Why is Marvel still paying this asshole to write their most popular character exactly?
you better not be lurking Slott

>recent stories are bland

He's always been a bland writer, he has good ideas and poor execution, he should be an editor and leave writing for those that can write fun stories.

>Why is Marvel still paying this asshole to write their most popular character exactly?

Same reason Marvel does anything, its a cesspool of failure where everyone is covering each other's ass.

Kiss my ass you whiney little fuck

"loyalty"

>Superior Spider-man was hated among fans
Literally "fuck you I liked it" kind of case imo

>He's always been a bland writer
Exactly. The only reason Superior Spider-Man is as divisive as it is (despite being shit) is that it offered at least some excitement compared to all the boring shit Slott wrote before.

Tbh Superior was just a copy of that one episode of JLU but extremely dragged out and more cucking

Because he's a loyal company stooge and a proponent of the Bevroot method of PR; e.i. actively trying to piss of the fanbase in order to boost sales. And it still works to this day because Spiderfags are huge cucks that will swallow any shit Marvel prints as long as it has Spider-Man in the title

Slott is very good with underused characters, especially when he rips off Dr. Who.

His Silver Surfer is very good.
His Hank Pym is probably the best written version of the character.
His She-Hulk is arguably the best take on the character.

His Spider-Man run started off really strong with Big Time, but Spock was too cartoonish, and after that, the series has been a mess.

Let him write Hank Pym, or Hercules, or Adam Warlock, even a Nick Fury by him could be very entertaining.

What about the goblin arc?

It was good.

>Why is Marvel still paying this asshole to write their most popular character exactly?

Have you looked at the sales charts over the last year? Once you remove the events and Star Wars and #1 relaunches, Slott's Spider-Man is the top selling Marvel title even though it's been in decline.

>His She-Hulk is arguably the best take on the character.
Fuck off, casual.
>started off really strong with Big Time
Big Time was as mediocre as everything else he writes, The only good thing about it was the arc with Marcos Martin's art.

Spider-Man is too big to fall at this point.

Superior is one of the best Spidey stories.

because he's the best option they have, a continuityfag who also has comedy chops
Robbie Thompson or Hastings could take over in a while
but I wouldn't' want someone shitty like Zdarsky or most of Marvel's roster to take over, at least Slott is the evil we know

Going to disagree with you there, mainly because the supporting cast all need an IQ below 80 to not figure out that Peter is being possessed by Oc.

However, it does do a lot to forward Peter's career. Spider-Man should have been using robotic technology by the 90's to help him fight crime. And Peter as a business owner works great in theory. He has more power, and more responsibility.

Also, as much as I hate to admit it, Oc makes a better Peter than Peter (but a worse Spider-Man,) because Peter is obsessed with being altruistic as his own expense to the point with it becomes an obsession. Having Doc look after Peter first showed that Peter could make a larger change in his universe than just protecting Queens and Manhattan.

>Why is Marvel still paying this asshole to write their most popular character exactly?
The same reason why DC is still paying Snyder to write Batman comics after all the horrible, bland shit he has written.
The industry is fucking dead and kept alive for IP farming only, and they're harmless enough not to shake up things too much and keep everything steady.

At 55kish. It's doing almost half of DC's flagship hero. That's a disgrace.

That's still the most steady title that Marvel has.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned

>even though it's been in decline.

It's been dropping since Spider-Verse. The only gains it got after Spider-Verse ended were minimal (usually it was due to something like, say, a relaunched #1).

Slott's Spider-Man outselling Marvel's other titles says more about how Marvel seems to be having problems overall rather than saying that his Spider-Man is good.

Does he have the longest insufferable run for a Spidey writer yet?

Which is doing half of a steady DC book. That isn't good at all.

The most recent one?
No it wasn't. Spider-Man didn't even save the day in the end, everyone else did.

Don't you have the next 200 issues of Spider-Man to write?

Spider-Man is always going to sell, no matter the writer. You're out of your mind if you think it wouldn't be selling more with a better writer.

>His She-Hulk is arguably the best take on the character.
You need to read Byrne's Sensational before you go and say something like that.

he should take over Fantastic Four when they come back, the Human Torch /Spider-Man mini was perfect and The Thing series was really great

>Spider-Man is always going to sell, no matter the writer.

Did you know that sixteen years ago, before JMS came on board, that ASM was selling in the 49,000s? When you consider that four years prior to that it was selling in the 69,000's it was a major drop.

Pretending that Spider-Man or Batman will always sell regardless of the writer is denying reality.

You mean to say that the unanimously despised Mackie run still sold almost 50k copies every issue, without the aid of current day Marvel's bullshit number-inflating tactics?
Are you sure you want this to be your argument?

>Fantastic Four
>coming back

Fuck off Slott he said no lurking.

I'm pretty sure he along with the other three (Bendis, Spencer, Quesadilla) pretty much are blackmailing the HELL out of someone at Marvel.

Meh, he can write Spider-Man for the rest of his life for all I care. I'll outlive him and see a better writer take over. Until then there are other better comics to read

The amazing thing is that anyone is still actually buying the new stuff that Marvel puts out these days. Is it misguided hope that they might return to their glory days? Over-attachment to characters even when they're handled completely wrong?

because like bendis he gots connections

Your argument is "It would be selling better with a better writer!" Yes, of fucking course it would. But Marvel is fucked now to the point that Slott at lower-quality-mode on Spider-Man is a top seller for them. They don't want to mess with that.

I'm just waiting for Slott to upload his consciousness into a robot so he can write ASM forever now.

Jesus, Sloot looks like that bum that would sell you newspapers, chocolate bars and porn mags in subway tunnels. And he definitely looks like the guy I'd hire to pen my most known character property for my billions of dollars media empire. Dan looks like he has no self-respect.
