“Light the Night!, Part Three”

The "Light the Night!" arc reaches its epic conclusion here, with Spider-Man and the Vulture locked in a rooftop showdown above the nighttime city skyline — the cover by Klaus Janson depicts a massive burst of crackling energy erupting between them as debris flies through the air. Janson's dynamic linework gives the confrontation real physical weight, capturing both figures mid-motion against that striking yellow-white blast. J. M. DeMatteis wraps up this three-part story in November 1993, making this a satisfying payoff for readers who've followed the arc from the start.
