From 1996 comes this dizzying aerial encounter between spider-man and the green goblin. Leonardi draws one of my favorite spider-man interpretations. Leonardi is renowned for throwing traditional, rigid body proportions aside in favor of extreme fluidity. He captures Spider-Man's trademark flexibility with exaggerated, elongated limbs and sharp joint angles that heighten the sense of motion. He excels at dizzying, forced-perspective cityscapes. The geometric precision of the falling skyscrapers background draws directly from his architectural approach to page layout. Dan Green helps make the art sing
Green possessed a rare gift for adapting his style to match the penciler he was collaborating with. He could tighten the highly detailed, gritty linework of Marc Silvestri, ground the kinetic energy of Rick Leonardi, or complement the clean storytelling geometry of John Romita Jr., making every penciler look like the best version of themselves
