The one that kept popping into my mind was Deadpool.
Spider-Man: The Dan Slott Years
Rumors have been circulating that long time Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott will soon be ending his almost ten year run on Amazing Spider-Man. While Slott has been denying the rumor for awhile, the March 2018 solicit for Amazing Spider-Man #797 states that “Dan Slott has saved his most harrowing Spider-Man story for last…” and even the title of the story arc seems to play at the writer’s departure, named “Go Down Swinging”.

Hawkeye (Kelly Thompson's "Real" Hero)
Kate Bishop, the newest version of Hawkeye is probably the only hero who I wouldn't mind replacing her predecessor.
Why? How does Kelly Thompson do it?

Many of the characters and plot points that fans thought would hurt this series are actually strengths. WARNING: Spoilers Ahead!!!
Moon Knight on Netflix (Why The Hero And His Alter Egos Deserve Their Own Series)
But there is one hero who constantly keeps getting mentioned by fans as a favorite choice for an upcoming Netflix series—Moon Knight!
