Read this article. I think I found out why Marvel Knights Spider Man has been a little sub-par.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Knights_Spider-Man

Evidently is was originally supposed to be written by Kevin Smith. I guess Mark Millar was the first of the Ultimates writers to be in the 616 continuity. No wonder it's been a little loopy, eh?

Um, yeah, couldn't you have posted this in a similar topic?

There wasn't one that I was aware of.

Alrighty, just making sure dude.

um, i like kevin smith n all but if he was writing MK spiderman, we'd get a new issue every six years.

^^^ If he'd stop witht the Jay and Silent Bob movies for a year or so that wouldn't be a problem. He's working on a sequel to Clerks.

Kevin Smith's spider-man/black cat was a trial from marvel so he could Write Amazing Spider-Man. He later turned down the offer after given a chance.

he's still writing Daredevil/Bullseye:The Target The first issue came out in late '03 and the next one still hasn't come out.

He's a busy guy, and in high demand. He'd be a perfect Spidey writer, mostly because he doesn't have a villain bias. Those are the best.

But still, changing writers...I know that's bad I write and each writer has their own vision to how storys should go.

Well, the beauty of Kevin Smith is that he knows the history of 95% of Marvel Comics, and doesn't have any bias toward any one villain or hero, even though he likes to write Daredevil. I just wish that Marvel could go back to the amazing writers like Smith, McFarlane (a snowballs chance in hell), and Frank Miller. Spidey would have some better comics that way.
