Spider-Man 2099 #17

This striking issue of Spider-Man 2099 features a cover by Francesco Mattina that puts a deadly female warrior front and center — blindfolded, arms outstretched, and surrounded by a flurry of shurikens, with the looming red-and-white visage of Spider-Man 2099 filling the background behind her. The tagline "Fighting Crime Before His Time!" reminds readers of the unique temporal tension at the heart of this series, which Peter David continues to write with Will Sliney on art and Rachelle Rosenberg's vivid colors bringing it all to life. It's a visually arresting package that promises sharp action and sharper adversaries.
