Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #6

Few superhero covers capture an awkward social situation quite like this one — Spider-Man in full costume sits across a dinner table from a scowling, fork-in-hand J. Jonah Jameson, the walls behind them plastered with Spider-Man newspaper clippings, a beverage and condiments between them as the world's most reluctant dining companions size each other up. It's a perfectly uncomfortable image that sets the tone for a story Chip Zdarsky was clearly born to write, with cover art by Paulo Siqueira that balances deadpan comedy with surprisingly intimate detail. If you've ever wanted to see Spidey navigate a meal more dangerous than any supervillain encounter, issue #6 of Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man promises exactly that kind of delightful tension.
