Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #47

Spider-Man finds himself caught between two threats at once on this lively cover by Sanford Greene and Nathan Massengill — a snarling, winged purple monster looming from above while a green-costumed villain closes in from the side, all rendered with kinetic energy that suits the all-ages spirit of the series perfectly. Part of Marvel's 2009 celebration of 70 years of Marvel Comics, this issue of Marvel Adventures Spider-Man brings Todd DeZago's writing together with Greene's expressive linework for a story titled "Everything You Read." It's a fun, accessible package that reminds readers why Spider-Man remains one of Marvel's most entertaining heroes to follow.
