Spider-Man: Redemption #4

The concluding chapter of this 1996 Marvel limited series arrives with a cover by Mike Zeck and Bob McLeod that's hard to ignore — a roaring, muscular figure engulfed in flames lifts two struggling figures, a young man and a woman, off the ground against a blazing orange inferno. The tagline "Burning Bright" says it all: the stakes feel visceral and urgent heading into this finale. With J. M. DeMatteis writing and Mike Zeck on interior art, Spider-Man: Redemption #4 wraps up a story that clearly wasn't afraid to push its characters through the fire — literally.
