I normally hate word bubbles on covers. I like this one.
This is more the 2000s vibe - a la Mary Jane Venom cover.
I get a very Adam Hughes vibe from this one.
I agree, thought it was Hughes because of the outlining, he seems to do that on his newer stuff.
Sozomaika on a tear these days…

Looks like Final Boss (on FOC this week) was previously released through Whatnot Publishing back in 2022.
Anyone else thinking maybe something is happening in this issue? ![]()
“Absolute Batman,” has dipped its toe into body-horror. It seems to be diving into the metaphorical pool with this Absolute Joker, however.
#15 is gonna have crazy high orders and it’s still gonna go to multiple prints, I believe.
Gaw dam - who let this freak out. Too bad this issue couldn’t be released in OCT 2025. Someone give me a BAT, gotta smash that POS…
One of those times that I’d typically think to myself, “don’t go too heavy…there will be a million copies out there”…and I’ll end up wrong.
It’s often surprising that a vast majority of fans don’t really pay attention to FOC. Book will be all the hype on release with people after it.
Ive already seen at least 5 store exclusives…
…Nah. I’m sticking with Ultimate Spider-Man for my entertainment. I look forward to many years of that.
Wait, what?
Always leave them wanting more…

Sorry for being a bit late on this
I love Mannion’s work & it doesn’t come up all that often
Fun cover on this FOC.
