Spider-Man: The Gauntlet #3

A chilling cover by Michael Lark and Jodi Wynne sets the tone for this 2010 Marvel collection, depicting a battered, motionless Spider-Man sprawled against a stark white background, his costume torn and spattered with blood beneath the dark, looming silhouette of a winged figure. The Gauntlet storyline brings together the talents of Van Lente, Weisman, Waid, Peyer, and Kelly, with art from Rodriguez, Quinones, Boss, Azaceta, Fiumara, and Portela — a remarkable assembly of storytelling firepower. Subtitled Vulture & Morbius, this volume promises a brutal chapter in Peter Parker's ongoing struggle against two of his most dangerous adversaries.
