Ultimate Spider-Man #28

In "Sidetracked," Peter Parker’s attempts to stop the Rhino are constantly interrupted by unexpected detours, testing his focus and timing. When he finally arrives at the scene, Iron Man has already handled the threat—leaving Peter to grapple with what comes next. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Mark Bagley, with inks by Art Thibert and colors by Transparency Digital, this 2002 issue captures the chaos of teenage heroism with a sharp eye for detail and pacing. The cover, by Mark Bagley, perfectly encapsulates the moment’s tension.
