After looking at hundreds of comic book covers, it becomes quickly apparent that not every cover is 100% original. Whether done intentionally or even underhandedly, there's something about uncovering these "swipes" that adds a new element of fun to reading and collecting comics.
There's more to this homage than just the cover. The storyline features a "jock" vs a "nerd" but this time, the nerd isn't Peter Parker. He's now old enough to be beyond such terms, and old enough to intervene.
