After J. Michael Straczynski and Joe Quesada took a big steaming dump on Spider-Man with One More Day, Dan Slott was parachuted in to clear up their mess with Brand New Day. Which he did pretty well, largely by ignoring the preceding nonsense, though some of the retconning sticks out awkwardly - Civil War still happened but somehow nobody remembers that Peter is Spidey despite his unmasking being the most memorable scene in that dismal storyline!
In Brand New Day, powerful new villain Mister Negative is using a magic tablet of glowing glyphs to kill mobsters for some mysterious reason while yet another derivative Green Goblin wannabe equally creatively called Menace is making a, um, menace of himself! A new hero called Jackpot (who looks and sounds suspiciously like MJ) has popped up and a street-level hood wearing a Spidey mask is mugging folks. Time for Peter Parker to be Spider-Man again, damn the Superhero Registration Act!
While I never (nor ever will) read Straczynski’s much-maligned Spidey run, I have read some of his appalling DC books so I believe it when I hear that his Spider-Man was absolutely shite. And, even though Slott’s story is somewhat plodding and overloaded with exposition because of the many readjustments he had to make to the Spidey-verse - Harry Osborn wasn’t dead after all, he was just on an extended holiday in Europe! - I think by far the best thing about Brand New Day for many is that it’s not JMS’s Spidey.
Not that Slott’s doing anything especially new - Spidey fights familiar villains, has familiar money issues, and has familiar romantic entanglements – but I think a lot of readers find that familiarity comforting, particularly contrasted against JMS’s crap. And Slott does write it well, making you feel like you’re reading classic Spider-Man. I also liked how Spidey has to improvise on the fly, first losing a web-shooter, then running out of web-fluid – that kind of inventive adversity makes for more interesting stories. Steve McNiven’s art is very easy on the eyes too and the villains, while not especially original, aren’t bad either, challenging him and shaking off the Webslinger’s cobwebs during his (then-recent) downtime.
Conversely, Slott’s reinstatement of most of the status quo also makes for a fairly standard and unexciting Spider-Man book. It’s not a bad read but I was never gripped either – it’s all very predictable and if you’ve read a bunch of Spider-Man before you’ve already seen scenes like these several times already. And I really hated the Civil War aftermath with all that stupid Superhero Registration Act bollocks that unfortunately runs through this one.
If you’re after a decent Spider-Man book, you could do worse than Brand New Day, Volume 1 but it’s also not a must-read for anyone except the fans.

Marvel begins its first post-Straczynski Amazing Spider-Man issue in a big way. It is essentially a reboot of the character, introducing new characters, building a new supporting cast and debuting new villains. The title of this collection is apt; it is a brand new day for Spider-Man. Now shipping three times in month, it has a writing team modeled after a similar structure used in television. Called the brain trust, it is a mix of rising stars in comic books and veterans from various genres.
Not everything is thrown away; the brain trust reinforces the new Spider-Man supporting cast by returning some familiar faces to fold, like Harry Osborn. It is great that they are reserving Spider-Man’s classic villains from his rogue’s gallery and instead are introducing new villains for him to contend.
The first writer on deck, Dan Slott, whose one shot Swing Shift heralded the new era as a free comic on Free Comic Book Day writes the first arc. He sets the tone for this new era of Spider-Man adventures, with a take that is at once old and new. It is the same wise-cracking, guilt-ridden Peter Parker of old. This new Spider-Man is hip into this decade’s pop culture and has enough balls to actually speak back to cranky boss, J. Jonah Jameson, which promptly gives the old man a heart attack. Nothing Spider-Man ever does is unimportant and this arc explores how his presence affect ordinary New Yorkers. Steve McNiven handles the art and he turns in consistently excellent work. I really like his clean and crisp lines and the detail he pours in to his character figures.
Bob Gale handles the second arc collected in this hard cover. Gale is the co-writer of the Back to the Future film trilogy and is no stranger to comic book writing having done work for both Marvel and Dc in recent years. His arc introduces a new goblin character, whose appearance is disrupting local city politics. Whether this new goblin character has ties to the Green Goblin legacy remain to be seen. Salvador Larroca handles art in a style that has grown beyond what I used to follow in Fantastic Four just before the new century turned. It is much more polished and realistic style. Marvel is not leaving anything to chance and has assigned the best available artists on this new era of Spider-Man.
This is new and exciting territory for Spider-Man. This re-launch will give the writing team their best chance to leave their mark on the character. After the fallout from One More Day, it is a Brand New Day indeed.

