Symbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality #[nn]

Spider-Man's sleek black symbiote suit takes center stage here, web-swinging through a chaotic urban scene while a pumpkin-bomb-wielding Hobgoblin closes in menacingly from behind. Greg Land's pencils (inked by Jay Leisten) bring real kinetic energy to the confrontation, with glowing jack-o'-lanterns scattering across the composition to give the whole image a genuinely unsettling Halloween flair. This 2020 Marvel trade paperback collects the Alien Reality storyline and makes a strong visual case that the black-suited era still has plenty of thrills left to offer.
