review 1: 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 ... morethey 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.
review 2: Brand New Day oh how you are either loved or hated. It is a return to the old as Spider-Man's public image goes through the wringer again after a series of events has the police convinced that he crossed the line. Not only does he have to deal with the police after him for murders he didn't commit he has to dodge the Registration Act as well. On top of that some one is trying to sue Spider-Man (after he saved his life) and he also has to deal with an rookie super hero whose actions result in a woman's death. less
