Superhero Sunday: The Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day #1

Marvel released The Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day #1 last week. Of course, this has lots of variant covers with covers E and G being my favorite. Here is the official summary:

"BRAND NEW BRAND NEW DAY! Spider-Man discovers one of the most valuable items the Kingpin, A.K.A. Wilson Fisk, possesses — THE LEXICON. This directory of the Kingpin’s criminal enterprise could destroy the criminal landscape of New York City and that’s Spider-Man’s goal when he takes it. But Fisk isn’t the only person who wants the Lexicon… Mr. Negative would love his competitor’s secret information, but so would Frank Castle himself, the Punisher. Taking the Lexicon sure seemed like a good idea to make the city safer, but it’s painted the biggest target ever on Spider-Man’s back!"

Toy Tuesday: Lego MIles Morales Prowler and Werewolf Spider-Man Minifigures

Here are the last two of the Lego Minifigures: Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse at Amazon. The Miles Morales Prowler figure has oversized gloves and a disc that may be a shield or a manhole cover.

The Werewolf Spider-Man figure is by far my favorite one. He does not come with any accessories, but he has a wicked tail.

Toy Tuesday: Lego Minifigures: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

I bought six blind boxes of Lego Minifigures: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse at Amazon and they finally arrived last week. There are twelve figures based on the 2023 animated movie, Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse. I ended up with half of the set that I will be showing over the next few weeks.

The set features Miles Morales Spider-Man, Spider-Man Punk, Prowler, Spider Gwen, Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Man India with Spider-Cat, Cyborg Spider-Woman, Sun-Spider, Spider-Byte, Spider-Man and May "Mayday" Parker, Web-Slinger with Spider-Horse and Werewolf Spider-Man. Several of the figures features alternative heads and accessories.

The back of the checklist has general instructions on how to put the Lego minifigures together. The pieces are very small and I dropped a few pieces putting some of them together.

After rescuing the Cloak of Levitation and the Eye of Agamotto from the ashes of Doom’s fall, the SCARLET WITCH has chosen to claim a new title: SORCERER SUPREME OF EARTH! Wanda is willing to defy tradition, break every rule and chart a bold new path-one that the Vishanti aren’t exactly happy about.
