The thrice-monthly adventures of your favorite friendly neighborhood 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!

Now that AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ships thrice monthly, it's three times the amazing, three times the action and three times your favorite super hero!

The artwork in 549 is excellent. I would've liked to have seen a picture of Menace (or, at the very least, a "teaser" shot), but I guess they wanted to have some reason for us to buy it. Spidey...
