The Pulse #5

The fifth chapter of "Thin Air" brings the tension of this Marvel series to a rooftop boil, with Spider-Man grappling ferociously against a green-skinned, purple-clad figure high above the city — a gripping image rendered by cover artist Mike Mayhew. Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley's street-level superhero drama finds its pulse quickening here, as the struggle depicted on the cover suggests the story's stakes have climbed dangerously high. It's a vivid, kinetic snapshot of a series that weaves superhero action into the world of investigative journalism.
