Superior Spider-Man #2
In "Joking Hazard," the Superior Spider-Man takes a surprising detour from his usual tactics when he teams up with the elusive Cardiac, using the neurolitic scanner to help a patient in need—only to realize he’ll need the device for a far more personal mission. Written by Dan Slott and brought to life with sharp, kinetic art by Humberto Ramos and Victor Olazaba, with vibrant colors by Edgar Delgado and crisp lettering by Chris Eliopoulos, this 2013 issue blends high-stakes science with the uneasy moral calculus of identity. The cover, a striking portrait by Marcos Martín, captures the tension between hero and imposter in a single, haunting image.
