Superhero Sunday: The Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day #1

Marvel released The Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day #1 last week. Of course, this has lots of variant covers with covers E and G being my favorite. Here is the official summary:

"BRAND NEW BRAND NEW DAY! Spider-Man discovers one of the most valuable items the Kingpin, A.K.A. Wilson Fisk, possesses — THE LEXICON. This directory of the Kingpin’s criminal enterprise could destroy the criminal landscape of New York City and that’s Spider-Man’s goal when he takes it. But Fisk isn’t the only person who wants the Lexicon… Mr. Negative would love his competitor’s secret information, but so would Frank Castle himself, the Punisher. Taking the Lexicon sure seemed like a good idea to make the city safer, but it’s painted the biggest target ever on Spider-Man’s back!"

Here are the last two of the Lego Minifigures: Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse at Amazon. The Miles Morales Prowler figure has oversized gloves and a disc that may be a shield or a manhole cover.
