Summary: A fresh beginning
Comment: This Brand Nwe Day arc is just great, the art is excellent (Steve Mcniven and Phil Jimenez definetly rocks), the story introduce a lot of new and inrteresting villians and heroes, the new spiderman status quo is relly interesting, if you love spiderman this book is a must have, and if you think that you are a little bit lost in all spiderman's old storys then this book is the perfect start.

Summary: Brand new chance
Comment: At first I was pissed at One More Day. Spidey made a deal with the devil to save his aunt over his marriage. That's the dumbest thing of all. I mean come on is Aunt May immortal? You know it would just be like the writers to kill her a year or so from now from old age just to give Peter misery.

But I didn't want to bring a bad taste in everybody mouth by bring up that which should never be mentioned again. No! Brand New Day is marvel's brand new chance and they are doing some wonderful things with the character. I am impressed to the say the least.

BND takes us back to good old spidey adventures where the character wasn't whipped! To bad Spidey can't take lessons from the Flash, he actually manages being married pretty well to a non-superpowered person.

There is one story I can't wait for ... Since Harry is alive again thanks to that ... damn deal! Norman Osborn & Harry Osborn "Nuff said"

Summary: Swinging back into Spider-Man's world? This is a good place to start.
Comment: The Spider-Man in these stories has a secret identity, his classic spider powers, webshooters, a big supporting cast, and, unlike Superman, he doesn't always get things right.

This is the Spider-Man that I remember: the one who cracks jokes while he's fighting bad guys, the one who has to watch out for the cops, and the one who's always getting on J. Jonah Jameson's nerves.

In the recent past, Spider-Man's supporting cast dwindled down to just his Aunt May and Mary Jane. Everybody knew he was Peter Parker. His powers came from a magic totem. He could shoot organic spikes from his wrists. And sometimes he had a suit of armor with three mechanical arms.

With this volume, we get a clean slate and Spider-Man is back to his regular iconic self. Some people might not like HOW the slate got cleaned. But the HOW and WHY aren't really a part of these stories. These stories are about Spider-Man starting a new chapter while returning to the roots of his character.

The art by Steve McNiven is up there with his work on Civil War and MK4. The other art in this collection, by Phil Jimenez, Salvador Larroca, and Mark Bagley, is extremely good too.

If you like Spider-Man for Spider-Man's sake (and don't miss the wrist spikes), you should give this collection a try.

Summary: A new golden age of Spider-Man comics has begun
Comment: After years of darkness and misery, Amazing Spider-Man has finally returned to form in "Brand New Day". Everything that made Spider-Man popular in the first place is here: humor, a fantastic supporting cast, mystery, new villains, and spectacular artwork by the finest talent in the industry. Forget the confusing history of the past; you don't have to read a single other Spider-Man comic to enjoy this. This book was tailor-made for new readers. Of course, such a bold new direction doesn't sit well with a lot of "long time" fans. That can't embrace change like normal people, but that's fine. Enjoy this book for what it is. Enjoy it for bring a damn good read.

Summary: BRAND NEW DAY IS JUST PLAIN AWFUL!
Comment: Brand New Day is a great example of the worst that comics have to offer long time readers. This TPB presents that first storyline in a retcon that has removed 20+ years of Amazing Spider-Man history.

The title is Brand New Day...but there's really nothing NEW about it. The reading is painful and reeks of "forced nostalgia". There's probably more character growth in an issue of ARCHIE than in this entire collection.

While the artwork is passable to decent, if you're looking for a fun read...avoid this at all costs.

Instead of reading this lousy TPB, pick up some of Marvel's ESSENTIAL AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. These classic reprints of 60's-70's-80's stories show a character with morals and who understands that "with great power comes great responsibility"...plus the stories were done right the first time and we didn't need a Brand New Day to recycle them.


Editorial Reviews:

This is it, Arachnophiles! The most pulse-pounding piece of four color fiction to be delivered unto the Mighty Marvel Minions in decades! You asked for more Spidey! You demanded it! And, by Buckley, you're gonna get it! Same Old Power. Same Old Responsibility. Brand New Day! After the devastatingly heartwarming events of One More Day, Peter Parker puts the past behind him and sets forth on a Brand New Day! Spidey's new status quo gets a swift punch in the gut as Dan Slott (She-Hulk; Avengers: The Initiative) and super-star artist Steve McNiven (Civil War) hit the ground running with new villains, new friends, and some familiar faces that promise to make Peter's life messier than ever before. This is where it's all happening! Collects Amazing Spider-Man #546-551; Marvel Spotlight: Spider-Man - Brand New Day and Free Comic Book Day Spider-Man.
