Looks like Marvel has created a new Spider-Man book: Avenging Spider-Man just for Joe Madureira. I've always been a fan of his back in the days when he was working on Uncanny X-Men as well as his own creator-owned book Battle Chasers. That is until, even he couldn't finish his own book that he started. And of course there is the disaster known as The Ultimates 3.

So, even though my interest here is piqued, based on Joe's track record, this too will follow down the same path of missed shipping dates. If I were Marvel, I wouldn't announce this new title until Joe has at least 6 issues in the can. More pencil pages in the link. Cool stuff.

Whats Joe's problem. Does he  just work too slow?

I have no idea. But what I have heard and this is passed down from like 3-4 sources, so it's bound to get manipulated and altered through each person telling the story. But what I hear is that he doesn't like doing comics and kind of thinks he is "above" doing comic related work. That it's beneath him. Now if that is true, then he will always have a blase approach about the work and look for anything else to work on and usually does. But don't quote me as this being fact, I'm just repeating what I have heard.

Just found this interview. Its old but I think it shows he  actually enjoys doing comic work.

You know it's probably true. People and interests do change. But if that's so I wonder why he's doing spiderman now? I suppose he has to put food on the table just like the rest of us.
