Written by acclaimed superstar writer Chip Zdarsky (Daredevil, Batman, Sex Criminals), featuring interior artwork by Pasqual Ferry (Thor, Mister Miracle), colors by Matt Hollingsworth, and a striking cover illustration by renowned fan-favorite artist Phil Noto (Black Widow, Star Wars, signed noto on the lower left).

The moody, abstract artistic cover illustration—crafted by Phil Noto—presents a sinister, organic silhouetted motif of alien symbiote tendrils spreading across a glowing blood-red and deep-purple background, evoking pure psychological horror.

In this penultimate fourth issue of Chip Zdarsky's darker reimagining of Peter Parker's origin with the alien black suit, Spider-Man has fully succumbed to the symbiote's corrupting influence, becoming a ruthless, lethal vigilante who executes his enemies. As Peter's former friends and Sinister Six foes realize the terrifying threat he now poses, Kingpin, Jameson, and the remaining heroes must unite in a desperate bid to stop the alien monster Peter Parker has become before he destroys New York City.

This unslabbed raw comic issue is in top-tier collectible condition (estimated VF/NM 9.0 or better), featuring clean edges, sharp corners, a flat spine, and vibrant color depth—making it an essential pickup for Spider-Man collectors, Symbiote / Venom fans, Chip Zdarsky readers, and Phil Noto art enthusiasts.
