Universe X: Spidey #1
In "Spidey," Peter Parker vanishes during a mission to reach Spiders Man, leaving his daughter May to track him through a mind-bending illusion. With her mother as Venom, May ventures into her father’s psyche, where he’s built a dream world shaped by his deepest regrets and desires—where Gwen Stacy lives, Mary Jane is his wife, and even Harry Osborn is part of a perfect life, all while May is replaced by a brother named Ben. Written by Alex Ross and Jim Krueger, with art by Jackson Guice and inks by John Romita, Al Milgrom, and John Stanisci, this haunting exploration of memory and loss is brought to life in a striking cover by Alex Ross.
