Avengers #24

In "Harsh Judgments," Spider-Man teams up with Sam and Toni to survive a second assault by Mysterio during a Zane Whelan music video shoot, all while the web-slinger tries to keep his identity hidden. Written by Glenn Herdling and illustrated by Gregg Schigiel, with inks by Richard Case, colors by Paul Mounts, and letters by Chris Dickey, this 2000 Avengers issue captures a tense, high-stakes moment where heroism and personal risk collide. The cover, by George Pérez, shows the trio in the thick of the action.
