Amazing Fantasy #12

The concluding chapter of "Poison Tomorrow" arrives in style with this striking James Jean cover showcasing Scorpion — dark-haired and intense — channeling glowing green energy in her hands while surrounded by grotesque, glowing-skulled adversaries closing in from every side. It's a tense, atmospheric image that captures a hero holding her ground against overwhelming odds, and the bonus eight pages of Vampire by Night make this a genuinely packed issue. Writer Jeff Parker and artist Federica Manfredi bring this Marvel Next anthology arc to a close, offering readers a satisfying double dose of Marvel's newer characters in a single 2005 package.
