Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man #2

David Marquez's cover for this 2014 Marvel series captures a quietly gripping moment: Miles Morales sits in street clothes, holding his Spider-Man mask with a steely, determined expression, while a red-and-blue Spider-Man swings dynamically in the window behind him. The contrast between Miles out of costume and the web-slinger looming at his back speaks volumes about the weight of a double life. Bendis, Marquez, and Ponsor are clearly bringing real care to this series, and this second issue promises that tension is only deepening.
