Ultimate Spider-Man #64

Spider-Man is caught in a desperate, visceral struggle on this cover, his red-and-blue suit nearly swallowed by the crimson tendrils of a symbiote creature coiling around him from all sides — and lurking at the bottom, a monstrous fanged figure looms with unmistakable menace. Mark Bagley's cover art for this fifth and final chapter of the "Carnage" arc crackles with kinetic tension, perfectly capturing a hero pushed to his absolute limit. It's a fittingly intense send-off to one of the Ultimate universe's most unsettling story arcs, brought to life by the Bendis-Bagley-Hanna team.
