Spider-Man: Brand New Day #2

When the Daily Bugle brands Spider-Man a serial killer, panic spreads through the city—just as a desperate addict named Freak stumbles upon a dangerous experimental formula, mistaking it for meth, and begins to change in ways no one could predict.

In "Freak-Out!", Spider-Man faces a terrifying new threat as the Freak's mutations grow more unstable, culminating in a violent attack during a mayoral campaign event. Meanwhile, Dexter Bennett's increasingly reckless antics at the Daily Bugle continue to stir chaos behind the scenes.

In "Burned!", Spider-Man intervenes to save mayoral candidate Randall Crowne from the dangerous Freak, only to find himself drawn into a deeper web of political tension and personal reckoning. When he visits Jonah Jameson in the hospital, the newsman’s fragile recovery is shaken by the news of the Daily Bugle’s sale—leaving Spider-Man to wonder what comes next.

In "Sometimes It Snows in April," Peter Parker finds himself caught between a freak blizzard and a cryptic warning from Dr. Strange, who foresees a threat arriving at 4:00 p.m. With time on his hands, Peter heads to work and is handed a mundane photo assignment covering the storm’s aftermath—until the clock strikes four and a sudden ambush by Mayan warriors sends Spidey and Wolvie into action. The moment they intervene, the city’s quiet is shattered, and a new kind of danger takes shape.
