I know a lot of hardcore spidey fans hate this issue…and hey…I can understand…if somebody started screwing around with Flash’s or Blue Beetle’s continuity…I’d be pissed too BUT…the fact remains…this issue is not BAD….Battle for Bludhaven…Loebs’ recent arc on Wolverine…most issues of Aquaman….THESE are examples of bad writing. Slott writes Pete well and I like McNiven’s art style. For a person who has only dipped their feet casually into the world of Spidey…I think it’s a decent jumping on point. All this being said, I understand the people who hate this issue….I am just not necessarily one of them.

That being said, I'm glad that you enjoyed the first Brand New Day issue and wanted it displayed as your pick, and it stinks they took it down. I will say, if they had brought Ben Reilly back as the Scarlet Spider as another odd side-effect of One More Day, I would dig Brand New Day a lot more. I liked the Scarlet Spider costume (certainly more than the Spider-Man costume Reilly came up with for himself, though it works pretty well for Spider-Girl. Weird.)

Unfortunately, like the Clone Saga, OMD has left a bad enough taste in my mouth to stay away from Amazing for a good while. Anyway, I am cynical enough to believe this new direction will soon be messed up by that whole Skrull cross-over thingie anyway. So, nothing against the new creative teams but I'm more interested in seeing what Terry Moore does with Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane (if that ever comes out...)
