[Secret Wars] was our introduction to Marvel Comics. I mean, for a whole week I thought Colossus had, like, psychic powers because he was clutching his head like that when Spider-man webbed it up, and I thought, “oh, he’s using his brain power.” -- Al Ewing

Ultimate Spider-Man #2-3

"I was offered Ultimate Spider-Man. Couple reasons why I didn’t take it. One, I was doing Batman. But two, because the whole idea that was pitched–I got to read all the Ultimate Universe stuff that Hickman had already written and he had the plan for other books and stuff–I just read it and was like, oh this is so Hickman. Hickman should be writing this." - Chip Zdarsky

I'm using the concept of "putting on a costume and saving people" in a way that I don’t think I've ever seen before. But hey, that’s me straying into hifalutin' metaphor territory which the PR people hate. So, let's stick with the swashbuckling joy, bad guy-punching, classic Spidey stuff. And lots of romance. Be thou excite. -- Si Spurrier

Mind you, by stunning coincidence, all the flirting and sexytimes in Uncanny Spider-Man — and OMG there are a LOT of those, in fact they’re pretty much constant — revolve specifically around a character with the same unfortunate initials as me. (No, sorry @STRYFEGRENADEHotboi1992, it’s not a story about Nazis, put your trousers back on.) -- Si Spurrier

Uncanny Spider-Man #1 - "Park Life"

I’ve seen a few of the really shouty angry lonely types gnashing and wailing and skyclawing themselves into venomous little comas over incredulous questions like “why the hell would Nightcrawler dress up like Spider-Man?!” To which I quietly chuckle and mumble under my breath “guys, that’s the stooorrrryyyyy,” before hitting block and going off to swim in my giant bath of money. -- Si Spurrier
