Ultimate Spider-Man #3

The third chapter of Marvel's 2001 reimagining of everyone's favorite wall-crawler, "Wannabe" captures the restless energy of a hero still finding his footing. Mark Bagley's cover pencils frame Spider-Man in a dynamic low-angle crouch, clinging to the sleek glass surface of a towering building with every finger and toe gripping the structure while the city looms behind him. With Brian Michael Bendis and Bill Jemas guiding the story and Bagley's kinetic linework brought to life by Art Thibert's inks and Marie Javins's colors inside, this series was already proving itself a fresh, confident take on the Spider-Man mythology.
