Superior Spider-Man #9

This arresting Marcos Martín cover for Superior Spider-Man #9 turns the hero's head into a literal exposed brain, with two tiny figures — one clinging to its surface, another swinging from a web at the top — suggesting a battle playing out entirely within someone's mind. Dan Slott's "Troubled Mind Part Two: Gray Matters" promises the kind of psychologically charged storytelling that defined this bold Marvel NOW! era run, brought to life inside by Ryan Stegman and colorist Edgar Delgado. It's a wonderfully unsettling image that makes the mental landscape feel like its own action-packed battlefield.
