So, since I've started wrapping up FNSM "Season 1", I thought it'd be nice to share a little shortlist (that evolved into a rather long list that also explained why I like them and their work) of artists I'd like to see helm the title. This includes artists that I've already put in the preferred artist slot, as well as other artists that I personally like that I think would work with the tone of FNSM in general.
- Stefano Caselli- The man rocks it, and as a guy who's pretty much stapled to Marvel, I'm sure you guys have read at least one book with his art (ASM, Avengers: The Initative, Riri IIM, and Hickman's Avengers). Even if the writing blows, he usually carries it with his art with probably the most realisticly stylized art in the industry, making him the perfect choice for a Spider-Man run.
- Sarah Stone- If you've never heard of her, there may be a good reason: she's pretty much exclusive to IDW (Her work being Transformers: Windblade and a single issue of Transformers: Robots in Disguise, as well as several covers for Baldur and interiors for the as-of-yet unpublished Spectrum). That and she's done very little published work due to being sick. But the reason I chose her for "In Avengers We Trust" is her ability to draw mechs as well as humans, hence a great artist for somebody like Iron Man and Spider-Man for prolonged periods.
- Mirka Andolfo- Mostly a DC artist (I know her mostly from her DC Bombshells tenure) but she did the first two issues of the Ms. Marvel 2016 relaunch. (#12 for the 2015 registry) but she does rather... not cutesy, but certainly not exceptionally gritty artwork. She's kind of an in-betweener.
- David Marquez- Up there with Caselli. He's most known for his exclusiveness to Bendis (He's done a lot of titles with the guy) and if you've never read the first five issues of Invincible Iron Man (2015), his Miles Morales work, or Civil War II (Bit of a stretch) the guy makes every panel worth looking at.
- Alex Milne- Another IDW guy. He's another IDW staple, having been the head artist for Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye since 2012 (A comic which I seriously recommend for anybody, even if they're not a Transformers person; great writing and art for those with good taste) but he's had some trouble with editorial following miscommunication over his role in Lost Light (The MTMTE relaunch) but I would kill to get him as an artist.
- Joey Vazquez- He doesn't have any published work yet (He literally got hired to Marvel last year), but his deviantart profile and self-created Digital Spider-Man will give you an idea of what he's good at; Spider-Man. He's a more refined Humberto Ramos, with just as much energy but more anatomically correct proportions, if incredibly stylized.
- Terry Dodson- The guy draws a good Black Cat. If there was a reason to pick up The Evil That Men Do, it's Dodson's art.

Nice List. Totally Agree With You On David Marquez And Stefano Caselli. Now, Here Are My Preferred Artists For Spider-Man:
Stuart Immonen: The Guy Has Done Works On Spider-Man Before On Ultimate Spider-Man, An Issue Of Spider-Man Unlimited, New Avengers, Fear Itself, Heroic Age, And Of Course(Sadly) The Current Arc By Dan Slott. The Guy Does A Brilliant Depiction Of Peter Parker That I've Ever Seen. The Guy Captures The Emotions, Pressure, Tensions, And Intensity Happening To Each Characters And Fill Things With Such Horror And Craziness For Each Characters. I Also Love To See Him Handle Some Romantic Related Stories Involving Peter And MJ. Speaking Of MJ, I'd Love To See His Depiction Of MJ. I Believe He Can Do A Brilliant MJ Since He Depicted Jean Grey Very Well In His Work On All New X-Men. So Far His Only Depiction Of Her Comes From Ultimate So I'd Love To See How He Does The 616 Version Of The Character.
Phil Noto-I'd Love To See How He Does On The Character Having Some Much Scientific And Intellectual Feel Towards The Character And Have This Spy/Espionage Feel To It. I Also Like To See Some Deep Psychological Story Involving Peter And MJ Since He's Done So Well On His Works On Black Widow.
Adam Kubert-The Guy Has Done Spider-Man Before In Dark Reign: The List: Spider-Man, Astonishing Spider-Man/Wolverine, AvX Issue # 9, Renew Your Vows Vol 1, And The Upcoming Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man Series by Chip Zdarksy. The Guy Can Make Things Intense, Warm, Heartwarming, Exciting, Entertaining, And Magical Towards The Character. He Could Also Make Some Great Romance Towards Peter And MJ Like He Did Back In The First Volume Of Renew Your Vows. So Seeing Him Touch Upon The Magic Of The Character And The Romance Would Be Really Great To See.
