Spider-Man #15

Few covers in 2017 Marvel hit quite this hard emotionally — Rio Morales kneels in tears against the looming silhouette of Miles's Spider-Man mask, clutching one of his web-shooters while a shattered framed photo lies beneath her trembling hand. The cover's blurb promises that Rio discovers "the truth" and that things will never be the same, and that sense of irreversible heartbreak radiates from every detail Patrick Brower penciled and inked here. It's a quietly devastating image that puts family and consequence front and center, a reminder that the people who love a hero carry their own kind of burden.
