Marvel Comics is launching a new era for Spider-Man with a new ongoing series, simply titled Spider-Man, which is being referred to as a new "Brand New Day." This serves as a soft reboot following the conclusion of Zeb Wells' recent run on the character.

The new series aims to take Peter Parker back to basics, focusing on a more classic, street-level version of the hero. He is back in New York City, struggling with money, and his personal life is a mess. He has a new job as a freelance photographer for an online news outlet called "The Thread."

The main antagonist for the first arc will be a new villain called the Superslayer, a modern take on the classic Spider-Slayer robots. This villain will be targeting other super-powered individuals, forcing Spider-Man to protect them. Key supporting characters like Mary Jane Watson and Norman Osborn will be taking a backseat to recenter the story on Peter.

Key Takeaways:

• Creative Team: The series is written by Alex Segura and illustrated by Tony S. Daniel.
• Thematic Reboot: The "Brand New Day" title is a thematic callback to the 2008 storyline of the same name, which also reset Spider-Man's status quo after a controversial event. This new era similarly aims to provide a fresh start.
• Back-to-Basics Premise: The focus is on a classic, down-on-his-luck Peter Parker balancing his chaotic personal life with his duties as a friendly neighborhood hero.
• Release Date: The first issue, Spider-Man #1, is scheduled for release on November 13, 2024.
