The Amazing Spider-Man #697

Spider-Man swings through a massive web against a fiery orange sky in Steve McNiven's striking cover for issue #697, while three sinister goblin faces — each trapped in web-wrapped spheres — loom around him with glowing eyes and feral grins. The smoke rising in the background and the winged creature caught in the webbing hint at the chaos promised by the story title, "Danger Zone Part Three: Battle of the Goblins." With Dan Slott and Christos Gage scripting alongside Giuseppe Camuncoli's interiors, this 2013 chapter looks like a genuinely tense showdown in one of Spider-Man's more goblin-crowded corners.
