New Spider-Man title

When “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,” the new Spidey series coming from Marvel late this summer, hits the stands, it will be launching with a different creative team than previously announced: Mike Wieringo as artist, and yours truly as writer.

I’m really excited about this, since it’s been years since I’ve written on ongoing Spidey title and fans have been asking when, or if, I’ll ever have the opportunity again. I’m pleased to be working with Ringo, whose art I’ve very much enjoyed, and am grateful to editor Tom Brevoort for offering me the assignment (and Joe Q, naturally, for giving the final OK). Spidey was my very first comic work for Marvel, and it’s great to be back.
