There's a reason why Spider-Man: Brand New Day is breaking world records, and it has everything to do with the hilariously relatable superhero who's leading the film.

We live in an era where we are constantly being introduced to new superheroes that are going to grace our screens, but our excitement towards them has diminished almost entirely. The MCU is not what it used to be, and we have a hard time following every new storyline in order to understand the next.

However, there is still one guy who everyone seems to still care about, deeply. Spider-Man: Brand New Day was released to theaters earlier this month, and it has already made billions at the box office, breaking records no one expected the movie would break. This leads people to wonder: what is it about this movie that makes people go to see it over and over again, and how is it different from the other Marvel attempts to bring back fans after the superhero excitement blew over?

There are plenty of reasons why Spider-Man: Brand New Day is so successful. The plot is great, the character development is well-thought-out, and the action is superb. But the reason we believe this movie is so good has less to do with the movie itself and more to do with the main character.

Everyone absolutely loves Spider-Man.

He's funny, relatable, kind, and sweet. He is loved by kids and adults alike, and he makes you feel seen even if you don't have superpowers and spend your days swinging through the streets of New York. He truly is a superhero that speaks to everyone, on an international level, and every time he has a new story to tell, we are right there, rooting for him to succeed.

Spider-Man's relatability doesn't apply to his film persona only; the guy is also hilariously relatable in the comics as well. He has one-liners that are simply too good not to share, which is what inspired this collection of amazing Spider-Man comics that everyone appreciates and loves.
