There's a lot we still don't know about the state of the Spider-Man franchise once Amazing Spider-Man #1 launches in April. What will become of Otto Octavius after Peter reclaims his body? Will Amazing still ship twice a month? What will become of Superior Spider-Man Team-Up and Superior Foes of Spider-Man?

We'll probably find out the answers to some of these questions when the next batch of Marvel solicits arrives. But it seems as if Marvel has plans for at least one new Spider-Man comic. In today's Superior Spider-Man #27, editor Steve Wacker presided over his final letter column before transitioning over to his new position at Marvel Animation. And he left readers with this little tidbit:

"The Spider-Man 2099 that Ellie [Pyle] is putting together for later in the year would be a great bit of surprising news! If it were true, that is."

Evasive, maybe, but we find it hard to believe Wacker would allude to a new Spider-Man 2099 series if it weren't definitely in the works. Superior Spider-Man certainly seems to have laid the groundwork for a new book, with Miguel O'Hara being dragged from the future and stranded in the present, and now working undercover alongside the grandfather of his great nemesis, Tyler Stone.The only real question is when exactly we can expect this new series, and which creators will be on board. Is it too much to hope that Spidey 2099 creator Peter David will write the series? Probably, if this tweet is any indication. For now, let us know what you think about the possibility of more Spider-Man 2099 in the comments section below.
