The thrice-monthly adventures of your favorite friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man continue in Amazing Spider-Man #549 as the wall-crawler faces an all-new menace - the appropriately named Menace! (duh) Brand New Day continues as writer Marc Guggenheim (Wolverine) and Salvador Larroca (newuniversal) kick off an all-new story arc. And as if that wasn't enough, superstar artist David Finch provides a jaw-dropping variant cover!

In Amazing Spider-Man #549, not only will Spidey have to contend with the newest addition to his rogues gallery in Menace, but he's...being sued?! Plus, the mystery surrounding the dead bodies tagged with spider-tracers deepens! It's more of that ol' Parker luck for Webhead, but he's about to receive a helping hand from New York's newest, red-headiest super hero -Jackpot!

Brand New Day has been met with great reviews as the first issue of Spider-Man's new era, Amazing Spider-Man #546, has sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level). But don't worry as Amazing Spider-Man #546 Second Printing Variant, with a new cover featuring the spectacular interior art of Steve McNiven, is on its way!

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on all issues of Amazing Spider-Man, as the series continues to receive high profile coverage from Newsweek, Yahoo.Com, People Magazine, USA Today, The New York Daily News and more!
