Ijon goes to see The Amazing Spiderman, taking a detour down memory lane. The interesting thing is that he actually learned to know a lot of Marvel characters from the old TSR roleplaying game rather than from the comics, which I think of as the usual route – although jkids these days probably first encounter these characters through cartoons, toys and video games, like my nephew. His enthusiasm for the character’s continuity (or rather their back story, gadgets, etc) – I think this fits the roleplayer mentality well (but show my nephew a schematic of an Avengers’ Quinjet, and I bet he’ll be hooked too).
