2099: World of Tomorrow #7

The cover by Jason Armstrong and Jaime Mendoza says it all — Spider-Man 2099 surges forward in his distinctive blue-and-red suit, ensnared in a web while a massive golden Phalank construct looms ominously behind him, and the blunt cover lines "Spider-Man Caught!" and "The Phalank Invasion Triumphant?!" set up a genuinely tense chapter in Marvel's futuristic universe. Issue #7 of 2099: World of Tomorrow arrives in March 1997 with "Blitzkrieg," written by Ben Raab and Joe Kelly with interior art by David Brewer and Jason Armstrong. If you've been following the Phalank threat across the 2099 line, this is exactly the kind of high-stakes installment you've been building toward.
