The Marc Kane (Angela) really likes the edgy haircut! Okay, this is my equivalent of taking you in my pocket to San Diego Comic Con International 2012! (Mind the half dollar there next to you)! So, as I was saying in the Spider Panel post (which I pick up here and in the next): Cullen Bunn had just filled us in on Flash Thompson’s adventure in the Microverse (along with Scarlet Spider) in “Minimum Carnage” and we got to see the preview covers.

He deduces from its behavior that it's simply a child---but one he expects will treat the corner stones of our natural survival like toys. What happens when the creature decides...to play with the sun? The criminals that attempt to influence the child are thwarted by his lack of understanding, as well as the timely intervention of the Thing, Torch, and Invisible Girl.