4.5 Golden Stars
Spider-man has been my favourite superhero since I was a kid. the one who introduced the world of Superheroes to me.
Peter Parker, nerdy & smart, goofball & empathic, always love to help people. I see some parts of myself inside the character.
Spider-man, interesting powers, cool costume. the making of his story, how he adapt to his new situation. Crawling up the walls, swinging in midair. even though I'm afraid of these small creatures, he was always fascinating to me.
& another amusing part was the three sides of the story; Spider-man vs. Supervillains popping up once in a while, vs. Jameson who induced his suspicions to people, so not all of the society seen him as a hero, but Spider-menace. & the police are also against him. (even though it's kind of maddening most of the times & I am yelling at the stupid police or triple J. for really not seeing the truth, but it was sometimes funny.)
so here I am now, another try to find a good point to start:
If you know Spider-man's backstories of how he got his powers & his almost nerdy life but with a secret identity, & want some new stories which is not in the movies, this one is rather a good place to start. (one of them)
though there are lots of stuff from Stan Lee's 1964 Spidey that were not in the movies & if you're interested (many cool ones there) you can try them too, but personally, I like the modern styles better.
this one also gave reference to some of the older related stories Issues, so you can check them out if you like (I did, but not for all.) no worries.
Peter is an adult now, out of College, looking for a job & some independence. & his Spider-man's life also accidentally encounters some problems in here. (no surprise! it's just Parker's luck!)
a mysterious superhero girl (she was funny. I liked her)
a new police case
a villain nearby, brewing a plan (really liked him!)
& after that, another new villain with unknown motives (yet!)
the Parker's fun, puns, jokes were hilarious! I'd missed it & really enjoyed them!
& I liked the thrills, especially in the middle issues.
the non-spidey parts were great too, the relationships & friendships & Peter Parker's stuff.
once again, I LOVE THE ARTS!

Synopsis: It's a brand new day for everyone's favorite wall-crawler! Spidey's secret identity is a secret again...to everyone! He and M.J. never married, and she moved away. Aunt May is still alive, and works at a soup kitchen. Harry still despises Spider-Man, but has no recollection of being the HobGoblin or his father being the Green Goblin. However, the more things change, the more they stay the same: Spider-Man still has bad guys to fight, such as Freak, a former human who is now simply monstrous, and the Paper Doll Killer, who easily flattens her victims. With a killer wearing a Spider-Man mask on the loose, the Daily Bugle being sold to J. Jonah Jameson's biggest rival, and Peter being forced to take celebrity paparazzi photos to make ends meet, the human arachnid is up to his neck in trouble!
The Good: Excellent artwork and a captivating story; despite its length, this rather thick omnibus kept me interested the whole time. It's also fun to see a different take on the characters from the movies. Appearances by fellow Marvel characters such as Wolverine and Doctor Strange were a plus.
The Bad: This was a bit harder-edged than I would have liked, as you'll see in the content concerns below.
Content Concerns:
Sex: A brief conversation about a couple being in bed together; another unmarried couple seen next to each other in bed.
Nudity: Women are occasionally seen in outfits ranging from low-cut tops to underwear.
Language: H-word, d-words, and euphemisms ("crap," "feces," "darn") appear fairly often, as do implied expletives ("&$@!").
Violence: As you'd expect, there's violence throughout; though there's no gore, it gets bloody at times.
Drugs:
Frightening/Intense Scenes: Scary villains, especially Freak; a character has a heart attack twice; emotional intensity throughout.

