Ultimate Spider-Man #108

Part 3 of "Ultimate Knights" finds Spider-Man in a precarious spot, literally — the cover by Mark Bagley depicts a battered, crouching Spider-Man beneath a towering, black-and-gold armored figure gripping a bo staff, the size and posture difference making the wall-crawler look remarkably outmatched. Bagley's composition is tense and purposeful, framing the confrontation with a stark golden background that puts every detail of both figures in sharp relief. With Bendis scripting and Bagley on art alongside inker Drew Hennessy and colorist Justin Ponsor, this 2007 chapter of the arc promises the kind of kinetic, character-driven storytelling that made this run a fan favorite.
