The Amazing Spider-Man #28 (992)

This 2026 installment of The Amazing Spider-Man opens with a striking cover by Cory Smith — a battered, bloodied Spider-Man crouching on a rooftop ledge, fists clenched and eyes narrowed with fierce determination despite clearly having been through the wringer. The gritty urban setting and torn costume suggest Peter Parker is pushing past his limits, and the raw intensity of the image sets a serious, grounded tone for whatever lies inside. With Joe Kelly scripting and Marcio Menyz bringing vivid color to Smith's linework, this is a creative team clearly committed to putting the "amazing" to the test.
