Striesand? I don't get it. I'm from Texas, maybe that's why.

cover of the year?

@Andrew It's a line from The 40 Year Old Virgin. Basically a Striesand is a wimp.

@Andrew I'm from Texas too man, its a 40-year old Virgin reference

I don't know. I don't think I'm digging the cover that much!

Doh! I've seen the 40 year old virgin about 10 times! Who says that and when? More importantly, how can anyone disparage the fantastic Marcos Martin?

@Andrew its paul rudd during the scene after they try to get carrell to sleep with the tranny, he's talking about matt damon in Bourne. oh and i love marcos i just wanted the first post to be an odd reference

This two-parter was terrifc. A classic Spidey tale with beautiful art by Martin and Rodriguez. I can't wait to see more of Marcos Martin on Spidey in future issues.

Fun issue indeed. Wonderful use of negative space by Martin.

That was a fun couple of issues. Can't wait to see what is next.

I gotta say spidey has been good these were 2 great issues in a row

I always thought Marcos was kind of a Striesand but he's really rocking the $#!* in on this cover.
;)
