Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #12

Miles Morales's Spider-Man is caught in a tense, close-quarters struggle on this striking cover by Jorge Molina — the web-slinger grapples desperately with a massive armored opponent, shards of glass or debris fragmenting around them in a burst of kinetic energy. The contrast between Miles's sleek black-and-red suit and the hulking, purple-and-metal figure he's wrestling makes for a visually gripping image that perfectly captures the pressure this young hero faces. With Brian Michael Bendis writing and David Marquez and Justin Ponsor bringing the interior to life, issue #12 promises the same sharp storytelling that made this 2012 series a compelling chapter in Miles's ongoing journey.
