Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider #5

Two red-suited spider-figures clash in a breathtaking mid-air struggle above a city canyon of towering skyscrapers, with Ben Reilly's distinctive blue-and-red Scarlet Spider costume anchoring the dynamic composition as he grapples with a fully red-costumed opponent. Mark Bagley and John Dell deliver a cover brimming with kinetic energy — the plunging urban perspective and swirling clouds giving the confrontation a real sense of vertigo and scale. Peter David's 2017 run on this series hits its stride at issue five, and this cover promises the kind of identity-charged tension that makes Ben Reilly such a compelling corner of the Spider-Man world.