Leinel Francis Yu-He Did An Issue Of Avenging Spider-Man Featuring His Time With Cap, Secret Invasion, New Avengers, And Secret Wars: Civil War. The Guy Could Do Well With The Psychological Horror Towards The Character And Could Actually Do Well With Some Stories Involving Kraven. He Can Make Things More Intense For The Character And For Other Characters Like Kraven, Norman, Shocker, Electro, Kingpin, Jameson, Mary Jane, Eddie Brock, Cletus, Flash Thompson, Betty, Joseph Robertson, And Other Characters Like Mac Gargan And The Chameleon.
Nick Bradshaw & Arthur Adams-While Nick Has Done Some Issues Of Spidey And Has Done Some Involvements In The Romance, Both Him And Arthur Could Actually Capture The Emotion And Intensity And Epic Feel Towards The Character, His Struggles, His Crazy Life As A Hero And A Civilian, And His Involvement With MJ. They Could Also Make Things Horrorific Towards The Characters. They Could Actually Deal With Some Monsters Or Sadistic Murderers. Things Would Be Pretty Crazy For The Two.
GuriHiru-The Guy Has Done Spider-Man Before In Some Crossovers With The Power Pack And Some Variant Covers. So I'd Like To See Him Handle A Couple Of Special Since He Obviously Captures The Family Friendly Styles Of Some Of The Stories. I Would Like To See Him Involved More On The Parker Family And Mostly Annie's Stories.
Daniel Acuna-The Guy Has Done Work For The Character Back In Avengers And New Avengers by Brian Michael Bendis. I'd Like To See Him Tackle On The Character Which Would Involve Some More Grounded And Horror And Thriller Type Of Stories. He Could Have Some Important Stories Involving Mary Jane And His More Personal Lives As Peter Parker. Things Would Actually Be Pretty Exciting For The Character.
Marguirette Bennett/Sauvage-While Doing Some DC Works On Bombshells And Wonder Woman And Even Black Canary, She Has Done Some Work On Thor, Has Written For Angela, And Has Done That Short Story Of RYV In The First Issue. I Like To See Her Tackle Some Stories Or A Comic Involving Mary Jane Since She Captures The More Beautiful And Fashionable Style Of The Character And Attitude. She Could Make Things More Enjoyable And Exciting. Plus, She Actually Does Capture On Of The Best Depictions Of Mary Jane That I've Actually Ever Seen. So, I'd Like To See Her Handling Both Peter And MJ.
Guieseppe Camuncoli-While Being Stuck Under A Rut By Slott, The Guy Does Have The Potential To Capture The Psychology And Intensity Of The Character If Done Right And Can Actually Do A Really Good Job With The Marriage As Seen In The Short Story by JM DeMatteis In Issue # 700 Of Slott's ASM Run. So, If Done By The Right Writer, The Guy Could Have The Potential To Have Some Of The Best Takes On The Character.
David Aja-Back In Fraction's Hawkeye Series, The Guy Could Perfect Capture The Everyday Life And Indie Feel Of The Character Making It Feel Fresh, Heartwarming, Enjoyable, And Entertaining And Even More LightHearted In Some Areas. So, If They Ever Do Go More Indie On The Character, I'd Love To See Aja Tackle That On The Character Like He Did In His Hawkeye Series.
Jim Cheung-The Guy Did The Character Back In His Young Avengers Books, New Avengers, Avengers, Some Covers Of Spider-Men, And Issue Of Spider-Man Unlimited, AvX, And The Recent Clone Conspiracy Arc/Event. The Guy Can Be Able To Capture The Magical And Psychological Horror Of The Character And Can Make Things More Heartwarming, Whimisical, And Have This Sort Of Sci Fi Magic Feel To Them. Plus, He Could Handle The Marriage And Family Aspect Better In More Certain And More Personal Stories For Each Character.
