===''The DB''=== <!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:TheDB.jpg|thumb|upright|The ''DB'' building, from<br>''[[The Amazing Spider-Man]]'' No. 555 (2008)<br>Art by [[Chris Bachalo]].]] --> After Jameson suffered a near-fatal heart attack, his wife sold the ''Bugle'' to rival newspaper man [[Dexter Bennett]], who changed the name to '''The DB!''' (either standing for Dexter Bennett or ''Daily Bugle''), and transformed it into a [[scandal sheet]].<ref name="Burned!"/> Since after ''Brand New Day'' no one knows the secret identity of Spider-Man anymore, the animosity between Jameson and Parker is [[Retroactive continuity|retconned]] as a simple financial question, with Jameson's heart attack coming right after a monetary request from Peter. The reputation of the ''DB!'' since the mention in ''Runaways'' (vol. 2) has plummeted downward because of the new, scandalistic angle Bennett gives it. Several reporters unwilling, or refusing the new course, like Peter himself, are forced to go away, finding a new safe haven in the ''[[#Front Line|Front Line]]'', the only magazine willing to accept people that were fired by Bennett, pursuing a ''scorched earth'' policy over them. The villain [[Electro (Marvel Comics)|Electro]] targeted Dexter Bennett because of a government bailout plan for the financially strapped paper. Spider-Man intervened, and during a battle inside the ''DB!'' offices, the entire building was demolished, bringing an end to the newspaper as well.<ref name="Power to the People Part 3">''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #614</ref>
