Rosewater starts off by providing a list of partial details for cards in the set, most notably the reveal of two new types of counters: “ingenuity” and “film.” Also of note, there will be a character in the set from the Ultimate universe other than Miles Morales, and a famous Spider-Man meme is made into a card.
