MCU Phase 4: 10 Comic Book Panels That Must Be Recreated
4. Spidey In The Winter
Marvel Comics
The 615th issue of Amazing Spider-Man might not seem like much on the surface, but it did give us this delightfully winter-y Spider-Man near its end.
Written by Fred Van Lente and drawn by Javier Pulido, the story centred on Spidey fending off Sandman in the dead of winter, and it was a good read. While there are plenty of moments to speak from that issue (including a delightful scene where multiple Sand-men attack Peter out of nowhere), Pulido's drawing of Spidey swinging through the blizzard-y New York skyline is a must have shot to include in Homecoming 2.
We're yet to see a Spidey film set during the winter months, but the aesthetic appeal of seeing the web-slinger thwip his way through New York all layered up has to be enough incentive for Marvel to head there next. If they can pick up on the artistic cues of Pulido and Javier Rodriquez, then it could be one of the best looking Marvel movies yet.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
