Ben Reilly: Spider-Man #3

Part three of "The Humanity Agenda" finds Ben Reilly in serious trouble — the cover by Steve Skroce shows the scarlet spider thoroughly ensnared by a tangle of massive mechanical tentacles, his suit torn and his posture strained under their crushing grip. Lunging toward him with gleeful menace is a pink-haired woman in a green-and-gold costume, her own mechanical appendages coiling behind her as she zeroes in for the kill. J. M. DeMatteis and artist David Baldeón bring the kind of kinetic, rooftop-level chaos that makes this five-part miniseries a treat for fans of Ben Reilly's particular corner of the Marvel Universe.
