Why this comic matters

ASM #536 visually represents Spider-Man’s growing isolation during the Civil War storyline — pulled in multiple directions by heroes, ideology, and responsibility. It’s a key modern issue with strong demand from collectors completing the Civil War run, and the cover is one of the most symbolic of the event.
