“Strange Love Chapter #2: Gone Girl”
★ 1st appearance — Rickie Lund

Two Spider-Men swing together through a moonlit city skyline in Emilio Laiso's dynamic cover for The Spectacular Spider-Men #9 — Peter Parker in his classic red-and-blue suit and Miles Morales in his black-and-red costume, both caught mid-motion against a backdrop of glowing skyscrapers. The image captures the easy, kinetic energy of a genuine partnership, which makes writer Greg Weisman and artists Andrés Genolet and Emilio Laiso's "Strange Love Chapter #2: Gone Girl" feel all the more intriguing. If the cover's sense of fluid, shared momentum is any indication, this 2025 chapter has plenty of web-slinging camaraderie — and maybe a few complications — in store.

  • Written by Greg Weisman; interior art by Andrés Genolet and Emilio Laiso; colors by Edgar Delgado; letters by VC Joe Caramagna; cover by Emilio Laiso.
  • Three variant covers: standard Emilio Laiso cover, a Dave Johnson variant, and a Josemaria Casanovas Kraven the Hunter variant.
