Hey, looked at the pic first. I think Spidey actually looks good. I was a bit worried from initial photos, but this looks really close to drawings from the comics. I still wished Marvel Studios had control of Spidey…. Let’s hope Sony does this right.
I agree, the costume is very Ultimate Spider-Man. I’ll wait until I see the film before I pass final judgement.
