Spider-Man: The Complete Ben Reilly Epic #3

Collecting the mid-'90s Ben Reilly era in style, this 2011 Marvel volume features a striking cover by Mark Bagley and Larry Mahlstedt showcasing a Carnage-symbiote-clad figure — all jagged red-and-black tendrils and menacing claws — looming against a fiery orange backdrop, with a "Maximum Carnage" banner making the thematic stakes clear. Bagley's dynamic linework, inked by Mahlstedt, gives the figure an unsettling, almost volcanic energy that perfectly captures the chaos of this chapter in the Ben Reilly saga. At $39.99, it's a substantial tome for fans eager to revisit one of Spider-Man's most turbulent stretches.
