Avenging Spider-Man #8

Spider-Man swings into action front and center on this June 2012 cover, with Silver Sable firing her weapon at his side and Doctor Strange conjuring mystical energy above them both — a striking trio rendered with real kinetic force by cover penciler Shane Davis and inker Mark Morales. Billed as the "Ends of the Earth Epilogue," this issue teams the web-slinger with two very different allies, blending street-level firepower and sorcery in a combination that feels genuinely compelling. With Dan Slott and Ty Templeton on script and Matt Clark on interior art, it's a satisfying chapter for anyone following Spider-Man's world in 2012.
