Ultimate Spider-Man #103

Part 7 of the Clone Saga arrives in this 2007 installment, and Mark Bagley's cover makes abundantly clear why this arc has such momentum — five spider-figures crowd the frame in an unsettling convergence. The classic red-and-blue Spider-Man crouches at center, flanked by two black symbiote-style figures looming above and a red inverse-spider-suited woman, while a grotesquely disfigured face and a yellow-armored figure press in from below. With Brian Michael Bendis driving the story and Bagley handling both pencils and inks, this chapter of Ultimate Spider-Man promises a tangle of identities and threats that's genuinely hard to look away from.
