I got my usual lot of comics...nothing great this week IMO...
One thing I liked seeing though was a promotion for upcoming "Amazing Spider-Man" comics of 2010, that kind of indicates they may be bringing the whole "Brand New Day" storyline to an end...I REALLY hope they can get this title back to what it was before all the changes.

Brand New Day has allowed for a lot of changes back to a smarter kind of old school Spiderman. Read the recent The Gauntlet issues. It's gone back to Peter having trouble juggling his attempts to build a life and his superheroing. Though a lot of people say "why would Mephisto want Peter and Mary Jane not to be married?" if you think about it, this world is a perfect Hell for Peter. Kraven's family wants revenge, many of his old villains are stronger than ever, J.Jonah Jameson is mayor and he can't find a girl to settle down with. It's a nightmarish throwback to 60s and 70s Spiderman.
