Ultimate Spider-Man #9

Against a stark black backdrop, this 2007 Marvel volume brings together a striking montage of Spider-Man's world — the wall-crawler himself takes center stage in his red-and-blue suit, surrounded by a gallery of faces that spans allies and rogues alike, including recognizable figures like Venom and a blazing Ghost Rider looming above. It's a compelling visual snapshot of just how rich and sprawling the Ultimate Spider-Man universe had become by this point. Fans of the series will find this collected edition a satisfying showcase of the title's broad cast and dramatic range.
