Editing Peter David (section)

====2000s====
David's early 2000s work includes runs on two volumes of ''[[Genis-Vell|Captain Marvel]]'' as well as the ''Before the Fantastic Four: Reed Richards'' limited series.<ref>Manning "2000s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 302: "The man who would become Mr. Fantastic starred in a three-issue limited series. Courtesy of writer Peter David and artist Duncan Fegredo, it was an Indiana Jones-like adventure."</ref>

David and his second wife, Kathleen, wrote the final English-language text for the first four volumes of the [[manga]] series ''[[Negima]]'' for [[Del Rey Books|Del Rey Manga]].<ref name=Q&A3-2>{{Cite web|last=David |first=Peter|url=http://www.peterdavid.net/index.php/2003/11/26/whatcha-wanna-know-2/comment-page-2/#comments|title=What'Cha Wanna Know?|date=November 26, 2003|publisher=Peterdavid.net|access-date=September 10, 2009}}</ref>

In 2003, David began writing another creator-owned comic, ''[[Fallen Angel (comics)|Fallen Angel]]'', for DC Comics, which he created in order to make use of plans he had devised for Supergirl after the "Many Happy Returns" storyline, but which were derailed by that series' cancellation. That same year, he wrote a ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' series for [[Dreamwave]] that tied into the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 TV series)|animated television series]] broadcast that year.<ref name=BillMitchel/>

DC canceled ''Fallen Angel'' after 20 issues, but David restarted the title at [[IDW Publishing]] at the end of 2005. Other IDW work included a ''[[Spike: Old Times (Angel comic)|Spike: Old Times]]'' one-shot and the ''[[Spike vs Dracula (Angel comic)|Spike vs. Dracula]]'' mini-series, both based on the character from the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' and ''[[Angel (1999 TV series)|Angel]]'' television series.

In 2005, David briefly returned to ''The Incredible Hulk'', though he left after only 11 issues because of his workload.<ref>David, Peter. "Back from San Diego", peterdavid.net, July 20, 2005</ref> He started a new series, ''[[Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man]]'', beginning with a twelve-part [[fictional crossover|crossover]] storyline called "[[Spider-Man: The Other|The Other]]",<ref>Cowsill, Alan "2000s" in Gilbert (2012), p. 295: "In December [2005], a new regular Spidey series began that introduced a key story arc to the Spider-Man world. Written by Peter David and illustrated by Mike Wieringo, the book started with the first chapter of 'The Other'."</ref> which, along with [[J. Michael Straczynski]]'s run on ''[[The Amazing Spider-Man]]'', and [[Reginald Hudlin]]'s run on ''[[The Sensational Spider-Man (vol. 2)|Marvel Knights Spider-Man]],'' depicted the webslinger as he discovered he was dying, lost an eye during a traumatic fight with [[Morlun]], underwent a metamorphosis, and emerged with new abilities and insights into his powers. The storyline caused some controversy among readers for its introduction of retractable stingers in Spider-Man's arms, and the establishment of his powers being derived from his status as a "Spider-Totem".<ref>David, Peter. "What if Spider-Man were introduced today?" "But I Digress...". ''[[Comics Buyer's Guide]]'' #1615 (April 2006). Pages 206–209</ref> David's final issue of that title was #23.<ref>David, Kathleen.

David wrote a ''[[Jamie Madrox#MadroX|MadroX]]'' miniseries that year, whose success led to a relaunch of a monthly ''X-Factor'' volume 3 written by him.<ref>Manning "2000s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 330: "Writer Peter David returned to the team he popularized in the early 1990s, this time with writer Ryan Sook."</ref> This was a revamped version of the title starring both Madrox and other members of the former ''X-Factor'' title that David had written in the early 1990s, now working as investigators in a detective agency of that name. David's work on the title garnered praise from [[Ain't it Cool News]],<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.aintitcool.com/node/40843#15|title= AICN Comics Reviews ''Doctor Who''! ''GI Joe''!

On February 11, 2006, David announced at the [[WonderCon]] convention in California in that he had signed an exclusive contract with Marvel Comics. ''Fallen Angel'', ''Soulsearchers and Company'' and David's ''Spike'' miniseries were "grandfathered" into the contract, so as to not be affected by it.<ref>David, Peter.
