Spidey #5

The cover of Spidey #5 says it all — a cackling Green Goblin has Spider-Man firmly in his grip mid-air, and the bold tagline "Is this the end of the Wall-Crawler?!" makes the stakes feel genuinely urgent. André Lima Araújo's cover art gives the confrontation a lively, kinetic energy that suits this all-ages take on a younger Peter Parker perfectly. Writer Robbie Thompson and the creative team deliver their fifth chapter here with a story titled "Dead Ends" — and if that cover is any indication, things are looking pretty grim for our friendly neighborhood hero.
