Spider-Girl #61

Spider-Girl #61 kicks off the six-part "Marked for Death!" arc, and the cover by Howard Porter sets an immediately tense tone — Spider-Girl in her red-and-black suit is caught mid-swing, tangled in barbed wire while a looming dark figure grips her from above against a fiery orange sky. The tagline "The Series They Could Not Kill!" feels especially fitting here, as DeFalco, Frenz, and Buscema deliver a story that clearly raises the stakes for May Parker in a big way. If you've been following this series, issue #61 looks like the kind of chapter you won't want to skip.
