Spider-Man: Blue #5

Nov 2002 · Marvel · 3.50 USD; 5.75 CAD
“If I Had You”

In "If I Had You," Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale deliver a moody, character-driven chapter of Spider-Man: Blue, where Kraven the Hunter manipulates the two Vultures into a deadly clash—only for Spider-Man to emerge victorious. Peter Parker settles into his new apartment with Harry Osborn, while tensions simmer between Gwen and Mary Jane as their rivalry for Peter’s attention begins to take shape. The story’s stark, emotionally charged visuals by Tim Sale—both in interior and on the cover—anchor a moment of quiet introspection amid the chaos.
