I love this cover. It has a beautiful composition and fantastic use of negative space, but from a commercial, sequential art perspective, it also features the main characters in an original way. Fans might not realize it, but this cover probably would have been rejected were it not for the little Spidey doll in MJ's arms. Comics creators have specific criteria to meet in various areas, just as TV writers have to write for the "beats" and "breaks."ANYhoo, this is from Marvel and it's OFFICIAL:
