The fact that the second issue of this new status quo for Spider-Man was just as fantastic as the first really sums up my attitude to the series as a whole. Brand New Day was a great experiment, and now it’s led us to this, the return of the Hobgoblin, one of my personal favourite villains, not just from Spider-Man but in Marvel’s entire catalogue of rogues. And Dan Slott manages to pull a twist into the mix I didn’t see coming, which only serves to increase the tension and excitement generated by this latest arc. The stuff with Peter Parker’s personal life and his new job is great, too; as is the Spidey/Black Cat team-up at the start of the issue. Humberto Ramos’ style isn’t for everybody, but for me he’s always been a fantastic artist, particularly when it comes to Spider-Man, and this is no exception; it looks gorgeous and feels fast and energetic. This is the most fun I’ve had with a Spider-Man book since the mid-way days of Brand New Day. And I loved 99 percent of Brand New Day.
