New ways to rule!
Following the Brand New Day arc is the blockbuster, New Ways to Die! Picking up in Spidey's altered timeline, Peter's life is a mystery even to him. With his best freind Harry alive again, him and M.J. splitzville, and J. Jonah Jameson mayor, this is the start of a new topsy turby world.
Starting the issue off with the introduction of the newest addition to the Goblin family, Menace, Peter hurls some insults his way with that ol' fashioned humor of his. During this time, the Initiative is taking place, and in this time-line, Spider-man's not a registered hero. The Thunderbolts are then summoned to deal with wall crawler, something Norman Osborn accepts all to easily. After linking the facts that Peter Parker is Spider-man's professional photographer, Norman and his team of villains pay Parker a visit, in hopes of finding the Webbed one. Also in this issue was a bonus story about Eddie Brock, former Venom, and his bout with cancer, but I won't ruin that story for you, you have to read it to find out.
Overall it was a great read, gaining a 4.5 in my book. Mark Waid really knew how to followbup the Brand New Day arc with one heck of a story. The artwork by John Romita Jr is so-so, but don't let it ruin the story, the cover by John Romita Sr is astounding, really catching the eye and peeking interset. So, if ya like to read it, go pick it up, and have a nice read, and enjoy.
