First Looks at Spider-Man for December

First, a side note - Marvel 2007 Costume Contest - details here. OK, on with the regularly scheduled post.


If you go to the Marvel News site, you can get your first looks at the Marvel solicitations for December. You will see Amazing Spider-Man listed three times, and no more "Friendly" or "Sensational."

If you look at the solicitation info on the Marvel site, or below, you will see that McNiven seems to be the artist on this story arc with Dan Slott as the writer. I'm guessing then that they plan to have each of the "teams" doing their own story arcs. This will make for a better trade collection than it would if they had each team do random issues, and we know Marvel likes to plan for the trade. We shall see if they can keep to their nearly weekly schedule of three issues per month. If they stick with this plan of having each team do an arc then those who are at the end of the line-up should have no problems getting stuff done on-time. Of course, this IS Marvel, so I would not be surprised if it all runs the rails. But I do hope that they can pull it off and still deliver a quality product! *fingers crossed*
