Next week sees the publication of Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day #1 (of 5) by Dan Slott, Marcus To, Marcos Martin, a look back at the Brand New Day storylines of Spider-Man, when the webspinners were restored, his marriage to Mary Jane Watson was erased, Harry Osborne was back from the dead, as was his Aunt May Parker, and the knowledge of his secret identity was stricken from the world. But they want everyone to know that this is not just one of those other retro books; this series is intended to take the storylines of the Lexicon to the present day and then to the future. But it starts with a very angry Kingpin, who can no longer remember that Spider-Man is Peter Parker, and is really not happy about it.

Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day #1 (of 5) by Dan Slott, Marcus To, Marcos Martin is published by Marvel Comics on Wednesday…

But Fisk isn't the only person who wants the Lexicon… Mr. Negative would love his competitor's secret information, but so would Frank Castle, A.K.A. THE PUNISHER. Taking the Lexicon sure seemed like a good idea to make the city safer, but it's painted the biggest target ever on Spider-Man's back!
