With One More Day officially over and forgotten, we continue on into Spider-Man’s Brand New Day. Despite the overwhelming hatred for the title a couple issues ago, people seem to be warming up to the new status quo of Spider-Man and even enjoying themselves. Would that trend carry over into this issue? Read on to find out!

I’ve really taken to Slott’s humor and writing style. I’ll be honest, I hadn’t read much by him before and was pretty much expecting his run to be about as exciting as anyone else’s but he’s really found a way to stand out from the rest by combining a Spider-Man style humor with really intelligent writing. He makes transitions during the comic to focus on all the characters and doesn’t make things overly complicated. This issue actually had a main plot with a couple side plots and still managed to seamlessly mesh them all without being confusing. Another strong outing by Dan Slott.

Like I said during my review of ASM #546, Steve McNiven’s work is fantastic. Very detailed characters with a great support on inks and colors by Vines and Hallowell. I honestly don’t think McNiven could draw a bad panel to save his life. This issue just builds off of the great start he had during ASM #546.

Amazing Spider-Man #547

8.9/10 (How’d you get that?)

Great storytelling with a beautiful presentation through the art. This issue definitely lives up to the previous one and even manages to surpass it in terms of action and overall story. Next issue wraps up the first arc of this Brand New Day and leads into the next team of writers and artists. Will Slott and McNiven manage to keep our attention until Marc Guggenheim and Salvador Larroca take over on issue #549? Let’s just say I’d be surprised if they didn’t.
