Amazing Spider-Man: Worldwide #9

A crimson-drenched threat looms large on Alex Ross's painted cover for this *Amazing Spider-Man: Worldwide* volume, as a ferocious red symbiote figure stands triumphant over a pile of defeated heroes — including figures in black and white symbiote suits and a gold-and-white costumed character — all rendered in Ross's signature hyper-realistic style. The saturated scarlet atmosphere and ghostly forms swirling in the background give the image a genuinely unsettling weight. With Dan Slott, Stuart Immonen, Wade Von Grawbadger, and Edgar Delgado bringing the interior pages to life, this 2018 collection promises the ambitious, globe-spanning Spider-Man storytelling that earned it the praise splashed right on the cover.
