News Spider-Man Gameplay Shared in New Marvel's Avengers Hands On

Not arriving before the summer
Remember when the internet was up in arms over Spider-Man appearing exclusively in Marvel's Avengers?

The New Avengers
We honestly didn't notice this at first glance when the Marvel's Avengers gameplay demo dropped, but as Reddit points out, the title's much criticised character models have been altered -- perhaps for the better.
