Spider-Gwen #5

The vertiginous cityscape bathed in vivid magentas and crimsons sets a striking tone for this fifth chapter of "Greater Power" — a silver-haired man in a dark suit looms large in the foreground, staring downward with cold intent at a tiny, unmistakable Spider-Gwen perched far below him on what feels like the edge of a skyscraper ledge. Robbi Rodriguez's cover composition uses the dizzying urban geometry to make the power imbalance between these two figures feel almost physical. Written by Jason Latour with art by Chris Visions and colors by Rico Renzi, this 2016 issue delivers the kind of tension-soaked visual storytelling that made this series such a compelling corner of the Marvel universe.
