Amazing Spider-Man by Nick Spencer #6

Ryan Ottley's cover for this 2019 Marvel trade says everything you need to know about the tone: a battered, tattered Spider-Man is pinned beneath an overwhelming, snarling Carnage whose red symbiote tendrils explode outward in every direction, with barbed wire coiling ominously in the foreground. The sheer scale difference between the two figures — Carnage looming massive and feral, Spidey looking genuinely desperate — makes for one of the more viscerally unsettling cover compositions in Nick Spencer's run. Collecting the "Arrivals/Departures" arc with interior art by Francesco Manna, this volume delivers Spider-Man's corner of the Absolute Carnage event in full.
