Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Chris Bachelo artist
“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.”

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #42
🕷️Paris Alleyne artist
“Miles Morales’ iconic 42nd issue! As the number of the spider that bit him and the winning lottery number for Brooklyn Visions Academy, the number 42 means a lot in Miles Morales’ world, and Saladin Ahmed celebrates this landmark issue with an oversized spectacular alongside amazing Miles Morales: Spider-Man artists! Miles Morales has been through it lately — time for a little R&R now, right? Not when there’s good that needs doing, and when something dark and insidious rears its ugly head on the streets of NYC, Spider-Man is the only hope to end it. But Miles will need help, from his friends, his family and the most unexpected allies, if he dares to even stand a chance this time!”
