I don't know. I'm kind of digging it. The middle panel has a kind of "return to basics" vibe that's oddly appealing.

The idea of this "villain" (What did he do? A "heist" of some kind? I wasn't paying attention) putting on that suit and then getting into the back seat of that green 1967 Buick sedan (while making the gray-haired dude with the van dyke drive), and then pumping his fists in excitement over the concept of striking Spider-Man with the car is almost like listening to an old Mississippi Delta blues song.

I'm just impressed that you recognize that the car is a 1967 Buick sedan.

I'm wondering if the Sandman bit was just supposed to be the Archie Comics equivalent of a "Gag Bag" between stories?

I made that up. It's just a Marvel car.

I'm so bad when it comes to car knowwledge that I would believe anything you told me.

Heh heh, "Marvel car".

That reminds me of "Marv arc." Since the Marv story in Sin City was the first ever Sin City story, it was just called Sin City. So to differentiate that story from the others in the movie, 50 and I started calling it the Marv arc, which is fun to say a bunch of times. And sounds like aardvark.

I'm hoping Sandman shows up and foils the heisters.

"Marv Arc" is officially called "The Hard Goodbye."
