“The child in me marveled at how much the trailer gets right. Morales swings like an amateur to show his greenness to web-slinging. His winter jacket, surely a North Face (I just know it is!), has the crazy fur hood collar. I knew he had to be rocking a crisp pair of constructs to complete the Harlemite look. Morales retains the costume that tastefully updates the classic look with a noir-ish black and red scheme. And most importantly, the creators fixed the hairline issue that was the most jarring feature of his character in the previous game.” — Hal H. Harris
