Ultimate Doom #2

Against a backdrop of fire and devastation, the cover to Ultimate Doom #2 throws Spider-Man, Nova, and a red-suited spider-heroine into a desperate, full-throttle charge — with what appears to be a massive mechanized weapon looming at the upper left. Bryan Hitch and Paul Neary bring a sweeping cinematic energy to the composition, capturing a team pushed to their absolute limits amid the chaos. Part two of this four-part Brian Michael Bendis story, with interior art by Rafa Sandoval, promises the kind of high-stakes tension this cover so vividly sells.
