In "Just Blame Spider-Man," Peter Parker finds himself caught in a tense standoff between Wolverine and Charlie in a Berlin diner, where trust is as fragile as the glass on the table. With the situation spiraling after Spider-Man’s impulsive intervention, Peter must rely solely on his spider-sense to survive a brutal fight—only to realize too late that the real danger wasn’t who he thought. Written by James C. Owsley and illustrated by Mark Bright, with inks by Al Williamson and colors by Petra Scotese, this 2010 UK issue features a striking cover by Phil Jimenez.
