I like how you draw Spidey's eye lens. Not like those huge McFarlane/Bagley bug eyes that everyone draws.

this is good ,
im curious about the comic layout and such
i know its all about expressing the story and doing so in a semi-linear format
that a person can follow the story even without text.
how are panels and the comics setup i see a few different ways to do it
do the individual art per panel first then worry about the layout (relatively)
do the panel layout first , then the art.
or maybe some sort of mixture of the 2?

I always begin with the 6 panel grid, and then I ignore it completely. Working on grid paper at one fourth print size, I look at the number of panels on the page. I then doodle out the panel descriptions in the margins. I look at the shape of the drawings (vertical to horizontal, etc.) and then arrange them in order, starting with the panel shapes and then moving on to the drawing, making sure that the composition is moving the eye across the page in a repeating Z shape that starts at the top-left and ends at the bottom-right.
This page's layout, when professionally critiqued, was described as "needlessly fussy". In particularly, that panel 2-4 should not have been offset.

needlessly fussy? looks not too different from
what on the racks , and as for the middle left
tall panel offset; obviously im not a pro but
though i would be inclined to align the panels
the offset nature make it stand out more
so you pay more attention to it.
