Spider-Girl #80

Spider-Girl stands front and center in her red-and-blue costume, hands on hips against a sweeping American flag backdrop — it's a confident, almost defiant pose that suits a hero carrying the weight of her family's legacy. This 2005 Marvel issue, with cover art by Ron Frenz and Sal Buscema, pairs that striking visual with the tantalizing story title "Secrets Kill!" — suggesting the stakes inside run deeper than any single foe. Tom DeFalco and Pat Olliffe continue their run on Marvel's most compelling next-generation hero, making issue #80 a satisfying chapter in this long-running series.
