“They don’t get a ton of super-heroics or super-villainy down there, as far as we know. . . . As every comic book reading Houstonian on the Internet has pointed out, Houston doesn’t have as many skyscrapers as New York, so webslinging around is going to be a different experience. Kaine is going to deal with it in an amazing, unheard of way on occasion: by issue two, he’ll actually drive a car. He might have to hop on a bus, stick to the side of a truck—the possibilities are limitless. . . . It’s also really humid there. Sweating will be an issue. Grackles are a problem. Houston will offer some challenges, but it’s not like Godzilla lives there.” — Scarlet Spider writer Chris Yost, on setting the new comic featuring Spider-Man Peter Parker’s clone, Kaine, in Houston.

Well, he’s on top of the juvenile criminal court. That, my friends, is one of the scariest, if not the scariest building in town. One of the better designed and funded, but truly disturbing.
Mosquitos are also a problem.
But Houston does have High Occupancy Vehicle lanes!
I hope he chases all of the Cowboys fans back to Dallas.
