That guy looks super perturbed. As a NY cabby, seems like he’d see superheroes all the time. Maybe he’s new. Big, big news in the credits this month, tho you can barely…

ASM 500
ASM 500! The original numbering restored. This happened with most anniversary issues around this time. The reboots of the late 90s served their purpose, and now a big fancy number would serve…
