Spider-Woman #18

The cover of this 2000 Marvel series finale says it all — a bold "Last Issue!" banner frames a striking dual image of Spider-Woman in her dark, web-winged costume poised in the background, while a confident, smiling young woman dominates the foreground, holding a small smiley-face button in her palm. Bart Sears and Randy Elliott's cover work delivers real visual punch, contrasting the heroic and the everyday in a way that feels both triumphant and bittersweet. "Dry Bones" closes out the series on John Byrne's watch, making this a satisfying final chapter for fans who followed this incarnation of Spider-Woman from the start.
