The Amazing Spider-Man #3

Black Cat tears through the cover itself in a fury, her white-furred costume shredding as she lunges toward the reader with bared teeth and a fierce, cold glare — while Spider-Man swings in the background, weblines trailing across a city skyline. It's a visually arresting composition from cover artist Humberto Ramos that sets a charged, confrontational tone for this 2014 All-New Marvel NOW! chapter by Dan Slott and the full creative team of Ramos, Victor Olazaba, and Edgar Delgado. If you're looking for a series firing on all cylinders, this issue's cover alone makes a compelling case.
