Marvel Universe Ultimate Spider-Man #18

Spider-Man leaps straight off the cover of this 2013 all-ages Marvel Universe title, both web-shooters aimed forward and a strand of webbing trailing behind him in a clean, energetic pose that practically dares you to duck. Nuno Plati's cover art gives the wall-crawler a bold, animated style that feels perfectly matched to younger readers discovering Spidey for the first time — or veteran fans who just love a great-looking rendition of the suit. At $2.99, it's an approachable entry point into the Marvel Universe imprint's kid-friendly corner of the Spider-Man world.