This follows the Spiderman events of “One More Day” which in many ways resets Spiderman to his old days. Purists will likely hate what has happened to him but I'm not so attached as I'm just getting into graphic novels.
The tales mostly deal with Spidey trying to make money so he can find an affordable apartment (thus taking shots of Spidey as Peter Parker) and then we've got the whole issue of whether his friend, Harry Osborn, has returned as the Green Goblin. Spidey also has to deal with people who are not happy that he chooses to be unmasked.
Written by Marc Guggenheim, Dan Slott, Zeb Wells and Bob Gale. Artwork by Steve McNiven, Salvador Larroca and Phil Jimenez.
There's some interesting cover artwork in back, a short and old Spidey tale but most interesting is a Spider-Man Manifesto written by Tom Brevoort which talks about all the ideas for rebooting Spidey.
ARTWORK PRESENTATION: B plus; STORY/PLOTTING: B to B plus; CHARACTERS/DIALOGUE: B; SPIDERMAN FOCUSES: B to B plus; ACTION SCENES: B; OVERALL GRADE: B; WHEN READ: end of November 2012.

This was a pretty good one, following on OMD and a new status quo, Peter is trying to get a grasp on his life, finding a job and earning to pay back his friends and he has to deal with the new Mr Negative and save the Karnelli/Maggia family from genocide by him and he has to meet with new friends Lily, Carlie and also Mr Martin Li at FEAST center? And team up with a new hero called Jackpot vs the new villain Menace (GG look like) whose targeting some congresswoman but when they do take that guy down there are unforeseen consequences. Meanwhile Dexter Benett the new owner of DB. This volume was crazy and had so many twists and turns and like gets dark in some places and introduces some cool new villains and this status quo while familiar shows a different side to Peter and the new supporting cast is fun and Peter understands that his actions have a very high cost to those around him. I like how Spidey even though he wants to do right is "seen as a menace" by everyone but that doesn't deter him from doing the right thing! Pretty fun read and great to see the artists maintain a higher quality!

Spidey ako ho mám rád. Dan Slott namiešal všetky prísady, ktoré si s obľúbeným sieťomylom zo susedstva spájate. Hlášky, humorné monológy, akcia, “Peter’s luck” a Parker večne bez peňazí. Nič objavné ani revolučné, ale dobre zvládnutné. Face it, tiger… you just hit the jackpot!

Nope.
World: it's a reboot but not really. The world is fully formed for new and old readers but also a but janky cause readers are trying to figure out what's changed and what's the same. Then we get thrown in not in a good way. The art is also fairly meh to fugly especially the characters...they have dead eyes.
Story: I'd rather this be a fallout book from the last arc when everything was wiped. I would have wanted more Peter thinking about his past life and then seeing how things have changed giving new and old readers a chance to reorient themselves. Nope. We get a choppy story with too many pieces that all end up being meh. I want to care about the Bugle but I don't. I want to care about Harry but I don't. I want to care about Jackpot but I really really don't. This is not a good start at all.
Characters: We are thrown into the world with these characters with little reorientation after the last arc and Peter is just as is. So is everyone else. The book needs to do better for these characters for a reboot and stepping on point. Plus Jackpot is just a boring character.
I'm sorry but I don't like this.
Onward to the next book!

Sim, eu sei! O gatilho que originou a fase Um Novo Dia do Amigão da Vizinhança foi a terrível ideia editorial de fazer com que o Homem-Aranha e Mary Jane fizessem um pacto com o demônio Mefisto para que esquecessem seu casamento e a identidade secreta do Homem-Aranha. Mas quem estava lendo as histórias de Joe Michael Straczinsky e depois vai ler essa nova fase, vai sentir uma profunda melhora. Ok, esqueça as mudanças polêmicas como trazer Harry Osborn dos mortos. Aqui é a Marvel e os mortos voltam dia sim, dia não. Todo o novo elenco de coadjuvantes e o novo status quo de Peter, da Tia May e até de Jameson mudam para melhor. Ah, e também tem a personagem Loteria, que todos pensavam que era a MJ, mas não era. Achei Um Novo Dia uma recomeço revigorante para o personagem com um mix de equipes criativas rotativas afiadas. Na época não consegui acompanhar toda essa fase nas revistas mensais, mas o pouco que consegui ler depois me deixou bastante empolgado. Agora que a fase está saindo na coleção Marvel Saga da Panini, vou tentar acompanhar mais de perto essas mudanças. Sei que vem coisa muito boa por aí.

