Amazing Spider-Man by Nick Spencer #8

Spider-Man fires a web-line while squaring off against a massive, multi-eyed creature with jagged teeth in the foreground, all while a looming reptilian monster — claws and glowing red eyes prominent — towers ominously in the background. The cover by Ryan Ottley captures the web-slinger surrounded on all sides, outnumbered and clearly in for a rough night. Nick Spencer's *Threats & Menaces* collection makes a strong case for why this run keeps Spidey in exactly the kind of desperate, against-the-odds situations that suit him best.
