The Amazing Spider-Man #526

Part 6 of the twelve-part "The Other: Evolve or Die" crossover arrives in this 2006 chapter titled "Reckoning," and Mike Deodato's cover sets a deeply unsettling tone. A menacing, long-haired figure looms over a battered, tattered Spider-Man — clutching him with a sinister grin that radiates cold malice — rendered in a striking, moody blue palette. Reginald Hudlin scripts the story while Deodato's cover art makes one thing unmistakably clear: whatever reckoning is coming for Spider-Man, it looks very, very bad.
