This, boys and girls, is what we call a 'hook'. But don't worry; it's like what they used to do in superhero comics where the cover shows Superman about to dropkick a baby into a volcano or something to force you to buy the comic and discover "oh, turns out all along it was a volcano-shaped sweets shop when it's the baby's birthday".

"Nope! You're not looking at someone disguised as Spidey... or imitating Spidey! Nor are you witnessing an imaginary, or a dream sequence! [...] ...this scene is really happening! But, is our favorite Web-Head actually committing a crime? Think it over, frantic one, and we'll clue you in later..!
