But with the first issue of Brand New Day (this week's comic book in which Spider-Man returns to single life), our letters very quickly changed to people saying: 'This is fantastic. This is the Spider-Man we remembered. Well, the pair didn't exactly get divorced. After [Peter Parker]'s beloved Aunt May was wounded in an attack, Spider-Man and Mary Jane reluctantly struck a deal with the devil-like Mephisto in which he erased everyone's memory of the couple's time together in exchange for May being restored to good health. "Considering I have been reading Spider-Man for exactly 20 years now and that seems to be the amount of time Joe Q. has decided to rip from Spider-Man continuity, can I simply return all of my Spider-Man comics for a full refund?" asked one of the more polite posting...

The big mystery in this confused, mediocre kids' adventure is what to do with everyone's favourite titian-haired girl detective, who has been looking for secrets in old clocks and finding clues in broken lockets since 1930. It's not that Nancy hasn't been tweaked before. In 1959, the classic Nancy Drew books were revised to get rid of references to rumble seats and running boards, and Nancy's cover outfits were changed from tweed suits and cloche hats to pleated skirts and a smart bob. Nancy's chums George and Bess and her housekeeper Hannah Gruen are all jettisoned in the first 10 minutes, left behind in quaint old '50s-style River Heights. Nancy's "tall, handsome" lawyer father, Carson Drew (Tate Donovan), has been transferred to Los Angeles, and she's going with him, under stric...

In a similar vein, here's Soon I Will Be Invincible (Vintage, 320 pages, $17), by California's Austin Grossman. Like the Pixar movie The Incredibles, this brilliant novel re-imagines the superhero theme, breathes fresh new life into a familiar genre. Dr. Impossible, a frustrated evil genius, languishes in prison, humiliated because he's penned up with ordinary mortal criminals. Meanwhile, on the side of good, Fatale is a rookie superhero, a cyborg whose special abilities can't protect her from her own desire to be accepted, and to be normal (whatever that is). Kathryn soon discovers the interview was merely a ruse, a way for [Daniel Pell] to orchestrate his escape from a maximum-security prison. Now he's on the loose, evidently going after former members of his criminal "family," and o...

With last week's announcement of a Pavement reunion and world tour next year, it's worth revisiting any of their classic albums -- which helped define indie-rock in the 1990s -- or pick up the deluxe Matador Records reissues of their first four albums: Slanted and Enchanted; Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain; Wowee Zowee; and Brighten the Corners to hear what the fuss is all about.
