Secret Warriors was good, but I don't know if I'd say the explanation for THAT change is... good, exactly. Even an all-star strikes out occasionally.

Why would falling be somehow detrimental to spiderman? Can't he just web a building and turn a fall into a swing? Or make himself a web net? Did he somehow lose his web powers in that issue?

If he's falling from well above skyscraper level (as appears to be the case here), then by the time he's fallen far enough to actually web onto something he'll be going so fast that the sudden stop could pull his arm from its socket. Or so I've heard.

Or course that doesn't answer the question of why FalCap catching him by the ankle doesn't have a similar effect.

It's also a bit of a reference to this classic Simpsons moment when 3D Homer asks people if they've ever seen the movie Tron:

Poor guy wanted to get in to comics and he's on Unlimited so he can't get really new stuff, and that was the era right after Dark Reign when everything was a (relatively) easy jumping in point. It makes sense if you're trying to get into Avengers. It's just unfortunate that that run of Avengers is just godawful.


Anyway, Inhuman Special #1:

Not necessarily. The gimmick for this month's Squirrel Girl is SG's roomie is trapped in the Statue of Liberty with a bunch of random civilians while SG and the Avengers fight laser-dinosaurs, and Nancy (the roommate) is trying to hype her fellow trapped normals for her best pal rescuing them. Except they all have completely weird ideas of what Squirrel Girl's like, so we get a bunch of short stories about what they've heard/seen/made up.

That one is a kid's interpretation of SG as a super-intelligent heroine from the future who protects the timestream... and also commands squirrels because aliens gave her powers.

I never did buy the concept that Norman Osborn somehow becoming in charge of the upper echelons of government but I thought the premise was hilarious because he was so cartoonishly evil and the fact that everyone he interacted with basically knew he was lunatic who could kill them all.
