New York is full of Skrulls and Spider-Man... where the heck is Spider-Man, anyway? Now, thanks to Brian Reed (MS. MARVEL) and exciting newcomer Marco Santucci, Jackpot and the rest of the cast of Brand New Day must pick up Spidey's slack and go toe-to-toe with Super-Skrulls-- including one that might just be Spidey himself!
32 PGS./Rated A
I don't want to sound like a total BND-hater. Amazing Spider-Man has improved pretty significantly since those rough early months. However, that improvement only causes lackluster efforts like this to stand out even more. Secret Invasion: Amazing Spider-Man simply offers too little, too late to this frustrated Spidey fan.

This book adds nothing to the overall Secret Invasion storyline, nor does it have a compelling plot. Save your money. Avoid this one or just wait for the trade if you must. I'm sure the real Spider-Man will show up eventually. Read Full Review
This has to be the Jackpot solo series, because Spidey is obviously not in NY. But... I mean, the comic isn't really bad, it's not a masterpiece, but readable enough and short enough to not be super boring. I just have a problem with Jackpot. She's a super boring character. I can't imagine anything about her powers, costume or personality to be catchy or interesting at least a bit. There could be anyone instead of her here and the comic could be even better, maybe. But okay, it's not like there will be any more sense, than just "hit this big evil skrull-guy". Maybe it'll be at least more entertaining in the next issues.
