On this week's episode of IGN's PlayStation show, host Jonathon Dornbush, as well as panelists Brian Altano, Max Scoville, and Mark Medina, give you their spoiler-free impressions of Marvel's Spider-Man. Of course, if you haven't already, check out my Spider-Man review.

That said, if you don't want to know anything about the game, you'll want to wait until you've started playing later this week.
This Is Why Captain Marvel Punched That Old Lady
Update: The second trailer for Captain Marvel shows us even more Skrull action! Watch it below to see Captain Marvel punch what looks like an old lady... but is surely a shape-changing Skrull in disguise!
