Marvel<\/a> just made a huge announcement about its Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a> plans. With the fourth MCU Spider-Man film<\/a> coming this summer, Marvel Comics is returning to the storyline that lends the movie its name. Dan Slott, the original author of Brand New Day, the comic, returns for a new ongoing series that reprises his gamechanging tenure with the Webslinger. <\/p>\n

As revealed by AIPT<\/a>, Slott is back alongside artist Marcus To for Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is described as an ongoing series.<\/p>\n

The writer promised to \u201cto reveal hidden secrets and plant explosive seeds\u201d that will bear fruit in Spider-Man\u2019s future, but fans still have some questions about the new book.<\/p>\n

Original “Brand New Day” Writer Dan Slott Is Back To Revisit A Pivotal Era In Spider-Man History<\/p>\n

Here’s what Dan Slott had to say about taking the reins of Peter Parker’s life once more in Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day:<\/p>\n

Spider-Man is my favorite character in all of fiction. Heart on my sleeve here\u2014I love writing Spider-Man…We\u2019re going to reveal hidden secrets and plant explosive seeds that will pay off and affect what\u2019s happening in Spider-Man\u2019s world today! These will be stories that matter and that will have major consequences!\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, every Marvel fan expected the publisher to produce tie-ins with the upcoming MCU Brand New Day. What’s surprising is how Marvel is going about it: by seemingly delivering a sequel to the divisive 2008 comic.<\/p>\n

Nearly 20 years ago, Brand New Day followed One More Day, arguably the most controversial storyline<\/a> in Spider-Man history. Slott’s Brand New Day picked up with Peter Parker’s longtime marriage to Mary Jane wiped from continuity. The big question about the new Brand New Day is what it means for the Marvel power couple to revisit this era of Spider-lore.<\/p>\n

There’s One Thing That Would Make Marvel’s New “Brand New Day” Comic Universally Beloved By Fans<\/p>\n

Spectacular Spider-Man Brand New Day Could Be Fan-Service Decades In The Making<\/p>\n

Marvel fans have begged and pleaded for One More Day to be overturned ever since it was published. At various points, including current Spider-Man and Venom comics, the publisher has teased the reunion of Peter and Mary Jane<\/a>, but never followed through. It has shown no interest in restoring their original marriage to canon. <\/p>\n

If there’s one thing that would justify returning to Brand New Day-era Spidey for longtime fans, it would be to close the book on One More Day. To write an epic counterpoint to that story, one which ends with Peter and Mary Jane’s marriage restored. It would be a major move to make Spider-Man: Brand New Day truly a huge event<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marvel just made a huge announcement about its Spider-Man: Brand New Day plans.
