Spider-Man: Breakout #5

The finale of Marvel's five-issue limited series arrives with a cover that puts Spider-Man front and center, swinging hard through what looks like a chaotic prison corridor while a crush of villains — including a cloaked, monstrous figure to his left and several heavily built escapees closing in from below — threatens to engulf him. Spinning out of The New Avengers, this conclusion to Tony Bedard and Manuel Garcia's Breakout story has a cover by Garcia and Matt Banning that crackles with kinetic energy, the web-line and dramatic lighting giving the whole scene a real sense of momentum. If you've been following the series, this is exactly the kind of closing image that makes you want to tear straight into the pages.
