The fan-favorite “Brand New Day” era was one of the most creative periods in Spidey’s history — and these are the stories that prove it!
“Brand New Day” wasn’t just a story — it was an era. Spanning almost three years and over one hundred issues, it was a time when a rotating cast of the industry’s most talented writers and artists redefined Spider-Man for the 21st century. The stories they created continue to influence the Spider-Man comics of today — as well as television series, video games and films featuring everyone’s favorite wall-crawler!
The handpicked stories featured in this Brand New edition highlight the scope and spirit of the era — from heart-wrenching to pulse-pounding to darkly introspective. Included in this collection are:
“Sometimes It Snows in April” By Zeb Wells & Chris Bachalo Amid the worst blizzard in New York City history, Spider-Man and Wolverine set out to find the secret of the deadly storm!
“The Other Spider-Man” By Bob Gale & Mike McKone Peter Parker must solve the mystery of “The Other Spider-Man” — and brave the villain-filled Bar with No Name!
“Threeway Collision!” By Bob Gale, Marc Guggenheim, Dan Slott & Paulo Siqueira When Spidey finds himself in a car chase across the city with Overdrive, which side of the story is the real one?!
“Flashbacks” By Marc Guggenheim & Barry Kitson Whatever happened to Flash Thompson? Follow Peter Parker’s former nemesis and Spider-Man’s biggest fan from New York through his tour of duty in the Middle East.
“Black & White” By Dan Slott & Chris Bachalo Witness the return of one of Spider-Man’s most unforgettable enemies: Hammerhead! It’s a sign of things to come — and it’s looking deadly!
“Family Ties” By Joe Kelly & Chris Bachao As the mayoral election ramps up, gang activity is at an all-time high — and Hammerhead works to bring them all under Mister Negative’s banner...or else. And even Spider-Man can’t stop him this time!
“Old Huntin’ Buddies” By Zeb Wells & Paolo Rivera Spidey clashes with the Punisher in a good old-fashioned punch-a-palooza! What does Frank Castle want with a mysterious, power-enhancing serum?
“Unscheduled Stop” By Mark Waid & Marcos Martin Spidey must summon all his strength and courage when a shocking earthquake hits NYC, burying him and a subway car of innocent people deep under all the rubble!
