So... yeah... everyone's evil. Except... none of them triggered my spider-sense until they actually attacked. It's usually simple for me to tell who the bad guys are. They wear costumes. They shout my name and talk about how they're going to destroy me. Easy peasy. But now the demons just look like ordinary people. Well, for Vegas, anyway. I've been fighting the bad guys for years. How can I not be able to tell who they are by now?
