It took 12.5 years, but we’ve finally done it!
Mark and Dan are thrilled to be joined by Joe Kelly, the current writer of The Amazing Spider-Man, whose history across the Spider-Man line of comics spans over two decades, going all the way back to his time writing Webspinners and 2099: World of Tomorrow. He was part of the Spidey-Braintrust of writers who rotated duties during the Brand New Day era, during which he wrote classics like “The Rage of the Rhino,” “American Son,” and “Grim Hunt.” For our specific purposes, he wrote one of Mark’s favorite comics, the time-traveling Deadpool (vol. 2) #11, in which Spider-Man revisits the events of Amazing Spider-Man #47. Since then, he’s written the hilarious Spider-Man/Deadpool series and miniseries like Non-Stop Spider-Man and Savage Spider-Man. His work across independent titles like I Kill Giants, Rex, Four Eyes, and Bad Dog is the stuff of legends, and these credits don’t even begin to scratch the surface of his TV work, which includes co-creating Ben-10 and even writing and producing Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man.
