The Amazing Spider-Man backwards is about a giant lizard who revives a police officer by stabbing him then removing the powers of other lizards via gas and a boy who leaves the superhero business and becomes "only friends" with his girlfriend. He also has his powers cured by a spider bite.
Saw this a couple of days ago. Brilliant, I must say. The basic mechanic is so simple, yet I'm amazed that we're just seeing it now. On a side-note, grabbing a link from Kotaku isn't the smartest thing to do.
