Strange #272

In "Cardiac attaque," Justin Hammer pulls strings from the shadows, using Silver Sable to manipulate Spidey into targeting the unpredictable Cardiac—only to then send Boomerang after Spidey himself. Meanwhile, Eddie Brock’s release from prison is just the beginning, as the Venom symbiote leaves behind a fragment to awaken something far darker in the cell next door. Written by David Michelinie and illustrated by Mark Bagley, with inks by Randy Emberlin and colors by Bob Sharen, the issue’s cover by Paul Ryan captures the tension with sharp, striking detail.
