Rune vs. Venom #1

This 1995 Malibu/Marvel crossover one-shot brings together two of comics' most fearsome predators for a 48-page showdown. The cover by Greg Luzniak and Bruce McCorkindale pulls no punches — Venom's massive, symbiote-clad form looms over the winged, long-haired Rune, the two locked in a vicious mid-air grapple with claws and tendrils flying amid a stormy urban backdrop. It's a genuinely thrilling collision of the Ultraverse and Marvel universes, rendered with the kind of raw, kinetic energy that made mid-'90s crossovers so much fun.
