Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #54
In "Taken for a Ride," Peter Parker’s day takes a wild turn when Gwen introduces him to her father—only for the moment to be cut short by a pair of robbers. With art by Matteo Lolli and inks by Christian Vecchia, this 2009 Marvel Adventures tale sees Spider-Man stepping in, but not before accidentally revealing his secret to Captain Stacy. The fallout leads to an unexpected twist when Emma Frost arranges a date for Peter through Sophia, setting off a high-stakes car chase with a stolen ride from a fellow student. Skottie Young’s cover captures the chaos, while Paul Tobin’s script keeps the pace tight and the stakes personal.
