I guess most long-time readers will spot that the first three panels are a tip of the hat to the 1987 Spider-Man vs. Wolverine One-Shot.
As for the "TPB" reference... just in case you didn't know, there's been a bit of a mumble of complaint in the last few years that Marvel has been asking their writers to stretch storylines out a bit so that they are the right size to fit in a reprinted Trade Paperback cardboard cover format. Marvel makes good money from their TPB reprints these days.
