This game just keeps sounding better and better.
Not only is Stan Lee a playable character in Activision and Beenox's upcoming movie tie-in The Amazing Spider-Man, but the game's in-game collectibles have now been announced. You won't be picking up glowing spiders or random knick-knacks here and there in open-world Manhattan. You'll be collecting actual Spider-Man comic books that will be available to view and read in-game.
From the Marvel Interactive blog:
So, here’s how it works: As you web-sling (or Web Rush!) your way through the city, you’ll encounter hundreds of comic pages like the one beginning this blog entry – not so many so that they’re everywhere you look, but definitely enough so that they’re very common. Usually, these pages are on building tops, but often you’ll actually see them flying around midair. Unless you’re exceedingly talented with your standard web-swing (like, incredibly talented), you’ll probably find yourself Web Rushing to catch these, then performing a timing-based button press to snag it. It’s crazy how addicting this gets.
As you might have figured out from the selection screen above (we've intentionally blurred a few out for now), the issues unlock depending upon how many pages you collect: Five for AMAZING FANTASY #15, 15 for the first appearance of the Lizard, etc.

Also, tune into GameTrailers TV on Spike tomorrow night for the world premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man's "Web Rush" trailer, something I've been looking forward to for a long time.
The Amazing Spider-Man swings into stores on June 26, a week before the movie hits screens everywhere.
