The role of the Red Hood will be played today by Spider-man

IGN.com has the article teasing the next big event in Peter Parker's life, as the events that lead to #700 draw near. And par the course, we get some changes to Peter's MO.

UPDATE Now with the top half of the new costume.






Looks more like Red Hood biker costume with spider trimmings.

I hope it's not something dragged out for a long time.



Yup, elements of Night Thrasher, Red Hood, original Scarlet Spider... no Nightwing.

It looks quite similar to the costume from "No One Dies," only in different colors.



My guess is Caselli started with that design and streamlined/recolored it. Which is fine by me, because my problems with that costume are the thematically nonsensical colors and the business.

Also, not to solicit mottos, but it's not just me and kingrockwell that that "armoring up" montage is kinda ... sensual, right? Because we were chatting about that yesterday. It's the top middle panel, I think, and the way Caselli renders lips.

Okay, now that we see the new costume ... the colors and overall lines are better than Martin's take, but I'm not a big fan of the bulkiness. Granted, there's story context we're missing, but thematically it just seems off. I like the look of the costume; it just doesn't fit. But we'll see, I guess!
