Marvel Comics

Ben Reilly takes on the Spider-Man mantle once more, this time with corporate backing from Beyond Corporation who own the trademark to the Spider-Man name. A run exploring identity and commodification: what does it mean to be Spider-Man when a company owns the rights and a clone wears the mask?

Dark Web turns Spider-Man and the X-Men into one shared nightmare of clones, demons, old grudges and bad history coming alive. Ben Reilly, Madelyne Pryor and the Goblin Queen energy drag Peter Parker and mutantkind into a crossover that feels messy by design: personal resentment dressed up as supernatural chaos. This omnibus is for readers who enjoy modern Marvel events when the emotional damage is as loud as the monsters.

The biggest gang war New York has ever seen erupts in a crossover connecting every Spider-Man title of the moment. When the Kingpin falls, every criminal faction in the city fights to fill the vacuum: and Spider-Man finds himself at the epicentre of a conflict that involves heroes, villains, and ordinary citizens caught in the crossfire.

Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr. launch a new Amazing Spider-Man era with Peter Parker carrying a mysterious secret that has shattered his relationships with Mary Jane, the Avengers, and everyone he loves. The run deliberately withholds the reveal to build maximum tension: a storytelling choice that divided readers but kept discussion alive for months.

Collects the entire Tangled Web anthology (2001-2003), the series that handed Spider-Man to some of comics' strongest voices and let them look away from the hero. Garth Ennis and John McCrea's Rhino two-parter, Greg Rucka and Eduardo Risso's noir, and Peter Milligan and Duncan Fegredo's tales sit alongside work by Brian Azzarello, Darwyn Cooke and Paul Pope, all in one hardcover.

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.

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.
