The Amazing Spider-Man #29 (993)

Something deeply unsettling is taking root in this 2026 issue of The Amazing Spider-Man, as Mark Bagley's cover depicts Spider-Man engulfed and overtaken by grotesque fungal growth — tendrils, mushrooms, and spores consuming his suit while a hazy cityscape looms in the pink-tinged background. The cover's tagline, "Witness the Birth of Spore," signals that Joe Kelly and Pete Woods are introducing a new threat with a distinctly organic, creeping menace. It's a visually striking premise that makes this issue hard to pass up for any Spider-Man fan.
