Dan Slott has built a loyal fan base by combining old-school fun
with stories and characterizations friendly to new readers.
Following his run on She-Hulk, Slott moved into the upper echelon
of Marvel writers, launching Avengers- The Initiative and taking
the reins on Mighty Avengers from Brian Michael Bendis. When Marvel
gave Spider-Man a fresh start in 2008, Slott was one of several
rotating writers on the thrice-monthly Amazing Spider-Man. Slott
became the writer most closely identified with the web-slinger's
"Brand New Day" era, and the title hit the "Big Time" when he took
over as full-time writer for a decade-long run filled with stunning
adventures. Slott has also turned his talents to other iconic
Marvel heroes, including soaring the spaceways with Silver Surfer;
helming Tony Stark- Iron Man toward Iron Man 2020; and
masterminding the glorious return of Fantastic Four, leading to his
long-awaited "Reckoning War."

writer Kieron Gillen on Thor led to a subsequent collaboration on
Journey into Mystery.
