Please tell me the change art work is permanent (or at least for multiple arcs). This looks good hopefully slott won't disappoint. Sounds like it will be fun

@spiderman20991992: I'm sorry. I disagree. Ramos is far more superior than a newspaper comic strip artist. Only because he is one of my favourite artists (as well as Caselli). But everyone has their different tastes in art. But in my opinion, Camuncoli does nothing for me.

They should have an even more rare variant cover of that same cover...except have it be Rhys Ifans biting down on Spidey's neck. And is that Morbius?

It looks good, the art looks really clean. I find it interesting that Spidey has that harpoon knife in the first few panels with the lizard and stabs him in the shoulder with it, but then he also has it in the panels with Michael Morbius. Maybe it has something to do with both the Lizard and Morbius's blood being mutated and Spiderman trying to get samples to cure them with Horizon labs tech. Just a thought.

From the looks of the picture, though, Morbius is the one with the knife, though. Looks like he's dropping it. And in the first bit, he seems to be pulling the knife out of a cache of what looks to be a pile of the things. So... whatever that means...

Morbius YES, I love that character, ever since he appeared in TAS from the 90s. "I long for plasma," great stuff!

Ends of the Earth has been disappointing to me, hopefully this will make up for it, while not being a cash-in for the movie coming out

Art looks sick. I never thought it would be this hard to trade wait for this but it is. Have every hardback that is out right now. In the end it will be worth it but I'll be damn if Dan Slott tempts me with every story arc he does.

All of Dan's arcs have started of pretty friendly to new readers making it easy to dive in. but for anyone who wants to read all of Dan's run you can find it in these collections.
