For me, the most interesting thing about this preview is the confirmation that Captain America clearly knows that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. As Cap was "dead" during the events of "One More Day" and the time that Spidey unmasked to his fellow New Avengers, whether or not he had re-revealed his identity to Steve remained up in the air (especially as he wasn't included in the list of character's who knew at the beginning of "Big Time"). After all, it makes perfect sense that the events of Civil War would mean that he wouldn't unmask again to Iron Man (something I vaguely recall Matt Fraction dealing with in an early issue of Invincible Iron Man) but very little sense that Steve wouldn't know due to the close relationship they formed during that period. Well, in case you too were wondering, the following preview makes it clear that he does indeed know!
