Avenging Spider-Man #19

Paolo Rivera's cover for this 2013 Marvel issue says it all: a massive, glowing-eyed figure in purple robes clutches a torn piece of webbing with Spider-Man caught helplessly within its folds, while a horde of snarling green creatures clamors upward from below. The sheer scale between the towering threat and the trapped wall-crawler makes for an unsettling image perfectly matched to the story's title, "Bad Dreams." Christopher Yost writes, with Marco Checchetto on art and Rachelle Rosenberg's colors bringing the whole eerie encounter to life.
