Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #17

Spider-Man finds himself outnumbered and surrounded on this cover by a who's who of classic villains — Doctor Octopus looms large at center, while the Vulture swoops in from above, Mysterio lurks in the lower left with his fishbowl helmet, the Scorpion prowls to the right, and a feral, fur-coated figure rounds out the rogues' gallery closing in on our wall-crawler. Alé Garza's cover pencils and inks pack the image with kinetic energy, giving each villain distinct menace as Spidey fights his way through the chaos. With a story titled "Six-To-One-Shot" and an all-ages rating, this 2011 issue promises the kind of fast-paced, accessible Spider-Man adventure that makes the Marvel Adventures line such a great read for fans of any age.
