wolverine and the X-Men, a show which while we loved, »

Comics: First Details And Artwork For The Superior Spider-man Revealed

10 October 2012 11:55 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »

USA Today have revealed our first look at The Superior Spider-Man. The relaunched series will replace The Amazing Spider-Man after issue #700 hits stands on December 26th. Whatever happens in that landmark issue will result in a very new direction for Peter Parker, with the site describing it as, "a far darker Spider-Man than fans have ever seen." "The one thing that does not go with this Spider-Man is the term 'Friendly neighborhood,'" says series writer Dan Slott. "I've always been the omniscient hand that's been protecting Peter Parker and Spider-Man, and not letting anything too bad happen to him. And now I've become this cruel god. There's something exciting about that, about going, 'Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha, here is what's going to happen to you, Spider-Man!' And it's drastic and it's big and it's exciting and it's never been done before." As well as Humberto Ramos and Giuseppe Camuncoli, Fantastic Four »

Marc Alan Fishman: You Better Think

3 March 2012 5:00 AM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »

I don’t own a single Spider-Man comic. Wait, scratch that. I own some painted comic released in the mid-aughts… Secret War. Didn’t care for it.

That being said, I love Spider-Man. I loved his cartoon in the 90s. I loved the Sensational Spider-Man cartoon even more. I owned Maximum Carnage for the Super Nintendo. I played about 8000 hours worth of Spider-Man 2 for the original Xbox. So, with all the love I have for the character, why don’t I subscribe to a single web-headed book? Well, consider it a barrier to entry. Never found the right jumping on point.

Until now. Dan Slott’s upcoming in-book epic “Ends of the Earth” looks to be as good a point as ever to jump on. Given my recent love affair with the Fantastic Four… I figure why not roll the dice on the House of Mouse one more time. »
