We know the action scenes and spider-snarking are pretty on point for The Amazing Spider-Man, the new Marc Webb film based on the Marvel Comics superhero, but what impressed me most about the early footage ComicsAlliance previewed back in February was the chemistry between Emma Stone and Andew Garfield. There's a scene in which a distinctly Romita-esque Gwen Stacy joins Peter Parker for some authentically awkward "will-you-go-out-with-me" exchanges in the halls of their high school. It was utterly natural and extremely cute, and it's nice to see the romance angle played up in a dramatic film poster like this.

Check out the full image below, as well as some video of the scene I referenced.
