This issue, Spider-man meets someone new again . . Screwball. It's a girl who performs petty larceny, and then as she makes spectacular and often dangerous get-aways, gets everything filmed and then instantly fed to the internet. So we don't really know if she's actually a thief, or just a thrill-seeker. However, she does mention that her skills are because she's a master of Parkour . . and that she has Parkour luck. I know it's spelled different, and sounds a little different, but I think it's a play on Peter's name . . Parker. So . . that's a new mystery that they'll have to look in to . . sooner or later. But the main part of the story this issue is the interesting development in Peter's photographic career. Because of Peter's "crazy angles", Dexter Bennett, the new editor in chief of the DB, has decided to make Peter a Paparazzi. "Photos from every height and vantage point. You're like some wacky photo-ninja. Which makes you perfect for our Paparazzi beat!" And it turns out, because of Peter's abilities, he's actually strangely adept at it. However, during the process of his latest assignment, Bobby Carr, we get a glimpse at the next villain on the map. Currently she's stalking Bobby, and she calls herself Paperdoll. And, really, that's all the infomation that we get on her this issue. Dan Slott handles the writing for this chapter, and Marcos Martin does the art. It's not one of my favorite styles, but, it does fit the current story-line pretty well. So far we haven't been let down by this Brand New Day chapter of Peter's life. We've been introduced to at least one new villain every chapter so far. And some . . are still evolving, as in Freak.
