Spider-Man: Blue #[nn]

In "My Funny Valentine," Peter Parker and Aunt May face a difficult decision about their future together, while a desperate Adrian Toomes, weakened and imprisoned, is drawn into a dangerous bargain with Blackie Drago. Drago, seizing the chance to become the new Vulture, escapes and takes up the mantle on New Year's Eve—setting the stage for a brutal clash with Spider-Man. Written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated with striking, moody precision by Tim Sale, with colors by Steve Buccellato and lettering by Richard Starkings and Comicraft, this issue delivers a tense, character-driven story with a haunting, atmospheric edge. The cover by Tim Sale captures the story's somber tone with a chilling, intimate portrait of Peter in shadow.
