Nick Spencer Archive

OK folks, Dan and I have been sitting on this one for a bit but it is well worth the wait. The latest episode of Amazing Spider-Talk, the greatest Spider-Man podcast on the internet includes a very special interview with Nick Spencer and Steve Lieber, the dynamic duo behind

Regardless of how great or terrible a television series may be, it almost always ends up being defined by the quality of its final episode. Who cares if The Sopranos was (for the first four seasons at least) one of the most game-changing dramas in television history? The final episode ended

Superior Foes of Spider-Man #16 is not the final issues of the series, and there are still a number of dangling plot points to be tied up next month when the series does (unfortunately) end. But like many of the very best episodic television shows over the past decade and

I’m about to come across like a stereotypical comic book fan that asks for one thing, gets it, and still finds ways to be unhappy about it. In my post about Superior Foes of Spider-Man #4 in October, I lamented about how the only character in the book that

If the Superior Foes of Spider-Man series is like a really attractive girl that you want to date, but not sure you two are ultimately compatible, that means issue #5 is your first date that went really well, but you’re still not sure that she likes you and issue

I’ve been a little harder than most on the Superior Foes of Spider-Man franchise, mainly because I thought Nick Spencer and Steve Lieber set the bar so high in their debut issue, I’ve probably zeroed in a little too much on any faults I’ve found in the subsequent three
