Since the end of Secret Wars, there’s been a gap in the Marvel Universe. A void no other team can fill. And it’s time for the world to move on. But can it?

Spider-Man #2 by Brian Michael Bendis @brianmichaelbendis and Sara Pichelli

A comiXologist Recommends (THWIP! CRACK! ETCETERA!)

Spider-Man (2016) #1

New this week, from the relatively unknown creative team of Brian Michael Bendis (Ultimate Spider-Man (2000-2009), Alias (2001-2003), Takio), Sara Pichelli (Ultimate Comics Spider-Man (2009-2012) and Guardians of The Galaxy (2013-2015)), and Justin Ponsor (Ultimate Spider-Man (2000-2009 and Ultimate Comics Spider-Man (2009-2012), SPIDER-MAN #1 swings into stores today. Following the events of Secret Wars (2015) (If you haven’t read it, YOU SHOULD!) This book follows (former Ultimate) Spider-man, Miles Morales. He is now on in the Marvel Universe, and this is where the fun begins.

Without giving much away, the story brings us into Miles’ [new] world, and the creative team really brings the world to life. Bends’ dialogue returns to it’s glory of being quick and witty.  His well-written banter hits at all the right notes. For anyone new to Miles Morales, Bendis clearly lays out our heroes’ strengths, weakness, and abilities, so it’s really easy to pick up even if you haven’t read the previous comics. This issue #1 is like most issues #1s, it’s the tip of the iceberg, and the end of the book will leave you begging to know what happens next.

The art of Sara Pichelli and the colors of Justin Ponsor, are AMAZING all on their own. If you don’t have a favorite artist yet, look no further than Sara’s work. Her action, her poses, her narrative ability, they are all FANTASTIC. Sara’s work really has the ability to keep up with Bendis’ pacing, and doesn’t disappoint. Sara’s work is even further realized by the colors of Justin Ponsor. His work really compliments Sara’s work. (It’s like they have done this before ;] ) To me, his color is what completes this package. I think without Justin, the whole book could have a totally different vibe. With these three creators hitting on all cylinders in the first issue, who knows what is going to come out way month-to-month, but it can only be good.

I highly recommend this book for all types of fans, from new to old, radioactive to super, and everything in between. This creative team has the ability to take this story any where so get on this series now!

Chris Zenyuch supervises book releases and file quality at comiXology. He was once bitten by a spider, but it turns out it wasn’t radioactive (bummer.) He enjoys long walks between dimensions and once accidentally found the Negative Zone. A highlight for Chris is when he got to meet Spider-Man, or well at least it was a guy who played him movie.

The best day of the week is back again! It’s #NewComicDay! Here’s some of the books we’re looking forward to reading most this week:

Saga #18 - The end of the arc! Our heroes’ stay on Quietus comes to and end! Oh man, what is going to happen!?!
Guardians of the Galaxy #11.NOW - Jumping on point!! THE TRIAL OF JEAN GREY - When an alien race discovers that the original Jean Grey is back on Earth, they decide to hold her accountable for the acts of the Dark Phoenix, and it’s up to the Guardians to help the X-Men save her.

Inhumanity #2 - Written by Matt Fraction! Medusa’s kingdom is destroyed, her king is dead and her people’s population just increased exponentially. Everything is different–how can she possibly deal with it all?
Lost At Sea 10-Year Anniversary Edition - Raleigh doesn’t have a soul. A cat stole it - or at least that’s what she tells people - or at least that’s what she would tell people if she told people anything. But that would mean talking to people, and the mere thought of social interaction is terrifying. How did such a shy teenage girl end up in a car with three of her hooligan classmates on a cross-country road trip? Being forced to interact with kids her own age is a new and alarming proposition for Raleigh, but maybe it’s just what she needs - or maybe it can help her find what she needs - or maybe it can help her to realize that what she needs has been with her all along.
Li'l Sonja - Li'l Sonja is a warrior girl who travels the lands testing her mettle against monsters big and small, a younger pluckier version of the famous She-Devil With a Sword. When Li'l Sonja encounters a town plagued by eccentric bandits, she needs to figure out the pattern behind the thefts and bring the baddies to justice. No task is too tough for our crimson-haired hero. And if that isn’t enough, each Li'l book comes with a two-page activity sheet! 
Superior Spider-Man #26 - Goblin Nation Prelude! The Green Goblin vs. The Original Hobgoblin! Plus: That thing that happened at the end of #25… That thing that raised all of those questions… You don’t have to wait any longer. You’ll get your answers THIS ISSUE! Honest.