Tony Moore-The Guy Has Done Works On Agent Venom And Even Deadpool If You Ever Want To Count Him. The Guy Can Do This Whole Cartoonish Horror To What The Character Would Actually Be Facing Like Mostly In Night In Some Ruined Areas When He Gets Attacked By Horrifying Villains Like The Green Goblin, The Hob Goblin, Venom, Carnage, Lizard, Kraven, And Rhino For Intensity Purposes. The Guy Could Make Things More Exciting For The Character.
Ryan Ottley-Better Known To His Work On Invincible And An Issue Of Superman/Batman(Starring Deadpool), The Guy Could Handle The Intensity And Craziness Of What The Character Of Spider-Man Would Be Going Through Knowing His Work On Invincible. The Guy Could Handle Some Great Expressions For The Character Whenever Things Get A Bit More Intense Or Sorrow For Them. He Can Also Handle The Romance Between The Characters As Well Including Handling The Family Aspect Looking At His Work On Invincible. I'd Love To See How He'd Handle The Likes Of Goblin And Octavious And Even Cletus And Kraven And Even Eddie Brock.
Hannah Blumenreich-As You Guys May Have Known, The Woman Has Been Working On Some Short Stories Featuring The Character Mostly Involving His Time As A Teenager. The Writer/Artist Has Recieved Some Awards For Her Stories And Got A Position At Marvel Doing A Short Story Featuring Peter And His Care On A Lost Dog. Her Stories Can Make Things More Heartwarming, Naturally, Hopeful, And Grounded. While Doing Some Works On The Character, She Has Never Done One On The Adult Version. Though, Luckily She Admitted That She Wants Peter To Be A Highschool Teacher. The Woman Really Knows Her Peter And Spider-Man. So, She Should Have No Problem With The Character. I'd Love To See Her Handling The Romance And The Family Aspects Making Them Feel More Refreshing And More Hopeful And Grounded Towards Reality. Plus, She Could Be The First Female Writer/Artist In The Longest Ongoing For The Character. So Giving Her A Position For Such An Iconic Character Could Actually Mean Something Not Just For Female Writers And Creators, But Also Diverse Creators In General.
Gabrielle Dell Otto-While Doing Some Variant Covers For The Character, He Has Done Some Works Back In Secret War by Bendis And The Graphic Novel Called Family Business by Mark Waid And James Robinson. I'd Like To See Him Tackle Another Spy/Espionage Story Featuring Black Widow As A Game Of Wit And A Psychological Study As Both Insects Play Games With Eachother. I Also Like To See Him Tackle On A Thriller Type Of Story Featuring And Inspired By Real Life Events Such As Black Lives Matter And Other Terrorized Events. The Guy Could Make Things Feel More Dangerous For The Character And His Loved Ones.
Olivier Coipel-The Guy Has Done Some Work On The Character Before Back In The Avengers And New Avengers by Bendis, The Heroic Age, Seige, AvX, A Few Issues Of Spider-Verse, And Possibly Dark Reign. The Guy Can Handle Some More Intense, Magical, And Horrific Events Towards The Character. Like The Fights Can Become More Barbaric And Life Threatening And Can Make Things Alot More Cinematic For Each Each Character And Events. The Guy Could Do Well With The Romance And Family Aspect As Well As The More Deep And Personal Aspects. I'd Love To See Him Tackle Some More Magical And Sci Fi Related Stories.
Nilah Magruder-The Only Marvel Work She Seems To Have Done Is The Marvel Infinite Comic Series Featuring Rocket Raccoon And Tippy Toe. While Just Starting Her Work At Marvel, The Woman Can Make Some More Family Friendly And Heartwarming Aspects For The Characters And I'd Honestly Love To See Her Handle The Romance And Some Stories Featuring Annie. She Can Be Able To Make Things More Enjoyable For Them And Could Be The First African American Female Handling Such An Iconic Character As Spider-Man As Well As His Family.
Paolo Rivera-While The Guy Did Some Works For The Character Post OMD He Has Sadly Been Involved In The Dreaded OMIT Story by Joe Quesada. The Guy Could Actually Make Up For This If He Could Handle The More Romantic Aspect Of The Character As Well As The More Horrific And Psychological Stories Involving The Character. The Guy Perfectly Captures The Classic 60s And 70s Feel Like Marcos Martin, Mike Allred, David Aja, And Tim Sale And Even Ty Templeton. So Hopefully Rivera Will Be Able To Make Up For Them.
