The Amazing Spider-Man #507

The cover of Amazing Spider-Man #507 delivers a striking bird's-eye view looking down at Spider-Man's chest symbol, with a group of roughed-up, web-bound figures sprawled across it — one still brandishing a gun as muzzle flares light up the dark background. It's a wonderfully clever compositional choice by cover penciler John Romita Jr. and inker Scott Hanna, using Spidey's own insignia as the "floor" of the action. Part two of "The Book of Ezekiel" continues the Straczynski era's knack for grounding superhero storytelling in gritty, street-level tension.
