AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!
This is it, Arachnophiles!!!! Prepare for what promises to be the most pulse-pounding piece of four color fiction to be delivered unto the Mighty Marvel Minions in decades! You asked for more Spidey! You demanded it! And, by Buckley, you're gonna get it! After the devastatingly heartwarming events of ONE MORE DAY, Peter Parker puts the past behind him and sets forth on a BRAND NEW DAY! Starting with Amazing Spider-Man #546, you now have THREE times the action! THREE times the villains! THREE times the danger! Amazing Spider-Man – Now 3 times every month! Bank on it, buck-o! And if that weren't enough: ASM #546 goes double-sized to bring you back-up features that introduce you to the new players in the lives of Peter and his family!
"So, do you remember ‘One More Day’? If you do, you are unfortunately not Marvel’s target demographic on this book. The ideal reader for the start of ‘Brand New Day’ is someone who either hasn’t read a Spider-book in 30 years, or is a longtime fan who’s willing to just go into a story cold, with no ‘but in Amazing #504, Peter and MJ had a double date with Tony Stark and Lockjaw and how could that story happen if Peter and MJ aren’t married and Tony doesn’t know Peter is Spider-Man’-style questions, as regards the conclusion of ‘One More Day’. If you are either of the above, prepare to read an entertaining, but disappointingly by-the-numbers Spidey story that’s awesome/redundant in it’s adherence to classic/tired Spider-Man storytelling. If, however, you just can’t seem to avoid crimethink and are still refusing to believe Marvel’s claim that ‘Spider-Man is not married, Spider-Man has never been married’, well… Marvel still makes Amazing Spider-Girl. Try that out."
