Dan Slott Quits Twitter

Dan Slott, writer of Marvel’s Amazing Spider-Man, Clone Conspiracy and Eisner winner for Silver Surfer has quit Twitter because he does not like the political scene or the Pro-Trump Rhetoric on Twitter. Slott has been known for being very vocal on social media especially Twitter for years. When you make criticisms and comments on political themes and social pop culture everyone has an opinion. It seems that the comic world of creators are no different than any group of professionals in America with different ideas of how the world works.…

Silver Surfer #6 Review

I’ve not been reading many Marvel Comics of late. Secret Wars wasn’t my cup of tea, providing a great opportunity to stop purchasing digitally day and date and finally use my Marvel Unlimited subscription. Civil War 2 pulling the line together again – well, more like strangling it – has seen me buying only books I really, really like. Vision, Scarlet Witch, Hellcat… and Silver Surfer. There’s a wonderful breeziness to this series as the Surfer and companion Dawn Greenwood explore the literal Marvel Universe. Big fights, big Terra-Forms, occasionally,…

Amazing Spider-Man #17 Review Dan Slott

By Matthew Mueller Someone should probably buy The Jackal a dictionary because it doesn’t seem he understands what the term Good Guy means. Writer Dan Slott continues to build to his upcoming 90’s reanimation project, The Clone Conspiracy, and the latest issue of Amazing Spider-Man adds two more characters to the dead no more pile, but we’ll get to that in a bit. First, it should be pointed out just how little Peter Parker is actually in his own book, but the upside of that is the increased screen time…

Marvel’s Latest “Dead No More” Update

Marvel’s latest promotion for upcoming Spider-Man story “Dead No More” comes in the form of an animated gif, one that warns that everything that’s been said up to this point about the arc may have been one big misdirect. Following a gradually accelerating series of related panels, the text “Everything you’ve been told is wrong” is revealed, along with the words “The conspiracy revealed this week.” Notably, the font in the word “conspiracy” strongly resembles that of the “Spider-Man” logo used for much of the 1990s: The “Dead No More”…

Dan Slott Has a “Giant, Evil Master Plan” for “Amazing Spider-Man”

Since 2007, Dan Slott has been a major part of Spider-Man’s life as one part of the rotating team of writers on “Amazing Spider-Man” during the “Brand New Day” era. As of 2010’s “Big Time” that began in “Amazing Spider-Man” #648, Slott has been the sole writer of Peter Parker’s adventures, going so far as to kill the character and replace him with Doctor Octopus, revive Peter and embroil him in the “Spider-Verse” conflict that featured “every Spider-Man ever.” With the All-New, All-Different Marvel era now underway in the wake…

The man who writes Spider-Man talks Marvel’s Cinematic Universe

A chat with comics writer Dan Slott about Spider-Man from the Verge: What were your thoughts around Spider-Man finally coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe?: I was completely side-swiped. I didn’t see it coming at all. I had so long been told about the politics of it, and had been told by the powers that be that it was never, ever, ever going to happen. So, I was gobsmacked. You write Spider-Man right now, but you’ve also written The Avengers in comic form. Especially since there can’t exactly be a…

Silver Surfer #10 Review

I have read Silver Surfer stories for years and enjoyed them from the time since Norrin Radd first came to earth in Fantastic Four #48 in March 1966. There is something about the sad story of how Norrin became the Silver Surfer and Herald of Galactus, who was a cosmic force of destruction. Galactus hunger drove him to devour and absorber the power and substance of a planet. Norrin’s sacrifice saved his planet homeworld Zenn-La but condemned him to search the heavens using his Cosmic powers to find more planets…

Marvel’s new spider-powered superhero Silk (civilian name, Cindy Moon) has only been active a few months, but she’s kept busy: playing guest star roles in books like “Amazing Spider-Man” (where she was introduced by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos) and “Spider-Woman,” along with a central role in the recently completed “Spider-Verse” event.

Amazing Spider-Man 14 Review

As a whole, Spider-verse may be Marvel’s best attempt at an event comic in years. The core premise and conflict engrossing. the way it celebrates Spider-Man’s long, colorful history is delightful. Even the tie-ins tend to be well-crafted and very relevant to the core storyline. That said, there have been flaws with the approach to Spider-verse, and those flaws threaten to derail the whole experience in this final issue. Amazing Spider-Man #14 is almost entirely consumed by the final battle between the surviving Spiders and the Inheritors. Everyone’s path finally…
