Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #20

The "Venom War" arc hits its second chapter here, and Sara Pichelli's cover makes an immediate impression: a symbiote-shrouded figure in a dark, web-streaked suit stands atop a massive, grotesque Venom — all slavering tongue and raw menace — in a composition that feels both triumphant and deeply unsettling. Brian Michael Bendis and Pichelli's 2013 Ultimate Comics run consistently delivered high-stakes tension, and this image captures that atmosphere perfectly. If you've been following Miles Morales's world, this is one you won't want to skip past on the shelf.
