Description
This run has come back with a vengeance in the Zeb Wells/JRJR ASM run that’s going on right now. To me, this is the golden era of Bachalo’s Spidey work. Shed is outstanding, but Spidey in the snow never gets old. Bachalo’s always-inventive inset panels tell the story in an elliptical way, bouncing around from extreme close-ups to wall shots (bricks!) to show Spidey making his way to his upside-down perch. Now I can finally lay down my Bachalo Spidey sword… unless you have a Shed page you want to sell me. 😇🥲

Yep! This is pure gold dude. Something about that bit of negative space at the bottom makes the full figure pop off the page. You even got a foot page out of the deal....what luck! Congrats, I know this one feels good to have.

Thanks dude- agree completely on the black leaving off on the bottom of the page, and the falling snow blending into the snow below. If only it were still the Summer of Bachalo...

Matery of patterns in the use of black and white!  The webbing patterns shown in different angles manages to fool us with a panel of bricks!  Clean storytelling by Bachalo.  That aspect sometime gets away from him, but he hits on all cylinders here!

The tight web pattern on the mask made an impression on me, too - its intricacy up against the chunky snowfall was a sweet juxtaposition.

Definitely the golden era of Bachalo, especially the pages inked by Townsend!

For some reason, they're all favorite stories of mine. They just go together. Same with Spidey/Dr. Strange stories. The Samnee doodles with Spidey all bundled up in the cold are gold. Thanks for the love!

Damn dude, leave some art for the rest of us! :) Great piece my friend, and  this is Bachalo at his best.

Awesome!  Some nice panel storytelling followed by a quintessential Bachalo Spidey shot!  This arc was super fun - congrats on getting such a nice example from it!

The clever layout really draws the reader into Spidey's snowy world.
