Amazing Spider-man #549 - Marvel


This is the beginning of the second chapter of the Brand New Day story-line.
Like I said, it's kind of being presented in little 3 issue mini-series, or chapters if you will. Marc Guggenheim is the thread that holds them all together, but each chapter, it looks like, will be done by a different artist. Salvador Larroca is the artist on this one, and it appears that Phil Jiminez will be taking on the next one. It's a neat idea, and I hope that it works for them, but . . . we'll see. Since Marc is the writer for the whole series, it all ties together very well. And the flow is kind-of what you would expect from a regular title. What I do like though, is since the main stories are only 3 issues long, the pace is pretty quick. There's not a whole lot of room for filler stuff. Which is good. It makes the individual books more exciting. Coming out of the last story-line, Jonah has had a heart-attack, and his wife sold their controlling shares of the Bugle to Dexter Bennett. So essentially, he now owns it. Also the Spider-mugger who was so close to finding out Peter's identity, was killed. So now he has to worry about someone else having access to that information. And he still has to worry about Harry being back in town, along with Lily and Carlie. And people have starting having sightings of some kind of "grey-goblin" type thing around town. This chapter it appears that Peter's going to be dealing with some new heroine around town, Jackpot, and the repercussions of the Registration Act. Or I guess you could say, his . . in-act-ion. I really like the book. And as much as I dig Salvador . . that guy is everywhere right now. I just hope they can keep the pace going.
