Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider #5

The Scarlet Spider claws his way up from the dirt in front of a grave bearing his own name — "Ben Reilly: Died a Hero" — as lightning fractures the sky and dead leaves scatter in every direction, making for one of 2018's most viscerally striking Marvel covers. Khary Randolph's linework captures Ben's battered, red-suited fists gripping the earth with desperate urgency, the masked face tilted upward in defiance. Collecting the "Deal with the Devil" arc, this trade paperback from David, Sliney, Oliveira, and Rosenberg promises a story as haunted and complicated as its unforgettable cover image.
