Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1
"Web Log" kicks off a fresh chapter in Spider-Man’s tale with a poignant twist: a version of Ben Parker from a world where tragedy never ended finds himself in a reality where May is alive—and everyone believes he’s dead. Written by Peter David and brought to life by Mike Wieringo’s expressive art, with Karl Kesel’s inks and Paul Mounts’ colors, this issue introduces a new Hobgoblin with a personal edge, setting a tense, emotional tone that lingers long after the first page. The cover by Mike Wieringo and Karl Kesel captures the moment with striking clarity.
