Free Comic Book Day: Spidey's favorite part about being an Avenger

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

What's nice about being an Avenger?

Ask Spidey!



Peter is fighting a Mandrill-controlled Spider-Woman while Madam Web and Shang-Chi look on.

Apparently Peter has lost his Spidey-Sense and his fighting style has suffered. But he manages to defeat Mandrill and now time for the clean-up.





Ha.

Shang-Chi offers to train Spidey. Montage time. In preparation for the whole "Island of Spiders" thing.

After teaching him some skillz, He begins to help Spidey develop a martial arts form based around his powers. "The Way of the Spider".

I'm assuming it's like, "Punch, punch, kick, web, kick, banter! banter!"

Fighting Style for Spidey

[nefrekeptah]

Funny you should mention that...

In the manga Battle Angel Alita (which I highly recommend, by the way) there's was character who uses van der waals forces to adhere to surfaces. Her entire fighting style (which was based on Ba Gua, by the way) revolved around sticking a part of her self to her opponent and then manipulating their movements, getting them into position to hit their vitals or just throwing them.

I remember thinking that if Spider-Man knew kung-fu, this is how he would fight.

Anybody know what I'm talking about? If not, I can try posting scans from the issue in question.
