“Brand New Day” wasn’t just a story — it was an era. Spanning almost three years and over one hundred issues, it was a time when a rotating cast of the industry’s most talented writers and artists redefined Spider-Man for the 21st century. The stories they created continue to influence the Spider-Man comics of today — as well as television series, video games and films featuring everyone’s favorite wall-crawler!
The handpicked stories featured in this Brand New edition highlight the scope and spirit of the era — from heart-wrenching to pulse-pounding to deeply human.

Trish Forstner is an Eisner and Ringo Award-nominated cartoonist from Baltimore, Maryland. She brings a lifetime of experience creating fun, lovable, and believable characters. She’s been drawing since she could hold a pencil. Trish loves classic animation and has drawn influence from many sources, particularly classic 80s and 90s toons. Her style has been compared to Don Bluth, Walt Disney, and Warner Bros., but she likes to think she’s found a way to separate herself from those comparisons while still drawing inspiration from them. Her love of expression and emotion is on full display in any work she creates. You’ve most recently seen her work in Image Comics’ ongoing scary “cat-pocalypse” series Feral and in the Eisner Award-nominated Stray Dogs. She is also an amazing cover artist for Dynamite’s Disney comics, from Darkwing Duck to Zootopia! From her beginnings as an artist for My Little Pony all the way to award nominated co-creator of Stray Dogs and Feral and everything in-between, Trish is sure to draw something you’ll love!

Allen Milgrom was born March 6, 1950 in Detroit, Michigan. Al graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in art and design in 1972 and moved to New York.

He also did stints as an editor at Marvel and DC.

It’s been 20 years since Marvel Comics pit their most legendary super heroes against each other and asked the question “Whose Side Are You On?” in Civil War! This May, Marvel honors the milestone anniversary of the groundbreaking event with Civil War: Unmasked, a recently announced limited series by Christos Gage and Edgar Salazar revealing all-new stories set during the Civil War era, and new Civil War Celebration Variant Covers.
Drawn by today’s top artists, the new cover collection spotlights epic matchups between both sides of the conflict that tore the super hero community apart! The showdowns depicted include memorable battles from the event like Captain America vs. Spider-Man and Hercules vs. the infamous clone of Thor as well as never-before-seen throwdowns like Storm vs. Ms. Marvel and Cyclops vs. Wonder Man. The Civil War Celebration Variant Covers will grace some of Marvel’s hottest titles and be showcased using the now-iconic Civil War trade dress.
The original Civil War redefined event storytelling and unleashed shockwaves across the Marvel Universe that are still felt today. Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s modern masterpiece went on to become one of Marvel’s best-selling collections and the inspiration behind sequels, films, video games, and more. Celebrate its legacy and revisit its impact by picking up Civil War: Unmasked and all ten Civil War Celebration Variant Covers at your local comic shop this May!

INTO THE HULKSCAPE
As the Infernal Hulk’s Age of Monsters rages across the globe, the INCREDIBLE Hulk is effectively dead, his consciousness locked away in the brutal depths of the Hulkscape. But Hulk discovers he’s not alone… his previous alters are locked in with him, as well as the countless victims and vessels of ELDEST. Could one of the Hulks possess the key to taking back their stolen body? And could they have a way to communicate with their long-lost companion CHARLIE?
No supervillain has impacted the Marvel mythos more than Doctor DOom! Now, in the wake of his global takeover in One World Under Doom, top Marvel artists will pay tribute to his epic publication history this March in new Doom Homage Variant Covers.
Across twenty one covers, see new takes on classic Doom covers from the original Secret Wars to unforgettable showdowns with the Fantastic Four, the Avengers and the X-Men to more recent standouts. Each cover captures Victor von Doom’s incredible aura by putting bold and modern twists on the original artwork and reimagining various heroes inside his iconic armor. The classic cover being homaged will be presented on the back cover.
Doom’s reign may be over, but his legacy looms large over the Marvel Universe. The new Dungeons of Doom limited series, launched earlier this month, exposes the maniacal genius’ darkest secrets as forces race to control the power and technology he left behind. His fall is also key to the latest arc of Chip Zdarsky’s Captain America run which finds Doom’s kingdom of Latveria on the brink of civil war, and Cap, accompanied by the all-new S.H.I.E.L.D., deployed on a mission to maintain peace.
