Spider-Man: Funeral for an Octopus #2

The cover by Ron Lim and Al Milgrom puts Spider-Man in a precarious spot — wrapped and suspended upside-down in Doctor Octopus's mechanical arms while a full rogues' gallery closes in: the Hobgoblin swoops from the upper right, Electro crackles at the bottom center, Mysterio lurks to the lower right, and a hooded, feral figure menaces from the left. The cover blurb "Enter — the Octo-Spider!" promises something unexpected in store for Part Two of this 1995 limited series. If you enjoy seeing Marvel's web-slinger outnumbered and outgunned by some of his most dangerous foes, this issue makes a compelling case for itself before you've even opened the cover.
