“The Paste and the Power (or A Very Sticky Situation)”

In "The Paste and the Power (or A Very Sticky Situation)," Spider-Man gains the cosmic might of Captain Universe to face the monstrous Tri-Sentinel, a twisted fusion of Shaw's Sentinels forged by Loki’s trickery. Written by David Michelinie and brought to life by Erik Larsen’s dynamic art, this 1993 adventure delivers high-stakes action and a surprising twist that leaves Spidey stripped of his newfound powers. The cover by Ron Lim and Keith Williams captures the moment’s intensity, making this a standout issue for fans of Marvel’s cosmic edge.
