usually a condemned building is a building and not a vacant lot. but i guess he did say condemned, as in past tense?

Spidey trying to be stealthy while strolling down a lamppost in broad daylight is sending off powerful MST3K vibes.

"Hey, hi, Spider-Man."
"Go about your business."
[honk honk] "Hey, Spider-Man!"

Also, what the hell is casting that shadow in the first panel? "His is the only building on the block apart from the Roman aqueduct that the city didn't condemn!"

Peter could:

1) zigzag his way up to the roof where he'd be safe

2) even easier, run to the side of the building facing away from shotgun man

3) duck into a window real quick where he'd also be safe

my favorite is

4) jump from the building while aiming himself at shotgun man, hoping his buckshot-riddled corpse will land on top of him

And two nearby buildings; One in panel 4 and a different one in Panel 7. Guess Raskin had them demolished shortly after he arrived.

Nothing suspicious at all about shouting "He knows too much!" out of your third-story window to the gun-toting man on the sidewalk. Luckily they're in the middle of that New York City desert as has been mentioned so there's no one around to hear it.

It's kinda silly, but I guess Peter's plan is solid enough. Raskin only has 2 goons, not enough to watch the perimeter. He can just run to one of the other walls and escape from there even without buildings to web to. I'm ready for the solution to be something much dumber.

Hell, Spidey had super strength and webbing. He could just ambush and web up Raskin and his goons.

Twelve by Pies

Again a very likpatous story
All Peter has to do is hang on the wall/ceiling above the door and as soon as it opens, web up Raskin and his goons immediately before they even know what's happening.

Obviously he won't do that and instead will be standing in the middle of the room saying "Oh no, I have to find a place to hide in here before they open that door!"

e: poo poo Raskin and his goons are even in the building right now, he could just jump back out the window now that nobody's out anymore.
