Spectacular Spider-Man #18

Part of Marvel's 2004 "Disassembled" publishing event, this issue pulls Spider-Man into some genuinely unsettling territory. The cover by Humberto Ramos and Wayne Faucher is a striking low-angle composition — Spider-Man crouches forward in darkness, his suit bathed in fiery orange light while glowing white eyes peer out from shadow, jagged icy tendrils framing the entire scene with an eerie, otherworldly threat. With Paul Jenkins writing and Ramos on interior art, "Changes, Part 2" promises the kind of tense, atmospheric storytelling this creative team does so well.