The story I didn't care for, but there's just something so cool about seeing the Spider-Man action shots!
July 14, 2009
In a very abrupt turn of events, Spider-Man is suddenly much more similar in tone and story to the Sam Raimi movies. I'm not quite sure if he's younger, but he's now single and much less responsible. At least less responsible for a hero who's tagline includes the phrase "with great responsibility." The lengthy afterward/memo by editor Tom Brevoort lays out the Spidey books new DNA. It boils down to fresher villains, no mysticism a stronger supporting cast, and short story arcs that build into a year-long narrative. Even going by this guide, it isn't a complete success. The new villains aren't especially original to Spidey (one's a mobster, one's on a Goblin glider) and the supporting cast doesn't offer much help to Peter Parker. Yeah, the Daily Bugle is interesting again, but Harry Osborne's been through the ringer, and forgetting that is hard. The introduction of a new hero Jackpot is clunky. Clearly, Mary Jane isn't going to be in these stories for a while, due to the psychic disgust of One More Day, nor is she going to be a superhero. Yet the allusions are laid on thick. She turns out to be a different redhead who's either awestruck by Spidey or wants to arrest him.
While the flaws in the reboot of Spidey make the whole idea questionable and seem far too commercially calculating, at least Marvel brought on some good writers and artists to go through the motions. These stories have quick pacing for three-issue arcs and Dan Slott should be Marvel's go-to writer for any book that needs well-earned humor. He ends his story, the book's first arc, with a compelling cliffhanger that gives a new mobster villain Mr. Negative a pretty devastating advantage over Spidey.
You could avoid viewing this book alongside One More Day, its similarly-titled preceding story. That uncharacteristic mess was a aperitif to get rid of drastic continuity changes that built up in the past few years of Spidey, accelerating just before Civil War. Where it was so heavy-handed, this reboot opts to be far less weighty and much more fun. I question Marvel's morals and family life if they feel the path to fewer cares is annulling a long-term marriage. But the vastly different end result, viewed with blinders, is a good remix of old Spidey stories. While it tries to be Spider-Man 2, it sometimes veers into the empty emo-Venom sequence in Spidey 3.

Collects Amazing Spider-Man issues #546-551, Spider-Man: Swing Shift, and material from Venom Super Special #1 (This last one features Dan Slott's never-before-reprinted first Spider-Man story from 1995.)
I've heard so many bad things about the "Brand New Day" era of Spider-Man, that I had low expectations, but this was actually a really fun book. You can see how the new writing team is trying to go back to Spider-Man's roots with these first issues.
There was a fun feature at the end of this book, in which the readers were able to read a letter from Spider-Man Executive Editor, Tom Breevoort, to his writing staff. The letter was dated 9/18/2006, and it lays out the plans for a post-"One More Day" Spider-Man universe. One of the things he touches on is that going forward they will use a rotating team of writers so that they can release three issues of Amazing Spider-Man a month instead of the old plan with alternate titles (such as Spectacular, Sensational, Web of..., etc.). I believe this writing team is led by Dan Slott (the man that is still writing Spider-Man as I write this today in 2014).
These early issues of the new Spider-Man status quo featured the first appearances of Menace and Jackpot, and allowed us to get to know Carlie Cooper and Lily Hollister better (having only appeared in one brief scene in one issue prior to this collection).
I was really close to giving this collection a five-star rating, but it isn't quite there. Still, I would recommend this.

I'm one of those people who just didn't like the whole Mephisto made a bargain with Peter Parker to save the life of Aunt May at the cost of "erasing" his marriage to Peter and essentially the continuity of the last 20 years.
JMS took this flagship book into some very interesting places. Aunt May learning about Peter's secret and her character evolving around it made her much more interesting and dynamic. Now Peter is back to the being a loser who can't make enough money to afford web-fluid for his web-shooters and taking on some new villains. It doesn't work for me, and neither does all of the rationalization and explaination surrounding the reboot. The new writers really missed out on opportunities to explore new turf with the new "public" Spider-Man, and if they needed to make it a secret again, they surely could have come up with something better than a bargain with Mephisto... Aunt May would never accept this for Peter.
They should save the reboot for the Ultimate Spider-Man series.
JMS took this flagship book into some very interesting places. Aunt May learning about Peter's secret and her character evolving around it made her much more interesting and dynamic. Now Peter is back to the being a loser who can't make enough money to afford web-fluid for his web-shooters and taking on some new villains. It doesn't work for me, and neither does all of the rationalization and explaination surrounding the reboot. The new writers really missed out on opportunities to explore new turf with the new "public" Spider-Man, and if they needed to make it a secret again, they surely could have come up with something better than a bargain with Mephisto... Aunt May would never accept this for Peter.
They should save the reboot for the Ultimate Spider-Man series.

