“Pressure!”

In "Pressure!", Peter David and Alex Saviuk deliver a tense, character-driven chapter as Spider-Man faces a moral crossroads when he refuses to free Betty from the Students of Love—only for Flash to step in with help from de-programmers. Meanwhile, Mary Jane navigates a personal dilemma, posing for lingerie photos, adding emotional weight to an already charged situation. The issue's dynamic art by Saviuk and Romita, with coloring by Janet Jackson and lettering by Rick Parker, captures the story’s intensity and emotional stakes.
