The Amazing Spider-Man #550

In "The Menace of... Menace!!", Spider-Man—still a wanted man after the Superhuman Registration Act—finds an unlikely ally in Jackpot, a registered hero willing to risk her standing to take down a new threat. As Spider-Man tracks a serial killer using mysterious spider tracers, J. Jonah Jameson faces personal turmoil when he learns his wife has sold the Daily Bugle to Dexter Bennett. Written by Marc Guggenheim and illustrated by Salvador Larroca, with colors by Stephane Peru and letters by VC's Cory Petit, this 2008 issue blends high-stakes action with the ongoing tension of identity and accountability. The cover by Salvador Larroca captures the moment’s urgency, perfectly framing the clash between heroism and the law.
