Besides, it would really age the character." "What if Spider-Man makes a deal with Mephisto to erase the memory of his penis from everyone after the event is over?" asked Thompson. "While I like that concept, I really think we should go with another character," Quesada insisted. "What about Captain America?" asked Nick Spencer. "Tell me more," said Quesada. "I[...]

Where #3 felt a little weak and slow, #4 goes back to the other end, with Nick Spencer and Ryan Ottley turning in another fun installment with a quicker pace and plenty of humor. We get to see Spider-Man plaster corporate logos on himself, take part in a Uber-like service for superhuman transportation, and C-list villain[...]

The Amazing Spider-Man and Peter Parker have been split into two people. Peter enjoys time with Mary Jane while Spider-Man saves the day. Is it a good read?

This issue is genuinely good and is a joy to read. Writer Nick Spencer's love of bottom-rung villains crops up again with the opening, and it's a genuine laugh The plot with Curt Connors treads some familiar ground — the comic even admits that — but it takes that idea in a direction that has promise to[...]

That doesn't stop Peter from reflecting upon his day, which included an impromptu Mayor Wilson Fisk ceremony and a disastrous Empire State University presentation for the Daily Bugle's science column. In the back-up story, Mysterio has a court date. Amazing Spider-Man #1 cover by Ryan Ottley and Laura Martin It's a new era and a new start for[...]

Of course, since then, Dan Slott has left the title he said he never would, and Nick Spencer is the new writer for Amazing Spider-Man #1 with Ryan Ottley as artist And, of course, Marvel has a new Editor-in-Chief And there is no suggestion that they are bringing back the Spider-Marriage But Nick Spencer, it[...]

All of everything is at stake in this battle. Amazing Spider-Man #1 cover by Ryan Ottley Amazing Spider-Man #1 The new Amazing Spider-Man swings into action (how many times has that one been used in relation to Spider-Man?) under creators Nick Spencer and Ryan Ottley Aliens are invading the Earth, because Peter can never catch a break. Daredevil #605 cover by Chris Sprouse Daredevil #605 Daredevil[...]

Can you guess who it is? We'll give you a hint… That's right, Secret Empire writer Nick Spencer is taking over as writer, while Marguerite Sauvage will provide art As expected, the press release teases a "bold new era" for the series, and we're afraid to imagine exactly what that will consist of[...]

We can't guarantee 100% accuracy, of course. In this issue of Improbable Previews, we've gotten our hands on some unlettered Ryan Ottley art from his and Nick Spencer's Amazing Spider-Man #1, which were posted in the middle of a CBR fluff interview broken up into five clickable parts What will happen when the man behind Secret Empire[...]

Damnation reaches its finale as Mephisto and his possessed Avengers corner Wong and the Midnight Sons. Will Wong's plan save the day? Does it make for a good read?

2016 and 2017 were rough years for Nick Spencer, maybe the worst in a decade since he was driven from Cincinnati after losing his City Council bids First, despite dedicating most of his waking hours to tweeting, sometimes hundreds of times per day, about Hillary Clinton, she was still defeated by Donald Trump in the 2016[...]

The first thing that jumped out at us, looking through the solicits, was the one for Amazing Spider-Man #1 and #2: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1 & #2 NICK SPENCER (W) • RYAN OTTLEY (A/C) ISSUE #1 – VARIANT COVER BY JIM CHEUNG ISSUE #1 – VARIANT COVER BY JEROME OPENA ISSUE #1 – VARIANT COVER BY SHANE DAVIS ISSUE #1 – VARIANT[...]

Damnation finds Wong's team battling it out in all-out war with the possessed Avengers under control of Mephisto. Can they win? Is it a good read?

Damnation comes for Los Vegas after Doctor Strange attempts to resurrect the half-dead city using his newly rejuvenated mystical powers. Unfortunately, he brings Mephisto to Earth as well. Is it a good read?

It will be up to Doctor Strange and his allies to put this hellish genie back in is brimstone bottle. Donny Cates, Nick Spencer, and Rod Reis will be headlining this one. Ninja-K vs the Valiant Universe #2 cover by Kevin Wada Ninja-K vs the Valiant Universe #2 While the first issue of this one didn't quite work for me, I can't[...]

