PROPOSITIONS

Had a fun chat with Chris Schnabel of the Mad Props podcast, talking about music, the creative process, Spider-Man, and other things. Enjoy!

1994

A short one to let you know that the collected edition of Spider-Man '94 is on sale now. (If you want to read a review of the book, just hop over to AIPT for an enthusiastic thumbs up.) No official word from Marvel regarding a return to the '94 universe but—with or without my participation—I hope they do.  

And while I have your attention, let me point you to this announcement, heralding the coming of Amazing Spider-Man #1000. Very happy to be part of the celebration.

Thank you. That is all.

KRAVEN COMES ALIVE

Came across this on YouTube: a full-cast motion comic adaptation of Kraven's Last Hunt. I was very impressed with this and I think you will be, too. Congratulations to the folks who created and performed this adaptation. You did a fantastic job.

COMING UP

Some fun projects coming up this summer from Marvel, starting with the Rocket Racoon 50th anniversary anthology, Rocket Rewind. I've contributed a story, illustrated by my brilliant buddy Shawn McManus, that both pays tribute to, and actually interacts with, the character's 1970s origin tale by Bill Mantlo and the late, great Keith Giffen. The book goes to sale July 31st.

On sale the same day is What If? Spider-Man—which asks the question: "What if Kraven survived his last hunt?" (I vaguely remember that old Kraven tale, but I don''t recall who wrote it.) The art, by Yildiray Cinar, knocked my proverbial socks off—and I suspect you'll have a similar reaction. This one-shot is part of Marvel's celebration of 50 years of What If?

And finally, on sale in August, is a celebration (yes, another one!) of one of Marvel's greatest characters, Mary Jane Watson, who debuted in Amazing Spider-Man 60 years ago.  Mary Jane—Face it, Tiger features a story of mine, beautifully illustrated by Andrea Broccardo, that looks back at a pivotal moment for MJ, inspired by a story from my second Spectacular Spider-Man run.

Collect 'em all! (If you're so inclined!)
