A great soft-reboot for the Amazing Spider-Man series. So far, through volume 1, Brand New Day is up there with the original Peter Parker run of Ultimate Spider-Man for me personally. We see a lot of the original characters and the reboot pits Peter back in some original scenarios without all the baggage that comes along with many decades of backstory.

While Peter’s friends and co-workers are familiar there are also lots of new faces and a few great new villains. I’m excited to see more of Overdrive, The Menace, and Jackpot.

I wasn’t super into the paparazzi story or the Paper Doll villain. That story arc was the only thing stopping this collection from being a perfect five stars for me.

I was pleasantly surprised to find I am enjoying the Brand New Day content. I’m still annoyed by the total destruction of over 40 years of Peter Parker and MJ material but you can tell that the comic got a much needed refresh.

Peter Parker and MJ's marriage for Spider-Man comics actually being enjoyable again. Fair trade.
