Spidey legend Dan Slott spins a new saga set during the “Brand New Day” era!
Spider-Man has discovered one of the most valuable items possessed by Wilson Fisk, A.K.A. the Kingpin: the Lexicon! This directory of Fisk’s underworld enterprise could destroy the criminal landscape of New York City, which is definitely Spider-Man’s goal when he takes it. But the wall-crawler isn’t the only person with sights set on the Lexicon. Mister Negative would love to get his hands on his competitor’s secret information — and so would Frank Castle, 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! This deadly episode from Spidey’s past will echo into his present — and future! COLLECTING: Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) #1-5
Dan Slott has built a loyal fan base by combining old-school fun with stories and characterizations friendly to new readers. Following his run on She-Hulk, Slott moved into the upper echelon of Marvel writers, launching Avengers: The Initiative and taking the reins on Mighty Avengers from Brian Michael Bendis. When Marvel gave Spider-Man a fresh start in 2008, Slott was one of several rotating writers on the thrice-monthly Amazing Spider-Man. Slott became the writer most closely identified with the web-slinger’s “Brand New Day” era, and the title hit the “Big Time” when he took over as full-time writer for a decade-long run. Slott has also turned his talents to other iconic Marvel heroes — including soaring the spaceways with Silver Surfer; helming Tony Stark: Iron Man toward Iron Man 2020; and masterminding the glorious return of Fantastic Four, leading to his long-awaited “Reckoning War.” In 2022, Slott made his way back to the Spider-Verse, teaming with legendary penciler Mark Bagley on Spider-Man and introducing the sidekick sensation Spider-Boy.
Marcos Martin’s clean, fluid style became an instant hit on DC’s Batgirl: Year One. He next worked on Breach and illustrated a brief Green Arrow run. At Marvel, Martin collaborated with writer Brian K. Vaughan on Doctor Strange: The Oath and became part of the rotating team of artists drawing Amazing Spider-Man. Martin played his part on the Eisner Award-winning Daredevil relaunch written by Mark Waid, and claimed both an Eisner and Harvey Award for his reunion with Vaughan on the creator-owned digital comic The Private Eye.
