Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #26

Spider-Man finds himself completely ensnared by a mass of mechanical tentacles on this eye-catching cover, while a smirking, silver-haired villain looms large in the background — surveilling the action through a bank of monitors. Patrick Scherberger and Roland Paris pack the image with glowing robotic eyes and churning machinery, giving the whole scene a wonderfully tense, larger-than-life energy. With a story titled "Reading, Writing and Robot," this 2007 all-ages issue promises exactly the kind of fun, high-stakes web-slinging that makes Marvel Adventures such an appealing series for readers of any age.
