“Samson Unleashed”

In "Samson Unleashed," Peter Parker confronts the lingering mystery surrounding his supposed parents, diving headfirst into a personal mystery that's been simmering since the fallout of the Maximum Carnage crossover. Written by David Michelinie and brought to life with dynamic energy by artists Mark Bagley and Randy Emberlin, this issue blends emotional stakes with the high-octane tension that defined Spider-Man's 1990s run.
