Spider-Man / Doctor Octopus: Year One #5

The concluding chapter of Spider-Man / Doctor Octopus: Year One arrives with a cover that crackles with raw intensity — a battered Spider-Man caught in the grip of mechanical tentacles while a wild-eyed, disheveled Otto Octavius roars below him, his arms outstretched as the arms themselves seem to surge with a life of their own. Kaare Andrews renders this clash with a painterly, almost cinematic weight, making the rivalry between these two feel genuinely earned after five issues of buildup. Written by Zeb Wells and titled "Destiny," this finale promises the collision these two were always headed toward.
