Variant Cover by MIKE PERKINS
Sketch Variant Cover by LEE BERMEJO
The dead are still dead and the living are still finding their way through this horribly altered landscape of America. Thus, it’s a perfect time to—bring on the bad guys! Randall Flagg performs his first act of magic and begins his cross country journey in a souped-up Buick. And then, there’s the strangest addition to the cast yet...Donald Merwin Elbert, the Trashcan Man, a pyromaniac who suddenly has no one to curb his unhealthy obsession with blowing things up. All this plus Rita suggests to Larry Underwood that they should start making their way out of New York, perhaps via...the Lincoln Tunnel! And you know what that means.

Foggy Nelson and his loyal assistant Matt Murdock, it all starts when a desperate woman comes to their office with an irresistible story about her and Halloran. To Foggy, she's a client -- to Murdock, she's enough to make Halloran Daredevil's next target.

This issue, that happens to be Danny Ketch, a man who knows a thing or two when it comes to curses.

This lush art book will feature a treasure trove of Marko's cover illustrations — plus sketches, designs and extensive discussion about the process that has made him one of Marvel's most popular artists. In collaboration with the artist himself, and with input from his peers, THE ART OF MARKO DJURDJEVIC will be the kind of deluxe art book you’ll be proud to show off to friends and fellow art fans.

Cover by MARK BAGLEY
The Green Goblin returns — will Spider-Man survive the rematch? Peter Parker has a secret. Bitten by a radioactive spider, he gained the powers of a human arachnid — super-strength, adhesion to walls and incredible agility. Inspired by his uncle’s tragic death, Peter became Spider-Man, New York City’s hometown super hero. Only two people know his secret identity — one is his best friend, confidante and girlfriend Mary Jane Watson. The other — ruthless businessman Norman Osborn, otherwise known as the Green Goblin. In their first battle, Norman nearly killed Peter before his own apparent death. But now, the Goblin has returned, more powerful than ever before. And Osborn will use his knowledge of Peter’s double identity to control the teenager — threatening the lives of Mary Jane and his beloved Aunt May if Peter refuses to obey. Will Spider-Man be forced to serve his greatest enemy to protect his loved ones from harm? Collecting ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #14-27.
