Amazing Spider-Man #3 (473)

In "La larga y oscura pizza del alma," Peter Parker faces a chilling new threat on his first day back as a teacher at his old school, when Ezekiel Sims reveals he knows Spider-Man’s secret identity and warns of Morlun—a predator who feeds on totémic power, of which Peter is a heir. Written by J. Michael Straczynski and illustrated by John Romita Jr. with inks by Scott Hanna, the story builds tension as Peter refuses sanctuary, only to confront Morlun directly by day’s end. The cover, by J. Scott Campbell and Tim Townsend, captures the looming dread of what’s to come.
