The Amazing Spider-Man #695

A web of golden tentacles pulls the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #695 in every direction, wrapping around Spider-Man and a civilian who clutches his head in apparent anguish at the center. Surrounding them is a formidable cast of faces — a cackling, ghoulish figure in a hat, the imposing bulk of the Kingpin, a shadowy cloaked figure, a red-haired woman in a Spider-suit, and a scarred, hard-edged man — all rendered with striking intensity by cover artist Steve McNiven. With Dan Slott and Christos Gage scripting "Danger Zone Part One: Warning Signs" and Giuseppe Camuncoli on interior art, this 2012 issue promises a tangle of allegiances and threats worthy of its "Hobgoblin vs. Hobgoblin" banner headline.
