The Amazing Spider-Man #674

Spider-Man lunges dynamically through what appears to be a torn opening in a shadowy, jagged silhouette, with brick walls and scattered signage visible behind him — a kinetic image that immediately signals someone or something is very much in his way. The cover art by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Klaus Janson gives the wall-crawler a gritty, street-level energy that feels right at home in a story subtitled "Trust Issues." Dan Slott kicks off this 2012 arc with a creative team clearly firing on all cylinders.
