In "Electrical Problems," Spider-Man teams up with the Fantastic Four to battle a giant mummy, but lingering doubts from the Daily Bugle’s sensational headlines make the team wary. When a botched rescue at a bank leaves Invisible Girl temporarily incapacitated—mistakenly punched by Spider-Man in the dark—the Fantastic Four leap to the wrong conclusion, turning on their ally before the real threat, Electro, is exposed. Written by Paul Tobin and illustrated by Pierre Alary, this 2007 issue captures a tense, character-driven moment where trust is tested, and the cover by Pierre Alary perfectly frames the chaos.
