scans_dailyAs folks may already know, Spider-Man has become the newest member of the Fantastic Four...oh, excuse me, The Future Foundation...as seen in Jonathan Hickman and Steve Epting's Fantastic Four relaunch series simply titled FF. Well, this was bound to crossover into Amazing Spider-Man currently written by Dan Slott. So, after Peter gets the call from the FF and goes to retrieve his costume (as shown in the preview for this issue) we get see that, upon Spidey's arrival at the Baxter Building, things don't go particularly well:

Now as you can probably surmise, I have a little bit of nitpick with this scene.
1. For the first two points, I direct you folks to this exchange between Spidey and Susan Richards from FF#1:
So, since we clearly see that Sue already told Spidey the reason for why they were wearing different costumes other than the traditional Fantastic Four ones, why then would Spidey go ahead and have a variation of the Fantastic Four costume made for him knowing full well why the surviving members of the Fantastic Four decided they weren't wearing them anymore after Johnny's death?
2. While it makes for a nice in-joke about how Spidey's FF costume makes him look like Anti-Venom, we clearly see that the new FF costumes are made of "third-generation unstable molecules" that allows the wearer to alter the color variations. So why doesn't Spidey simply do that if he's got a problem with how the costume looks?
3. Why would Spidey even leave his new FF suit at the Baxter Building anyway, considering how the beginning of this issue reminds us that he has his own storage locker at Horizon Labs where he keeps all of his costumes that only he can access? I guess we're supposed to conclude that he forgot it. But wait a minute, even if someone hadn't read FF #1, shouldn't this also inform them that Spidey already knows the FF have new costumes?
4. And finally, as shown in the previous scene where his date with Carlie gets interrupted in the very beginning of this issue, Peter narrates about how the Fantastic Four have renamed themselves the Future Foundation. So then why is he even complaining about being "baited and switched" for being on the Future Foundation instead of the Fantastic Four if he already knows the Fantastic Four are now calling themselves the Future Foundation as well as the fact they're sporting wearing new uniforms?
I know, I know, I'm sounding like an anal-retentive fanboy here, but I just felt like I had to get this off my chest. Especially since what appears to be deliberate cherry-picking of continuity--barely a month old, mind you--is being done just so this issue can have a prolonged three to four page gag, which in turns also makes Spidey out to be an insensitive, immature, whiny moron.
Then again, this is NuSpidey post-OMD/BND we're talking about, isn't it?
