Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider #4

Mark Bagley and John Dell deliver a vertigo-inducing cover for this 2017 Marvel series, framing two versions of the Scarlet Spider in a dramatic mid-air confrontation — one in the familiar blue hoodie-and-red costume, the other in a sleek all-red spider-suit — plummeting and grappling against a dizzying urban skyline. The dynamic upward angle and the tension between the two figures make it immediately clear that Ben Reilly's world is anything but simple. Peter David's story, with interior art by Bagley, promises the same kinetic energy that this striking cover delivers.
