At the end of the Pint O' CB Marvel panel today at ECCC, a number of folk asked if their favourite characters would be getting their own series at Marvel.

We salute you, and the keenness you bring to your passion. Superior Spider-Man takes its traditional top place in the chart with Sandman very close behind, and the number one seller in a number of stores It's certainly a success at DC, far more than the Before Watchmen debacle and seemingly worth the new financial deal[...]

It's time for them to share. The current landscape is this: Marvel owns most of its own film licenses, while key film franchise rights like the X-Men and Fantastic Four are still with Fox, and Spider-Man (the character, not just the film rights) is actually co-owned by Sony and Marvel (the terms are in Disney's 10-Q[...]

There are still two more presumably Peter Parker-centric Amazing Spider-Man sequels to go, but spin-off films Sinister Six and Venom are well on their way as well, according to what EW were able to pry out of the bigwigs in charge of the franchise. Here's Sony's big boss Amy Pascal admitted about where Amazing Spider-Man[...]

Bleeding Cool's Tom Huxley writes: Last month, I gave you a run-down on odds of who might be the Superior Spider-Man's arch-nemesis, the Goblin King (Go check those panels again, one of them has a huge clue towards the upcoming 'Spider-Verse' event.)

We've been talking about this for a few weeks, the upcoming Spider-Man event that Joe Quesada told Dan Slott could be the best Spider-Man story Marvel have ever told. Which was why they wouldn't let it be told with Otto Octavius in his head. It's called Spider-Verse. And it features every incarnation of Spider-Man ever[...]

I know, its all the people that forget to hyphenate Spider-Man. Marvel's new teaser image: Every Single One – is it every villain who was ever part of the Sinister Six? Maybe every villain he's ever faced? Everyone in New York he accidentally webbed? The former drummers of Spinal Tap? New Yorkers who crashed their[...]

The gatekeepers would still win out, and for a while yet, as the speculator boom was just getting started. Spider-Man was a character I would meet the slightly outmoded, squeaky-clean and aesthetically radical, cutting-edge versions of within a few months of each other October 1990's Marvel Tales 242, a comic I bought offhand while looking for[...]

Tom Huxley wrote a great Superior Spider-Man-based piece of speculative whimsy this morning over the identity of the Goblin King Check it out.

For example, with Original Sin being Marvel's[...]

Tom Huxley writes for Bleeding Cool, For the past year, a Green Goblin has stalked the Superior Spider-Man in the form of the Goblin King His identity is one that writer Dan Slott has kept close to his chest throughout the run, leaving fans guessing. In the midst of Goblin Nation, with the end of the series[...]

So, Superior Spider-Man is coming to an end It will be replaced by Amazing Spider-Man on the schedules, but there will also be a digital comic, called Who Am I to fill in the gaps. And there will be gaps, it seems, Peter Parker left with no memory And a digital comic by Dan Slott and[...]

Once bitten twice shy. But from the ComicBook.com interview with Image Comics founder and creator of Spawn, Todd McFarlane.

Two new generic international posters for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 were released today Peter's tagline for the new film is the vague enough and probably Harry Osborn related – "His greatest battle begins," but "Enemies will unite" for Electro? Sinister Six is still a good three or four movies away, they sure are teasing it[...]

Producer and screenwriter Roberto Orci answers some questions and raises more about the Amazing Spider-Man franchise in a new indepth interview he did with IGN.
