If you show a picture of Marvel’s Spider-Man to someone for the first time, they’re likely to notice one thing: the suit. Insomniac has created a brand-new look for Spider-Man that’s entirely unique but immediately recognizable, its own spin on a hero we’ve been following for decades.
But while it’s true that the suit may catch your eye first, spending real time with the game reveals what’s underneath is just as important.

There are surely simpler, more straightforward ways the two could have gone about that story. But the fact that they've put so much effort and care into the series' first post-wedding storyline makes it that much more of an enjoyable read." -Jesse
