Amazing Spider-Man: Extra! #1

Styled like a tabloid extra fresh off the press, this 2008 Marvel one-shot bursts with Spider-Man front and center — mask up close, one hand reaching forward through a tangle of webbing — with the cover by Greg Land and Jay Leisten giving the wall-crawler a punchy, larger-than-life presence against a stark black background. The issue packs three separate stories into a single volume, promising "Hammerhead Returns" by Joe Kelly and Chris Bachalo, "The Trial of Spider-Man" by Marc Guggenheim and Marcos Martin, and "Harry Osborn's Birthday!" by Zeb Wells and Patrick Olliffe. It's a satisfying anthology format that gives fans a generous helping of Spidey adventure in one place.
