New Spider-Man editor Stephen Wacker would love for Joss to do a Spidey story.
The new editor of Spider-Man over at Marvel is asked by a fan at Newsarama about getting Joss to do a one-shot or an arc with the web slinger.
He says if he ever meets Joss,he'll ask him.I think Joss could write a kick ass Spider-Man.

Speaking of this interview, apparently Marvel has got Tobey Maguire to write Amazing Spider-man or so they want us to think, plus a guy who probably writes for TV.
I'd love to see Joss write Spider-man someday, by the way. I think he said he had pitched something but he just wants to stay away from Marvel right now. Am I just imagining this?

Yours,
A mildly disgruntled, often overlooked 'Sensational Spider-man' reader ;). Or rather soon-to-be-former 'Sensational' reader since they're killing it. Wonder if they'll keep the team on ?
(check out the annual, very decent bit of comic writing IMO)
It's probably the next most natural choice for Joss (after X-Men) of the big two's characters, reckon eventually he'll end up doing a run. But i'm also of the "Joss should do 'em all" school of thinking. He'd be interesting on 'Batman' or 'Detective ...' too.
(and hmm, can we say "'52' was pretty successful and a big ol' cash cow, why don't we try that ?" - still i'll probably buy it for a bit, see how it goes, i've had a couple of minis finish recently so the monthly bill won't go up)
ETA:
I think he said he had pitched something but he just wants to stay away from Marvel right now. Am I just imagining this?
Probably, since he currently writes 'Runaways' and 'Astonishing X-Men' for Marvel ;).

However! Joss would be a brilliant Spidey writer and I have no doubt that his Spidey would be one of the most amazing, sensational, spectacular, and friendly neighbourhood Spideys ever. This is one not-quite-rumour that I would be absolutely thrilled to see come true. :)

Not-quite-rumour? Let's make it a full rumour!
My awesome inside sources tell me: "Joss [Whedon] is on board for the first arc of Amazing's new format, with an understanding with the main two writers [Dan Slott and Fred van Lente] that he'll come back to do some more work later on."
All true, honest to to god. (That god being Loki, but still...)

It kinda makes sense for him to do comics while working on his film projects. Films take a good long while to get in motion and into the theatres for us to see. He seems able to have time for his comics work while he gets Goners going (or whatever live-action project may currently be in the pipeline). It gives us the option of checking out something Joss-created during the wait time between his films. Fully behind Joss-written comics, just wish none of them were guest stints on superhero characters from Marvel and DC.

Kris already beat me to it, but I'll still say--Them's fightin' words!

To say 'creatively limited' is probably just another way of saying "Not my preference" (which is fine, not everyone likes comics the same way not everyone likes poetry) or, as Kris says, "I haven't read the right comics so I think they're limited". When's the last time anyone said paintings or novels are creatively limited (and was taken seriously) ? It's just a medium, what's done with it is only limited by the imagination of the creators (and maybe to some extent the reader).
he isn't going to do anything more for Marvel after he ends his runs on both AXM and Runaways
Ah, hadn't heard that, cheers for the info dark_tyler ;).
