But I’m having second thoughts.

PANEL 4: MJ leans out of her apartment window, giving a reassuring smile.

Just go for it Tiger.

Peter. Just go for it.

PANEL 5: Spidey wards off his own tentacles with webbing.

The steed of Odin declares you shall be in your element, arachnid one, and should therfore be as fearless as she!!!

SPIDEY:

Well yeah but I’ve never done anything like this before. Maybe I’d just need to see some friendly faces...

PAGE 7

PANEL 1: A wall clock. It’s a little after five.

SPIDEY:

What’s black and blue and red all over?
