Scarlet Spider #5

A countdown clock frozen at 00:00:00 dominates the foreground while the Scarlet Spider looms large in a fiery red background — it's a cover that practically pulses with tension. Ryan Stegman's artwork frames Kaine's costumed figure with an almost ominous energy, the spider emblem on his chest cutting through the crimson atmosphere. With the series tagline "All of the Power, None of the Responsibility" setting the tone, this 2012 issue promises a story where time has very clearly just run out.
