Bailey managed to escape and was taken under Spider-Man and Daredevil’s wings.

While some may findSpider-Boy’scancelation disappointing, Slott makes it clear that ending the Marvel series was his choice.

But Slott made it clear that this wasn’t a decision he made lightly.

Maybe Slott will get another chance to write Bailey again someday.

But for now, Dan Slott is stepping away from theSpider-Verseto put all his effort intoSuperman.
