Spider-Man #4

Against a crimson web-strewn background, this 2016 Marvel issue puts a grimacing suited man at the center of the action, ensnared in webbing while Black Cat swings in from the upper left and a glowing, green-energy-charged figure closes in from the upper right — with Spider-Man's red-gloved hands visible at the edges, clearly in the thick of it. Sara Pichelli's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, layering three distinct threats into a single tightly composed image. Brian Michael Bendis and Pichelli make issue #4 feel like a pressure cooker about to blow.
