Spider-Man: Reign 2 #4

The penultimate chapter of Spider-Man: Reign 2 arrives with a cover that pulls no punches — Spider-Man clutches a red-haired figure protectively as a massive, snarling Venom looms over them both, symbiote tendrils coiling through golden smoke and debris. Kaare Andrews, pulling triple duty as writer, artist, and inker, brings a raw, kinetic energy to the imagery, with Brian Reber's colors giving the chaos a smoldering, amber-drenched tension. If this 2024 series has been building toward something, this cover makes it unmistakably clear that the stakes have never felt more personal.
