The video is incredible.

They seem pretty excited.

Yesterday the comic book world lost an icon with the passing of Stan Lee. As you know, Lee was the co-creator of Spider-Man, one of the biggest superheroes of all time. For fun, I decided to take a look to see what the most valuable Spider-Man comic books are.

What did you see this weekend? Was it the dour World War II epic? The raunchy New Orleans sex comedy? Or the movie where Cara Delevingne shoves her head into a telepathic jellyfish’s butt?

It’s a question that’s been haunting my mind since, oh, about an hour ago when I started to look up the box office numbers for this past weekend.

We guess the bug-themed superheroes have to stick together, huh?

Yeah it's gonna be a while before the new Spider-Man movie (July 3, 2012!) but fans of the franchise got a sneak peek at the new superhero all dressed up. Here's a shot of newbie Spidey Andrew Garfield donning the tights.
