Spider-Man goes to Cuba...err, no, Puerto Rico?

Marvel Comics just released "Amazing Spider-Man" 1.2, according to Bleeding Cool, and while the web slinger's trip to Cuba sounds interesting, it seems the publishing company made one huge mistake.

The Cuban flag behind Spider-Man in the first panel seems to be a Puerto Rican flag, only with a different color scheme.

The trip to Cuba makes sense since the Caribbean island nation brought in more than 3.5 million tourists in 2015 including A-list stars like Anthony Bourdain, Francis Ford Coppola and Usher, according to Remezcla.

While Marvel proved that it isn't made up of radical left wing commie-loving liberal artists by taking Spider-Man to Cuba, in a private plane nonetheless, the comic's beginning ends up totally wrong.

The mistake is quite unlucky, even sad, since it's clear that Marvel did its best to show the difficult truth that Cubans are still facing despite the renewed U.S.-Cuba relationship. Atrocities like human rights violations, beatings, repression, freedom of speech, dictatorship and inaccessible healthcare are reportedly featured in the new comic.

Spider-Man is taught by university lecturers of all the aforementioned issues that aren't usually transparent because of recent news of the tourism in Cuba.

Jose Molina is the writer of the newly released comic. Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, he has penned episodes for various hit sci-fi/fantasy TV shows like "Dark Angel," "The Vampire Diaries," "Agent Carter," "Terra Nova," "Grimm," "Firefly," and "Castle."

He has also won the "Outstanding Script for a Television Drama or Comedy" at the American Latino Media Arts Awards in 2006 for his work in the episode "Alien" of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."

His repertoire is impressive, so it's quite perplexing how the Cuban flag mistake happened in the first panel of "The Amazing Spider-Man" 1.2.

Commenters on Remezcla tried to explain the conundrum.

A Tommy Gonzalez said "You write first, then you draw. That's how it happens. It's the editor who is in charge of those details."

Another by the name Darysabel Pérez Martínez explained that "The writing, the pencils and the coloring are all done by different people..." Therefore, the mistake is entirely possible.

Meanwhile, Héctor Caolo Alvarez said "Cuba and Puerto Rico have the same culture..." anyway.

Here's to hoping that they'll change it eventually.

The "Amazing Spider-Man" 1.2 came out following the release of "Amazing Spider-Man" #6 last week.
