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.

Red Hulk #1

Obviously attempting to take advantage of the events of Captain America: Brave New World (despite a mixed critical and fan reaction) as well as laying foundation to rebuild Doctor Doom as a major villain in the Marvel Universe leading into Avengers: Doomsday next year, Red Hulk #1 is more about IP and cross-marketing than interesting storytelling.

Joe Fixit #3

Joe Fixit #3 continues to explore the time when the Hulk became a Las Vegas enforcer in a pinstripe suit. Picking up events following last month’s cliffhanger, Fixit (dosed with mind-control drugs from the Kingpin) runs wild in the casino only to stop suddenly (far more suddenly than one might have guessed) at one point be it from Spider-Man pleading with him or the inner monologue between the current Hulk persona and Dr. Bruce Banner. Either way, the rampage stops but things don’t necessarily turn out better for Banner.

Joe Fixit #2

The exploration of the Hulk‘s time living in Las Vegas as Joe Fixit continues in the second issue of the series where the Kingpin‘s second interaction with the super-powered leg breaker goes better than the first when he uses a bit of mind control to send the Hulk rampaging through the casino. Yeah, that’s probably not going to be good for business. Thankfully there’s a web-crawler in town.

Joe Fixit #1

For those that don’t remember, there was a time back in the 1980s where the Hulk was grey… and a mob enforcer for a casino in Las Vegas. Decades later, Peter David returns to this version of the Hulk, lumbering around in tailored suits on a casino floor and in back alleys of Vegas, and also throws in both Spider-Man and the Kingpin for the first issue of Joe Fixit as well.
