It’s legit cool that you can tell the Spider-Man on the left is the fake one if you pay close attention. Taller, more muscular. It kind of reads like ASM vs. USM,…

USM 031
Well, this sure woulda been a good cover for last issue. Seems strange timing. Bendis doesn’t seem too into each issue having a title sometimes. “Black Van.” Very evocative. This issue, we…
USM 030
