Peter Parker: Spider-Man: Senseless Violence

A single-issue Marvel comic from 2003, Peter Parker: Spider-Man: Senseless Violence is a stark, self-contained story that strips the web-slinger down to a raw confrontation with a brutal street-level threat. Written by Paul Jenkins, with art by Mark Buckingham and Wayne Faucher, the issue is remembered for its unflinching approach to the consequences of violence in a superhero’s world. It stands as a brief but potent exploration of Spider-Man’s moral code when pushed to its limit.
