Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. #5

Spider-Man crouches in the foreground against a Shanghai skyline, while three S.H.I.E.L.D. agents dangle upside-down above him — webbed and apparently at his mercy — in this eye-catching cover by Mike Norton. The bold tagline "Snared by the Amazing Spider-Man?!" sets up a delightful tension between Earth's Mightiest spy agency and one of Marvel's most beloved wall-crawlers. Writer Marc Guggenheim and artist Germán Peralta bring the fifth chapter of "The Coulson Protocols" to an exotic international setting, promising plenty of intrigue halfway through this 2016 series.
