Absolute Carnage: Symbiote of Vengeance #1

Philip Tan's cover for this 2019 Absolute Carnage tie-in is a blazing collision of two Marvel heavyweights — Ghost Rider, his flaming skull roaring against the darkness, rides hard on his hellfire motorcycle while a massive, red-eyed symbiote looms ominously in the background. The composition pits hellfire against alien darkness in a way that feels genuinely thrilling, setting an intense tone for what Brisson, Frigeri, and Sánchez-Almara have in store. If you've been following the Absolute Carnage event and wondered how the Spirit of Vengeance fits into the symbiote chaos, this issue looks like exactly the place to find out.
