Spider-Man: Brand New Day feels like director Destin Daniel Cretton and screenwriters Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers grabbed everything in the kitchen and blended it together, not sure of how exactly it would turn out. What they deliver is film that needs to both be a new start and a finale for Tom Holland as the Wall-Crawler, that needs to wrap-up the threads left dangling after Spider-Man: No Way Home, open up the Spidey world for several existing Marvel characters including Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal), Yelena (Florence Pugh), and Dr. Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), and introduce a key new character pivotal to Marvel’s non-Spidey plans moving forward.

New Avengers #1

/ / Comics

While not being all that sure about the current state of the Marvel Universe, although it seems that Doctor Doom has become a major player again just in time to lead into some cross-promotional movie tie-ins, we start with Black Widow recruiting the Winter Soldier to look into a former lumber camp turned experimental laboratory in the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia. And for added backup, Bucky enlisted the help of the less-hairy Wolverine and his old war buddy Namor. For a guy who says he hates teams, Bucky sure knows how to assemble deadly ones.

Black Widow: Venomous #1

I’m a little confused at the timing of this series (I know we’re getting some kind of symbiote event so maybe that’s why it was held off) but it sure seems like a series diving into Natasha‘s relationship with her symbiote would have made more sense before the Black Widow & Hawkeye mini-series that isn’t even referenced here. Anyway, what we get here is a failed mission to open the issue which leads Natasha to go to school with Sliver (who is given a name for the first time) to work out the kinks of their relationship.

Black Widow & Hawkeye #4

The four-issue mini-series limps to a conclusion without much in the way on an actual conclusion which, is admittedly, a bit odd for a final issue. We are given more of the flashbacks featuring Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Iron Man where Natasha takes one for her friend allowing Clint to look better following the assassination attempt on Damon Dran and not hurt his standing with the Avengers. In the present we catch up with Hawkeye captured by Dran and arguing with the symbiote before Natasha eventually shows up for the expected save.

Black Widow & Hawkeye #3

The third issue of the series is more interesting in its flashbacks than the present where we don’t see much advancement to the story other than Clint Barton feeling some enhanced anger since the symbiote saved his life and being haunted by its thoughts which don’t have a high opinion of the man or his current plans (on his plans, the symbiote has a point).
