CB Cebulski broke the internet yesterday when he finally announced the project he'd been hyping for days, the one that would "leave the industry's collective jaw on the floor," and he did not disappoint. While some thought it might be Fantastic Four related, or even a comic adaptation of Raimi's Spider-Man 4, it was even better than all that:
Writer Henry Abrams will be relaunching Spider-Man with a brand new #1! He's also introducing a new villain, CADAVEROUS, "who will cause problems for Spider-Man." Henry reports Spider-Man editor Nick Lowe has been courting him for a decade, since he was ten years old!
Anyway, we're all very excited, this announcement frankly supplanted Hickman's X-Men as Marvel's most anticipated book. And while details are scarce, I thought we might discuss Henry Abrams' career. Highlights, past work you loved, hated, stuff you like about his work, what you think he'll bring to Spidey, etc. Anything Henry Abrams, Marvel's hottest new writer.
Oh god, he looks like a twelve year old version of his father. Are we sure JJ didn't get cloned?
Ayden Gonzalez
Maybe South Park wasn’t as far off about JJ like we thought.
Liam Watson
I wouldn't even pirate this shit.
Jordan Bell
kill of mary jane, let peter be with gwen for once that isn't a fake reality like house of m
gwen stacy's death not only marked the ending era for good comics, but for marvel to set rules when it comes to their comics: kill of gwen stacy, peter will always be with mary jane make sure thor is stronger than hulk not matter the bullshit that sort of shit
Ayden Flores
This
Asher Garcia
is that the tAS-M2 suit?
Jacob Ortiz
>even a fucking comic book has lens flares
Camden Ramirez
WHAT A LOAD OF NEPOTISTIC SHIT.
Camden Bennett
>Nick Lowe has been courting him for a decade, since he was ten years old!
>HENRY I feel like I’ve developed not just as a writer, but someone that can appreciate stories more. Spider-Man is one of those superheroes where the more you read about him, for me at least, the less I understand him. He’s so anti-everything that you’d expect from a hero. I think Stan Lee said something about putting the human in superhuman. That is what we’re trying to do.
If he can write a better Spider-Man than Slott and most of the BND era writers, then I'd be okay with it. I don't think this was a book that needed a countdown announcement, that just soured too many people on it.
Thomas Long
The book didn't need to exist. There's already too many ongoing Spider-Man comics. Why keep making more?
Daniel Barnes
>related to JJ abrams Ah, so he will get his dick removed as penance for the sequel trilogy along with the rest of the abrams family, i see
Anthony Evans
This is a miniseries, your complaint would've meant something if they announced this as an ongoing.
Jaxson Wright
Who? >J.J. Abrams kid It's gonna be shit
Adam Bell
Literally who?
Sebastian Rivera
It's still going to be competing with other Spider-Man books for sales.
Jaxon Watson
The Spider-books as a whole are Marvel's biggest money earner right now.
Christian Sullivan
It's conventional wisdom that you don't get your kid a Ferrari as their first car, you get them something practical that they'll learn to appreciate the value of, and that won't be as big a deal when they inevitably fuck it up.
He's a literally who with a good track record of producing quality work, JJ Abrams son is a literally who who has produced nothing but has a famous franchise wrecker as a dad.
Jaxon Price
>Henry reports Spider-Man editor Nick Lowe has been courting him for a decade, since he was ten years old! #pedowood #pizzagate
Anthony Peterson
Why the fuck did Marvel even hype this up?
Matthew Scott
Nice to see Hollywood is still killing comics.
Wyatt Hernandez
Because their bosses' bosses told them to. As in very important people at Marvel would look bad or get sacked if they didn't suck Abrams's dick.
Nathaniel Powell
I thought that was at least gonna be a mini?
Nolan Ross
It is a mini, OP is a faggot as always
Nolan Phillips
>He's a literally who with a good track record of producing quality work
You have a very, very, very low gauge for "good quality", I see.
David Murphy
He's claiming it's because of an shift in the editorial staff that he's basically being ostracized, but he doesn't know why.
James Young
he's cute
Michael Myers
Why are people pretending to be so upset about this??? Maybe the book will be good...who cares who writes it? JJ Abrams is usually solid (despite having shitty endings) did people REALLY think disney hired Raimi and Tobey to come back to make spiderman 4?
So that's how the got JJ back for the third star wars, he made Disney give his son a gig at Marvel.
Easton Roberts
Fag looks like a young Chris Kattan
Levi Gonzalez
>DAAAAAAADDY I WANT TO WRITE SPIDER-MAN TOO
Gabriel Gray
CB Cebulski always does this. He's trash at it.
Jose Brooks
Does America still care about a white Spider-Man or Mary Jane?
Cameron Nguyen
Only the niche cares and they'll throw a tantrum if change happens.
Brayden Phillips
>Cadaverous >as in cadavers oh boy another villain who dicks up all spider-man's deceased friends and loved ones to
Carter Nguyen
Gwen Stacy always sucked
Gavin Rivera
Because it's straight up nepotism. People have been working their asses off for years to get an opportunity write for Marvel. People who have written for them in the past are being frozen out. But this dweeb gets a book, hype and a fucking announcement in the New York Times because his dad is JJ Abrams despite the fact he's done nothing at all.
>JJ Abrams is usually solid No. And do you think JJ Abrams is actually writing shit? Maybe his kid will run some ideas by him but he's not writing shit. His name is on there because it will draw people in, period. That's how the co-writer gimmick works. Bru already revealed this bit of smoke and mirrors when he said the Iron Fist stuff he "co-wrote" with Matt Fraction was almost entirely Fraction, his name was only on the book to draw in readers since Fraction was an unknown.
Matthew Phillips
the kid is 20 (for serious)
Cameron Foster
Kid looks like a fetus and he has two Eisners? Fucking zoomers man.
John Layman, creator of Chew, on and off again writer for Big Two stuff.
Cameron Hughes
Spider-Man is Marvel's Batman.
Evan Collins
>There's already too many ongoing Spider-Man comics There's only two ongoings right now, what the fuck are you going on about?
Samuel Thompson
I can't wait. This is going to be epic
Aiden Gonzalez
>guy got a job for nepotism why would I care? its not my job. Plus its not like he's getting someone kicked off a book.
Asher Ortiz
Nigga spidey already has two on goings two minis with a third starting this week an event tie in book and like two spin offs with far more boring legacy characters
Chase Williams
America doesn’t care about comics in general. Don’t pretend like you’re little fetish character with nothing to add to the name he stole is any different
Gabriel Cook
Wait, wait ,wait a fucking minute. Is it a relaunch or is it a miniseries? Guys, someone answer this, please
Benjamin Anderson
>thor stronger than hulk But that's wrong
Isaiah Ortiz
Moviefags think otherwise
Austin Garcia
>the absolute STATE of movie watchers fuck off ya dumb dork, anyone with half a brain knows gwen was a shit fucking character
>never wrote a comic >daddy how do write a comic >well you see, you just have to buy hollywood out so they are blind to it >and? >you get to write Spider-Man son
Fuck this shit
Jackson Brown
Image literally touts Chew as the best success story they have. Cause it isn't about making someone a Kirkman, it is about putting someone on the comicbook market and launching an entire career
Kevin Lopez
>JJ Abrams is usually solid On writing? What? Felicity, Alias and Lost are his mainw riting credits
Julian Peterson
Call me back when Hulk can escape black holes, behead a celestial, fly through planets and stars, and tank black hole explosions (possible he did the last one)
Bentley Roberts
I truly have no earthly idea why I'm supposed to be excited about this. What has this person done to warrant being given a writing gig at Marvel? This just seems like naked nepotism.