To be fair, I just don’t think I’m a fan of spider-man.

Steve McNiven and Salvador Larroca draw some extremely lush Spider-man comics. Hot damn. Poster-worthy art throughout these pages.
From the ashes of the "one more day" retcon-fest, Dan Slott and Marc Guggenheim start off a new era of Spidey with...some decent arcs. It kind of hits the ground running in a lot of ways, but the essence of what makes spider-man great is undoubtedly here.
Dan slott is obviously great with the character, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well Guggenheim writes Spider-Man. Laughed quite a bit during his issues.
Lots of fun to be had here, as long as you're not still sour about peters deal with the devil.

The only good thing about this package is the art. Steve McNiven's penciling is gorgeous.
Storywise: With so many reboots, I'm at a lost.
At least the editors were kind enough to dedicate 2 pages to explain the current status quo.
Spidey's being hunted by the law for not being a registered superhero. So, I guess the events here probably took place post-Civil War.
Oh, there's also a lot of swearing (censored of course). Kinda unusual for a Spider-Man comic :)

There are a lot of opportunities to make hilarious jokes with Spider-Man and Slott and Guggenheim actually do brilliant comedy in this one!

This is the first set of Spider-man stories following the soft reboot of One More Day. At the end of this book is a copy of the manifesto written to give some direction to the new spidey brain trust tasked with bringing the wall crawler back to where he should be. The main thrust of this manifesto is "back to basics" and in this Slott and co succeed admirably. Parker is back to the loveable, just getting by, hard luck guy he always should have been, Spidey wise cracks while dealing with the fact everyone hates him again, and meanwhile the foundation of a new rogues gallery are laid. The artwork is brilliant, clean lines and bright striking colours keeping even the action sequences smooth and understandable. This works as perfect jumping on point for new readers and the perfect evolution for the character for long term readers.

God, this is bad.
It’s been a while since I read any Brand New Day-era material and remembered liking it enough, so I figured I’d take another read through it. After struggling through this one, though, I honestly don’t know if I’m willing to go any further.
Peter is bafflingly incompetent in every single situation this story presents him with. Even if you take Marvel’s “he’s totally in his mid-20’s still!” BS as being accurate, that would still mean Peter’s been doing this for 10 years. But he’s unforgivably stupid, consistently, and repeatedly relies on an amateur hero to bail him out. And is stopped by said amateur and almost has his identity revealed. Why am I reading a story that was created over 40 years into his history and he’s acting like he started yesterday?
I hate immediately-post-JMS Spider-Man so much, man.

I have all of the comics collected here as single issues, but I haven't read them since shortly after they came out.
I have to say this was much better than I remembered!
As shitty as One More Day was in concept and execution, its follow-up in Brand New Day was highly entertaining. I still think all of these stories (well, except maybe the Jackpot bit) could have been done without the consequences of OMD, but the consolidation of the Spider-Man stories into a single title under the "brain-trust" of a group of writers at the time was pretty inspired and worked ver well.
Also, apparently back then editorial still did their jobs and seemed to care about stuff like continuity. Even if they had just messed with it to get to this point.

I'd probably give this more like 3.5 stars. It's not a bad reboot of the character, getting to start from ground zero (sort of) allows you to take the character in new directions. I did enjoy that we get a lot of the classic Spider-Man snark in this. We also get to see how Peter is dealing with the fallout after Civil War, and we all know what happened when he revealed his identity to the world. So.
I have read some of Dan Slott's later Spider-Man stuff, and I do really enjoy him as a writer. Overall, the art in this was pretty well done, too. Not the worst I've seen so far. Just another volume on my quest to read alllll the Spider-Man!

