Announced today from Marvel, it looks like editor extraordinaire and all around cool guy Nick Lowe will be leaving the X-Office and heading over to the Web of Spider-Man. It’s pretty exciting news for fans of what Lowe has helped put together in the X-Offices, including but not limited to everything Jason Aaron has done that we’ve all pretty much universally celebrated and thrown our money at. While Wacker left quite a high legacy and shoes to fill before leaving, it’ll be very interesting to see what Lowe can help with as Peter returns and 2014 leaves a whole mess of new opportunities for Spider-Man and Friends.
