Superior Spider-Man #5
In "Emotional Trigger," Otto Octavius—now operating as the Superior Spider-Man—takes a chilling step forward, deploying his spider-bots with facial recognition to surveil the city.

Written by Dan Slott and illustrated by Giuseppe Camuncoli, with inks by John Dell and vibrant colors by Edgar Delgado and Antonio Fabela, the issue’s cover by Camuncoli and Dell captures the tension of a hero pushed to a moral edge.