The main story here was okay, but I was hoping for more ... something, I guess. This is supposed to be one of the comics that the movie Spider-Man No Way Home is partially based on. There are a couple of "bonus" issues at the end, one of which seems to take place before the events of this story and the other is a Spider-Man symbiote story from the '70s. There's also lots of editorial notes and rules for Marvel writing Spider-Man after the events of One More Day.

I enjoyed a little less than half this volume. The Martin Li/ Mr Negative character and plot and twist is GREAT, Aunt May working at Feast is great, everything else is just so bafflingly bad. I hate 'playboy' Peter Parker. I hate that Peter screams at JJJ so hard that he has a heart attack. I cringed so hard everytime they brought up the Jackpot and MJ parallels and everytime she called him tiger. So heavy-handed.

The editorial mandate that got Spidey to this point wasn’t great, but these stories feel exciting, like old school Lee/Romita Sr-era stuff, but with worse villains. Points for really trying to dig in on what makes Spider-Man such an enduring character, but it doesn’t really stick the landing.

So what we got here is some pretty good Spider-Man. Nothing groundbreaking, but really solid. This era is a bit of a blind spot for me. I've never read the preceding JMS era, nor have I read Dan Slotts tenure. Like many One More Day had put a bad taste in my mouth and put me off the comics for quite some time. But now that I'm an actual adult with critical thinking skills and am able to move past that? Turns outs there's some pretty dang good comics here.
It's not a completely clean start. Theres still some crust left over from Civil War and One More Day you just have to accept and move on, but once you do things move at a nice clip. Peter has money issues, fights some villains, deals with his soap opera relationships, you know the deal. This is a back-to-basics Spider-Man story, recentering the original core appeal of the character.
However, it gets a little... to back-to-basics. Peter, who is a grown man at this point with a college degree and a career as a science teacher, is back to living with his aunt, working as a freelance photographer for the Daily Bugle, and, oh yeah, single. Really? More than anything, that's that part that really reveals Joe Quesadas intentions with this soft relaunch. He wants characters to be put more or less in stasis as their "most iconic selves." It just so happens that they were at their "most iconic" when Joe was reading these comics as a kid. God forbid the one Marvel character allowed to grow up actually changes, huh?
Despite all that, these comics work. Just a good old fashioned Spider-Man story, told well. It's just that, maybe, we don't need any more old-fashioned Spider-Man.

I was pretty disappointed with the art and writing in this book. With the reboot that wasn't a reboot (Peter's marriage to Mary Jane was wiped out and nobody knew his secret identity anymore) you expect some NEW things. But Spider-man is still down on his luck, living with his Aunt, can't get a job or a break and is hunted by the law. One new thing is JJJ has a heart attack and there is a new editor of the Daily Bugle who doesn't cheat Peter out of god pay for his photos.
The stories themselves are pretty blah. Other than Slott introducing an interesting new villain - Mister Negative - the stories by the other writers are pretty mundane. We get Jackpot a new hero who is very uninspired. And the Menace who also is uninspired and derivative of Green Goblin and Hobgoblin (who was also derivative of Green Goblin).
These are not horrible stories but they are unmemorable and shockingly bland after the shock of the reboot that wasn't a reboot. I appreciated when Slott took over ALL the writing - that was when we REALLY saw a new Spider-man. I loved his stories, Peter working for Horizon, Doc Ock taking over his body, Peter becoming a tech mogul because even if they didn't always work they were at least new and creative directions for the character.

Hoopla bonus borrow, this is a 2 for me, but I think I’m just judging it harshly because I’m not a Spider-Man person and the art is kind of blah. It’s not bad but not exciting either, the clarity and color might even be a bonus if I cared about the characters because I don’t like it when things are unnecessarily overly dark or heavily lined. It’s a little too like Stan Lee’s style like I might see in the newspaper comic strip (can’t they do something about Harry’s hair???). This is a 15 year old book so it could just be that styles have changed or Marvel has different styles than DC which is what I’ve read more of in the last decade. It could be that I haven’t read a Spider-Man comic book since the 1990s when my brother collected them and this feels like it could be from then. The story, what I browsed of it, was a bit of a downer, brand new day but Peter Parker’s life seems pretty crummy.
I think this is probably a good intro for some people who are maybe only looking at comics because of the movies since it seems to be a reboot and probably people who are fans of Spider-Man would enjoy it as well, but I am neither.
