“Homeward Bound”

The cover of this 2000 Marvel issue pulls you in immediately — Spider-Man's masked face is wrenched back in what looks like sheer agony, his costume filling the frame as a purple-sleeved arm locks him in a brutal chokehold, with a hint of green scales lurking at the upper corner suggesting a third threat waiting in the wings. It's a tight, visceral composition by John Byrne that conveys just how cornered the wall-crawler can be when the odds stack up against him. With Mackie and Romita Sr. also on the creative team, "Homeward Bound" looks like a tense chapter in Spider-Man's ongoing struggle to hold it all together.
