The Amazing Spider-Man #584

In "Character Assassination Part 1," Spider-Man finds himself hunted as a serial killer after a new spider tracer is discovered on a dead man—sparking a citywide manhunt just days before the mayoral election. With the police closing in and a desperate search led by Carlie using a tracker built from stolen tracers, Peter and Vin’s apartment becomes a ticking time bomb. The issue unfolds with relentless tension, as a wounded Spider-Man hides in the shower while Carlie uncovers damning evidence, all while Harry makes a surprising move toward Lily. Written by Marc Guggenheim and illustrated by John Romita Jr., with inks by Klaus Janson, colors by Dean White, and letters by VC's Cory Petit, the cover by John Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson captures the moment’s mounting dread.
