The Amazing Spider-Man #685

Part four of "Ends of the Earth" arrives with a cover by Stefano Caselli that puts Spider-Man front and center, crouched and ready, while Black Widow and Silver Sable stand behind him — both armed and radiating the kind of steely confidence that suggests this unlikely trio means serious business. The rooftop cityscape behind them sets a suitably global, high-stakes atmosphere for a story arc whose title alone — "Global Menace" — promises the world is very much on the line. Dan Slott, Humberto Ramos, Victor Olazaba, and Edgar Delgado bring their full talents to this 2012 chapter, making it a compelling entry in one of Spider-Man's most ambitious storylines.
