Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #6

Paolo Rivera and Joe Rivera's cover for this 2014 Marvel issue is a rooftop-set showcase of villainous chaos, with the black-suited Superior Spider-Man at the center trading blows against a roster that includes Sandman, Mysterio, Vulture, and the Kingpin lurking ominously in the background — while a lightning-wielding figure crackles with energy in the upper right. Christopher Yost scripts, with Marco Checchetto on art and Rachelle Rosenberg on colors, promising the kind of morally complicated team dynamics that make this series such a compelling corner of 2014 Marvel. If you enjoy watching a Spider-Man who plays by his own ruthless rules navigate alliances and enemies simultaneously, this issue's cover alone makes a strong case for picking it up.