Veronica Fish-With Her Work On Spider-Woman, The Woman Can Actually Capture The More Fun And Classic Feel Of The Stories. She Also Has This More Charming, Cartoonish, And A Bit Thrillish Feel So Seeing Her Handle Spider-Man And His Family Would Be A Great Treat.
Mark Bagley-The Guy Famous For His Long Time Works On The Character Back In Spectacular, Amazing, Web Of, Ultimate, And His Involvement With The Avengers And His Upcoming Scarlet Spider Series. He Actually Captures The More Romantic Aspects And More Psychological Aspects. With How He Does The Characters In Terms Of Warmths, Tension, Pressure, Intensity, And Psychology, He's Been Able To Make Them More Engaging Drawing You In. Plus, He Does Well With The Romantic Side Making Them Feel Heartwarming, Organic, Real, And Life Like. I Like To See Him Be The One Who Introduce Us To The Merge And The Start Of Marvel's Own Rebirth Series. It'd Be A Very Brilliant And More Meaningful Welcome To The Character.
Sandford Greene-Not Anything Has Been Shown For The Character But His Depiction On Miles And Deadpool In His Work On Power Man & Iron Fist Does Show He Has Some Decent Potential. With His Depiction On Some Crazy Pop Culture And Cartoonish Depiction On Surburban Areas And Street Level Crime, He Could Make Things Pretty Exciting For The Character. I'd Also Like To See A Story Involving His Romance With Mary Jane And His Time With His Daughter Annie.
Todd Nauck-The Guy Is Best Known For His Works On The Character And Has Been Been Involved In Some Really Great Stories With The Character. He Also Seems To Be A Strong Supporter Of The Marriage Seeing His Fan Arts. So Seeing Him Do Some More Stories Even Ones Mostly Involving His Time With His Family Could Be A Very Nice Welcome For Fans And Himself.
Mark Brooks-The Guy Has Done Works For The Character Back In The Marvel Age Series, The Ultimate Spider-Man Annual Featuring Kitty Pryde, Punisher, And Daredevil, Avengers, New Avengers, And That Spider-Man/Howard The Duck Crossover Story. As A Big Anime/Manga Fan I'd Love To See Him More Involved With The Character And Handle The Romance And Family Aspects Making Them Feel More Heartwarming And Grounded.
Alex Ross-The Guy Has Done Some Variant Covers Featuring The Character And Has Done Some Under Slott. The Guy Has Got The Potential To Make Some Really Compelling And Breathtaking Work On The Character If Handled Correctly By The Right Kind Of Story He's Suppose To Be Involved In. The Guy Can Make A Great Romantic Cover Featuring Peter And MJ. So, Hopefully He'll Be Able To Have That In Some Future Issues Of RYV And Some Books Not Under Slott.
Chris Bachalo-The Guy Has Done Work On The Character Back In His Run On ASM by Zeb Wells And In Some Avengers Books As Well As His Wok On The Sinister Spider-Man. He Can Actually Bring The More Dark, Craziness, Wickedness, And Even Intensity Of The Character's Struggles And Life. He Could Also Make Thing More Enjoyable Between Him, Mary Jane, Annie, Felicia, Jameson, Eddie, Connors, Cletus, Octavious, Kraven, Norman, Betty, Flash, Joseph Robertson, Ben Urich, And A Couple More Others. It'd Actually Be Really Exciting To See That Happening To The Character And The People Around Him.
Stephanie Hans-With Her Work On Angela, I Like To See Her Involved In A Story About Something Magical And Psychological Towards The Character And Have Her Be Involved In Some Romance With Mary Jane. She Captures The More Magical And Vibrant Style Of This Kind Of Story The Characters Would Be Involved In.
Honorable Mentions: Kris Anka, Carlo Barberi, Ron Frenz, Ed McGuinness, Dustin Weaver, Jerome Opena, Clayton Henry, Joe Maduiera, Ty Templeton, Marcos Martin, Scott Kobish, Ramon Perez, Bengal, Leonardo Romero, Greg Smallwood, Chris Samnee, And Even Ron Garney, Mike Del Mundo, Goran Sudzuka, And Joe Quinones.
