After a roller coaster decade writing the adventures of everyone's favorite neighborhood Spider-Man, Dan Slott is leaving the flagship Spidey book to take the reigns of one of Marvel's other heavyweights, Iron Man.
In an interview with Vulture, Slott stated, "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.] But that’s what us storytellers do, we spin lies."
Slott's last Amazing Spider-Man story will be told in issue #801, out in June.
The title of Slott's new Iron Man comic is currently being kept under wraps and there's no word yet on when Marvel will release the first issue.
