Ah, Erik Larsen, whose art I can never quite bring myself to like as much as some of the stories it's been used in might want me to.

I've only seen this single page but I find myself liking the facial expressions and spider-butt

Spider-Butt, Spider-Butt, does whatever a Spider-Butt... does.

Spins a web, any size... Hey! That actually works.

[leoboiko]

Even your icon fits…

I want to read the dialogue but my eyes keep veering toward Spidey's ass.

Thought I was the only one.

Neat, I'm actually interested to know what happened next in this issue.

Does Spider-Man call this guy's bluff? Does the thug really have a sick mom, or was he playing for sympathy? If Spidey tries flying off a roof with those underarm webbings, can he reach for the sky?

CAN HE REACH FOR THE SKY?

[cyberghostface]

This is it for him. It's basically there to contrast how Spider-Man is willing to go easy on Black Fox because he's an old man.

[zapbiffpow]

Ah, context is everything. Thanks!

I guess I can just imagine he followed up on that afterwards.

Spidey did the same thing to lookout,at a crime scene.
then we saw is wife with a starving baby.

I realize the spider-butt is probably distracting for some, but the thing that I can't stop looking at is Spidey casually breaking a knife with a flick of his finger. How does that work? It's not that Spidey isn't strong enough, it's that to do that much damage and break it that way, it'd be more likely to knock it out of his hand than break it.

I dunno, it's just seems really odd to me.

Spidey is holding the hilt of the knife with his other hand. Plus, it's probably a thin, cheap blade. Nobody would use an expensive knife to mug someone.

Note that his other hand is holding on to the guy's knife hand, so presumably he's keeping a tight enough grip that the knife stays in place.
