Dan Slott finally announces he's done ruining Peter Parker's life, will be ruining Tony Stark's next - Sensationalist Headlines

[quote]How long has Dan Slott been writing Spider-Man stories? In the immortal words of Staind: It’s been a while. The scribe began his run on Marvel Comics’ flagship series, The Amazing Spider-Man, during the 2008 story arc “Brand New Day.” Since then, he’s taken the character on some wild rides: At one point, the entire island of Manhattan got spider-powers, every Spider-Man (and -Woman) from every alternate dimension teamed up, and — perhaps most famously — the supervillain Doctor Octopus took over Spidey’s body for a while. However, the time has come to say, Spider-Man no more. After ten years and 189 issues with Peter Parker, Slott will hang up the costume after June’s The Amazing Spider-Man No. 801. But fear not, Slott-heads — he’s got another big project on the way. We caught up with Slott to talk about why he made the decision to leave the series, what he’s learned about the character, and what’s coming next.[/quote] [url=http://www.vulture.com/2018/01/dan-slott-leaving-amazing-spider-man-will-write-iron-man.html]Vulture[/url] Also wanted to pick out this part of the interview [quote][U]I never thought I’d see you walking away from Spider-Man. Was this a hard decision to make?[/U] This was a decision that was made way long ago. I gotta feel like a jerk, because whenever someone would interview me, or whenever it would come up on panels, I would look out at people and say with a stern look that I was never leaving. Very much in the same way I was saying, “Peter Parker is never coming back. I killed him” [during The Superior Spider-Man]. I lied. I lied horribly. [Laughs.] [B]But that’s what us storytellers do, we spin lies.[/B][/quote]

Wasn't this idiot responsible for retconning the single most interesting plot development since Gwen Stacy's death so that he could have Peter Parker hook up with his OC, who was creepily similar to his real-life daughter or something?

Slott is the one who had Dr Octopus take over Peter body and hook up with a dwarf. Though for all the shit he's given, he still introduced a lot of cool concepts like Kaine as Scarlet Spider, Flash Thompson as Agent Venom and Anti-Venom. And with how much he wanted Peter to become a hero who owned a company and gave him a power suit in Big Time, Iron Man honestly seems like a perfectly good character for him to move on, just as long as his run isn't 100's of issues long that leads to worn out ideas and wheel spinning.

Spider Island was legitimately a lot of fun and Superior was a really cool idea that was never played to its full potential. Most everything else was fairly boring imo. Miles Morales has been my Spider-Man these past several years.
