Comic Picks – Week of 14/06/2017

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Complete Collection vol. 3
Various (w,a)
Marvel Comics

Liz says: Brand New Day got a lot of hate in the beginning for wiping Peter and Mary Jane’s marriage from continuity, and a lot of angry fans removed it from their standing orders, vowing never to read Amazing Spider-Man again. But time heals all wounds and anyone who decides to pick up these Complete Collections will discover that Brand New Day is actually really great.

The third volume provides answers to long-running questions such as: who is the mysterious goblin Menace? How is Harry Osborn still alive and where was he when he was supposedly living in Europe? And why doesn’t anyone remember what Spider-Man looked like when he unmasked on live television?

Also in the pages of vol 3: New York City gets a very unlikely new Mayor, and Spidey saves President Barack Obama (a Spider-man fan in real life) at his inauguration in the President’s Day Special issue!
