Spidey has yet ANOTHER New Villain? WOW WEE! And she's the 'newest and most terrifying'? Wow, she'll be hard pressed to beat the awesomeness which is Mr 'Kingpin/Doc Ock Ripoff' Negative, Men-'Goblin Ripoff'-ace, Fr'Seriouslywhomakesthesepoorsubs'eak and Paper -You'vegottabekiddingme - Dowl!
And her name is... CLASSIFIED! Oh brill, wouldn't it totally make sense if that actually was her name? That would rock as much as the rest of those name choices for villains!
What else awaits? Is Classified a Red Head per chance? Is Mr Negative going to propose to Aunt May... ah, THATS WHY Hammerhead is coming back from the grave! And what about Gwe- sorry, Jill Sta- sorry, Carlie Cooper, she going out with Pete only to be nabbed by Menace and daggled over a bridge? Will Sena-sorry, DA Bill Hollister end up being half an alien? Or will Wise Cop Sage Alan O'Neil fall afoul of brickwork? So many Brand New stories to come!
So keep buying, true believers! Don't look back so you can see we've done all these stories before in the last reboot, look forward! And keep enjoying the most ironically named Event in Marvel to follow another ironically named Event* - BRAND NEW DAY!
*One More Day kept taking One More Day. And Brand New Day is a Brand, but there's little New about it.

Classified is an interesting name to give to a villain...thing is, why did they retcon the unmasking, yet it seems like every new villain that jumps in has a chance to find out who Spidey is....is that why they did it??? so villains finding out who Spidey is could b seen as a major threat? _________________ Kaine - "Gwen Stacy."

Wow, what a well-written, thought out response that is.
Oh, and I love how they're going to get over the wee problem that Hammerhead is DEAD. Oh wait, is he a ghost again? Problem solved![sarcasm]

Well, thanks. It wasn't hard, really.
Oh yeah, the rest:
Nobody stays dead in the MU........ N-O-B-O-D-Y!
Besides, Pete & MJ were married once also....... we all know how that worked out!! ....lol.....!!!!!!! _________________ "What to the ostentatious smuggling verbalists are the thoughts of thinkers but Loose-Fish?" Herman Melville
In all seriousness, it almost like they're panicing that we have absolutely no or little love for the new bad dudes which barely replace legends like Green Goblin and Doc Ock, and since they're all saved all for the future, have to give us the Lame C-listers like Enforcers and Hammerhead. In August: KANGAROO! SPOT! SPIDER MOBILE! KNEEL IN FEAR!
But to sum up, yes, I don't like Brand New Day, cause there's little original about it, and nigh on everything thus far seems to have been possible in a Married reality, save for some pathetic Gwen-Wannabe and MJ and Black Cat stuck in a mixed blender with a extra topping of 'I don't care who she or Menace is' hanging about. so the reasons for splitting Pete and MJ up seem rather moot to me.
