Newsarama interview with Bob Gale

[Mister Mets]

Newsarama has an interview with Bob Gale about his Spider-Man VS Spider-Man two-parter. (http://www.newsarama.com/comics/080611-GaleASM562.html)

One revelation: Gale had originally planned to have his three part Freak story include the events in the follow-up in #558.

For all those who missed Bob Gale's opinion on smoking in comics(before it likely gets removed in an another update):

BG: I thought a character should be smoking, and I asked permission to do it, and I got permission, and it's in there. When it's out there and everyone sees it, they're going to say, "What's the big deal about THAT?" It's much ado about nothing.

For all those who missed Bob Gale's opinion on smoking in comics(before it likely gets removed in an another update):I tend to agree with the opinion, but if it does become any sort of issue or distraction, I don't think Marvel has anyone to blame but themselves.

Smoking causes cancer caption kinda annoying.

[Matt Linton]

As a smoker, I didn't have a problem with the caption.

I found the captions amusing in this issue. Especially the ones for Basher. "...oh, wait. That was the Shocker. Nevermind."
