11 Reasons You're Wrong About Marvel Legacy

5. A New Day For Spider-Man

We're about seven or so years into Dan Slott's run on Spider-Man, and, while it's undoubtedly had its highs, it's about time we got to see some other writers get a shot at the character.

That's where the Spectacular Spider-Man comes in. Written by Chip Zdarsky, the series debuted to a strong reception back in June, and things look set to continue come Legacy, hopefully with more appearances by Johnny Storm. The best thing about it is, however, that Parker will be on bad terms with the NYPD once more, with the series returning the character to his vigilante roots. Some might mark this as a regressive move, but Zdarsky has a brilliant track-record, and his style lends itself well to a Parker-oriented book (as has been the case thus far).

Peter David, one of Marvel's most famous and indeed greatest talents, will also be returning to the character, albeit his clone, in Scarlet Spider. Legacy will necessitate a change in wardrobe for the blond-haired wall-crawler, however, with the character reverting to his traditional denim-hoodie look and not... whatever the suit he rocked earlier on was.

On top of titles like Venom and Silver Sable, Marvel are returning the web-slinger to a more familiar place in the character's history, and while Slott will be free to do his own thing in the main Spider-Man book, it's great to see other writers really getting stuck into some of the hero's most beloved supporting characters.
