Spider-Geddon #2

The cover of Spider-Geddon #2 makes an immediate impression: a triumphant, gray-skinned villain in a long dark coat stands grinning atop a field of rubble and fallen Spider-heroes — including a downed Spider-Gwen visible in the foreground and a battered red-masked Spider-figure dangling from his grip — while a dark-suited, green-accented spider-warrior with mechanical tentacles battles at his side against a fiery orange sky. Jorge Molina's cover art crackles with menace, conveying a sense that the spider-army is in serious trouble by issue two of this 2018 Marvel event. Written by Christos Gage and Dan Slott, this is the kind of multiversal thriller that earns its dramatic cover.
