Venom: The Land Where Killers Dwell #[nn]

Two symbiote-clad figures clash against a smoldering orange sky above a darkened cityscape — one looming large and menacing while the other, smaller and agile, crackles with electricity in defiance. Declan Shalvey's cover art (with colors by Jordie Bellaire) gives the 2013 trade a striking, high-contrast silhouette quality that makes the tension between the two figures feel genuinely electric. If you're looking for Venom pushed to his limits against a formidable black-suited threat, The Land Where Killers Dwell looks like a compelling place to start.
