Spider-Man

Spider-Man 2099 Omnibus Vol. 2 collects Peter David's modern return to Miguel O'Hara. Where Vol. 1 was the cyberpunk future, this volume strands the Spider-Man of 2099 in the present day — arriving just as Alchemax, the corporation that will corrupt his future, is being founded, and giving him a chance to change history before it happens. His plan is derailed by the multiversal war of Spider-Verse, and his eventual return home lands him in a 2099 seized by the Maestro. Drawn mainly by Will Sliney, it's a complete, self-contained era of the character now famous from Across the Spider-Verse.

The epic multiversal saga uniting every Spider-Person across reality against the Inheritors: predators who feed on the life force of spider-totems. Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Noir and hundreds of variants converge in the storyline that became the narrative basis for the acclaimed Into the Spider-Verse animated film.

Otto Octavius becomes Spider-Man again in this sequel to the Superior Spider-Man phenomenon. Dan Slott revisits his boldest Marvel creation with the benefit of hindsight: how does Doc Ock handle being a hero in a world that has changed since his first tenure? A saga expanding the consequences of the original Superior Spider-Man run while introducing new wrinkles in the Otto-Peter dynamic.

Closing of the rotating phase before the start of Dan Slott's Big Time. The writers close their individual arcs and prepare the ground for the next phase: Horizon Labs, Spider-Island and the preparation of Superior Spider-Man. The end of Marvel's most ambitious editorial experiment with the character in decades.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Omnibus Vol. 1 begins the controversial post-One More Day reset, returning Peter Parker to a single, struggling, unlucky status quo while Amazing Spider-Man shifts to rotating creative teams and rapid publication rhythm. It is messy history, but it is also the rebuild of modern Peter.

Dan Slott makes the boldest Spider-Man decision in decades: in Amazing Spider-Man #700, Otto Octavius swaps consciousness with Peter, dies in his body and takes over as Spider-Man. But Otto doesn't want to be a villain: he wants to be the best Spider-Man ever. One of the most radical premises of 21st century Marvel.

Spider-Man Brand New Day Omnibus Vol. 2 is where the rotating post-One More Day era starts to find its rhythm. Dan Slott becomes the dominant voice, John Romita Jr. brings muscular Spider-Man energy and Peter Parker's rebuilt life gains momentum through new villains and supporting-cast pressure. The volume is useful because it shows Brand New Day becoming less a reset shock and more a working Spider-Man engine, moving Peter toward Big Time and the later Slott era.
