Scarlet Spider #12

Looming large over a rain-soaked cast of characters, the scarlet-and-black masked Scarlet Spider dominates the cover of this 2013 Marvel series entry, his presence casting a long shadow over the tense faces below — a determined pink-haired woman, a young woman in a hoodie, a uniformed officer, and a brooding dark-haired man in the foreground. The tagline "All of the Power, None of the Responsibility" neatly captures the complicated heroism at the heart of Kaine's story, while Ryan Stegman's cover art pulls the ensemble together with cinematic, rain-soaked atmosphere. With Christopher Yost writing and Reilly Brown on interior art, "The Man in the Presidential Suite" promises a compelling chapter in one of Marvel's most morally ambiguous Spider-titles.
