Avenging Spider-Man #17

Spider-Man finds himself at the center of a beautifully chaotic cover scene, surrounded by a colorful cast of alien and cosmic figures — including a towering purple alien, what appears to be a ghost-like glowing being, a figure in a Fantastic Four uniform, and several other strange creatures crowding the frame. Paolo Rivera's cover art gives the whole thing a wonderfully kinetic energy, with Spidey seemingly holding his own amid the otherworldly crowd. Christopher Yost, Paco Medina, Juan Vlasco, and David Curiel bring their talents to this 2013 Marvel team-up series, promising the kind of unexpected pairing that makes Avenging Spider-Man such a fun corner of the Marvel Universe.
