Spider-Man: Friends and Enemies #2

Spider-Man finds himself crouched and vulnerable before a lineup of six costumed figures — including Darkhawk, Nova, and Speedball alongside their companions — as the cover tagline promises both "Friends and Enemies" and "The Lethal Threat of the Metahumans!" Ron Lim and Mark McKenna deliver a striking composition that sets an uncertain, tension-filled tone for this 1995 Marvel limited series. With writer Danny Fingeroth steering the story under the title "Targets," issue #2 looks like exactly the kind of mid-'90s team-up adventure that kept readers eagerly turning pages.
