Marvel Comics has revealed artist Jeehyung Lee’s variant cover for January’s Giant-Size Spider-Man #1.
Giant-Size Spider-Man #1 hails from writer Cody Ziglar and artist Iban Coello. The upcoming one-shot pits Peter Parker’s protégé, Miles Morales/Spider-Man, against Eddie Brock’s son, Dylan Brock/Venom, for the very first time. Lee’s variant cover shows Miles quite literally leaping into the belly of the beast.

“In a series where I’ve had the luck to do a lot of firsts, I’m so stoked that I’m able to add Miles and Dylan’s first interaction with each other to that list,” said Ziglar, the current writer behind Miles Morales: Spider-Man. “I look forward to readers seeing Iban’s incredible work in another action-packed book featuring everyone’s favorite Brooklyn-based Spider-Man.”
Of course, Miles and Dylan’s first meeting isn’t the only thing Giant-Size Spider-Man #1 has in store. The massive one-shot also reprints 2013’s Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man #22 by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli. That particular issue is noteworthy for featuring the conclusion of Miles’ first battle with Ultimate Venom (whose host was Conrad Marcus at the time).