The solicit for the first issue, hitting stores in February, is probably a little more accurate: DOCTOR STRANGE: DAMNATION #1 (OF 5) DONNY CATES & Nick Spencer (W) • ROD REIS (A/C) Variant Cover by RON LIM Variant Cover by TBA CONNECTING VARIANT COVER by GREG SMALLWOOD Trading Card Variant Cover by JOHN TYLER CHRISTOPHER The city of sin gets its biggest[...]

Everyone has been wondering what Nick Spencer will be up to in Marvel Legacy (except for Rich Johnston, who is sure it will be a Spider-Man book) Well, now we have the answer, at least for five issues: a new Doctor Strange mini along with Donny Cates and artist Rod Reis, called Doctor Strange: Damnation[...]

This is a great version of Captain America. It's kind of ironic that Nick Spencer wrote Sam Wilson: Captain America, but he kind of fumbles the ball with the story here This is the last flight of Sam Wilson as Captain America, and he doesn't even wear the colors or pick up the shield for the[...]

But despite all of this, one lingering question is on the minds of the entire nation: what does Nick Spencer think about this? Determined to find out and get rich on clicks in the process, we instructed our top investigative reporters to scour the Secret Empire writer's Twitter account and report back with the insider information[...]

X-Men tie-ins because that story is awful. I stuck with the Avengers through the Jonathan Hickman days, though I did splinter off to the Avengers World title when it started, which was primarily written by Nick Spencer I liked Hickman and Spencer's work quite a bit, but it never quite reached the level of enjoyment I[...]

As the comics community grappled with an alt-right troll movement feigning outrage to get a writer fired from a book as part of harassment-fueled campaign to save comics from "SJWs," Nick Spencer took to Twitter Friday night to tell funny stories about his cat in an attempt to provide a humorous respite from all the[...]

Because I am not only a masochist but a curious masochist as well. That, and I really do think Nick Spencer is a talented writer Secret Empire just happened to turn out to be his self-combusting magnum opus that will be attached to his name for many unfortunate years to come. I loved his Sam Wilson: Captain[...]

Being gluttons for punishment, we watched it to hastily transcribe the comments of Marvel guests Tom Brevoort, Alanna Smith, and Nick Spencer. Here are the highlights: Brevoort, on how Secret Empire ended: It turns out the reason cap was this way had to do with some shenanigans by the cosmic cube […] Two guys punched and hit one another[...]

Superstar writer Nick Spencer has heard the reports of the comics industry's demise, and he thinks they're a bit premature. With apologies to KC Green 2017 has been a down year for comics, and Bleeding Cool reported last week that comics sales had "fallen off a cliff" with August's Diamond Sales Charts But according to Spencer, everything[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Secret Empire #10 is finally here, and the behemoth steamroller of an event from Marvel and writer Nick Spencer is finally over And after the writer and publishers' constant calls to wait and see, to read every issue no matter what your initial reaction is, and ideally spend hundreds of dollars on the various spinoffs[...]

Also, that still kind of makes Hydra Cap the real Steve Rogers, and that's an uncomfortable thought for a lot reasons. Also, this still got Cosmic Cube'd away despite the pleadings of otherwise by the Marvel team and Nick Spencer himself. Seeing a classically costumed Captain America beating the tar out of Hydra Iron Super Cap was[...]

Or, at least, inevitable. Just ask Secret Empire writer Nick Spencer, who responded on Twitter to Marvel spoiling the ending to Secret Empire in the New York Times. https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/902270594061701120 https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/902271852302671872 One idea: don't spoil the ending in the New York Times But that ship has sailed One intrepid follower had a response for Spencer: Bleeding Cool Spoilermonger-in-Chief Rich Johnston. No[...]

Avoid Secret Empire #9. There's some great artwork, and the colors complement it well. However, it doesn’t make the proceedings entertaining in any way.

Will Forbush Man be revealed to be a secret Nazi?! Last but not least of Marvel's slow burn November solicitation rollouts today is Not Brand Ecch, returning as one of several series getting one-shot revivals for Marvel Legacy. Now, we know (some of) the creative team for the book, and the first name is Twitter pundit and[...]
