After the events of Brand New Day, Peter Parker finds himself reset once again — not as a forgotten hero, but as a fractured one. In a New York that remembers Spider-Man in pieces, Peter must rebuild his life from scattered relationships, uncertain memories, and a reputation that never fully stabilizes. But while Peter tries to live a normal life again, something deeper is growing beneath the city. A new wave of crime emerges — not organized by empires, but driven by experiments, instability, and science gone wrong. At the center of it all is The Jackal, a former scientist whose obsession with rewriting life itself turns New York into a testing ground for human reconstruction. Meanwhile, street-level chaos rises through brutal enforcers like Rhino, forcing Spider-Man into a war on two fronts: * one physical, raw, and violent * one psychological, built on identity, memory, and what it means to be real As Gwen Stacy enters Peter’s life and MJ drifts further into emotional distance, Peter begins to question whether his “new life” is truly a fresh start… or just another version of the same cycle repeating. In New Days, Spider-Man isn’t just fighting villains — he’s fighting the idea that people, including himself, can be rebuilt into something else entirely.
