Spider-Man Noir #5

The penultimate issue of this 2020 Marvel series lands with a striking cover by Dave Rapoza, depicting a battered, bloodied Spider-Man Noir looming against a vivid crimson background — his dark coat and goggled mask torn and worn, fist raised amid trailing webs. The gritty, painterly image captures everything compelling about this shadowy corner of the Marvel universe, setting a fittingly brutal tone for the series' closing stretch. With Margaret Stohl writing and Juan Ferreyra handling art, inks, and colors throughout, this has been a series with a strong, unified creative vision.
