Ultimate Spider-Man #9

Spider-Man crouches in the foreground, energy crackling around him, while a formidable lineup of villains looms behind him — including a stern, bald figure in a suit, a cloaked figure with a glowing blue orb at its head, and several other shadowy, menacing characters emerging from a smoky backdrop. The sheer weight of opposition assembled on Marco Checchetto's cover makes it immediately clear that Peter Parker is facing pressure from multiple directions at once. Jonathan Hickman, Checchetto, and Matthew Wilson continue building their gripping Ultimate universe in this September 2024 installment.
