Spider-Man Unlimited #3

Tied to the Fox Kids animated series, this 2000 Marvel Animated title pits Spider-Man — clad in his sleek black-and-blue stealth suit — directly atop a massive, glowering purple creature with burning red eyes known as The Brute, debris scattering in every direction around them. The cover, penciled by Andy Kuhn and inked by Harry Candelario, captures a real sense of physical scale and urgency as Spidey rides the rampaging behemoth with a raised fist, a web trailing behind him against a sickly green backdrop. If you're following this animated-universe series, issue #3 looks like a genuinely satisfying clash between agility and raw, unstoppable power.
