Spider-Man & the X-Men #5

Stacey Lee's cover for issue #5 plunges you straight into symbiote chaos — a black-suited Spider-Man falls forward while a snarling, purple-hued symbiote creature looms behind him, all framed by the gaping maws of Venom-like monsters closing in from every side. Amid the mayhem, a handful of young mutant students — including a skeletal figure in a glass helmet — are caught right in the middle of the carnage. It's a wonderfully unsettling image that makes Elliott Kalan, Marco Failla, and Ian Herring's 2015 series feel like exactly the kind of wild, dangerous ride a Spider-Man-meets-X-Men team-up should be.
