I thought it was shadows before the initial question was asked, and now I think it's the side of the building. :tinfoil:

It's definitely the side of the building. There's a little lip around the edge, and then you can see the pumpkin bombs dangling down the side. Spiderman's foot just looks kinda weird

You can see by the cracks its a step down, and then the side of the building. Also Spider-Man's leg shadow shows it is an edge.

Yeah when you way it he's written far less Spider-man than Bendis did. Maybe that's why he stopped trying to have the longest run.

I think most of the villains finding out, or maybe not so much finding out but just unmasking him, actually felt appropriate. He was a kid with no training going against actual criminals. Powers or not it's likely a kid is going to get in over his head more often than not in that kind of situation.

This is one of the things about unmasking most heroes, but specifically Spider-Man that bothers me. Peter Parker lives in New York City, one of the most populated cities in the world. He is one person in a city of roughly 8.5 Million. I live in a city of about 100,000 - pretty drat small comparatively. If I ran around all over my city dressed in a bright costume for a week and then was caught on film taking off my mask, and that photo was the front page article in my cities newspaper, there are not 10 people who would recognize me from my photo alone. Granted, I grew up elsewhere, and I'm not some big time freelance Photographer, or married to a B-list off broadway/day-time soap actress, but the number of people who should recognize him on sight is pretty minuscule. But he's written so neurotic that some random cabbie or pizza guy might recognize his face, especially the daily newspaper strips.

Batman makes sense as he's a famous billionaire, so it would kind of like unmasking Jeff Bezos.

I don't think most people would recognise Jeff Bezos, to be honest. He's the richest man in the world and he's... some old bald guy?

It's from the early 2000's I think. It's Mark Bagley art. Dude drew 18 issues of Ultimate Spider-Man a year for the better part of a decade and his action sequences loving pop, I'll forgive a wonky hand or two.

Yeah Mark is one of the great comic book artists in terms of balancing quality and consistency. There may be better artists out there, but Bagley can pump out a new issue ever month with some pretty great art.

If you saw him and then later saw a picture of Bezos, it would click, though. Recognition can work on a non-immediate timescale.

Whereas you'd never see a picture of Peter Parker.
