Marvel spotlights the Artwork of Magic: The Gathering with Variant Covers

Posted on February 27, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team

Last year, Marvel Comics entered the world of Magic: The Gathering with Magic: The Gathering – Marvel’s Spider-Man! The all-new crossover set featured original artwork of Spider-Man, iconic Spider-Verse heroes, and legendary Spider-Man supervillains drawn by both superstar comic book artists and renowned Magic: The Gathering artists. To celebrate this exciting collaboration, Marvel will feature the art of Magic: The Gathering – Marvel’s Spider-Man on a new series of variant covers and virgin variant covers this May.

Fans can look forward to more Magic: The Gathering Variant Covers in the near future that spotlight additional Marvel-themed sets, including the highly anticipated Magic: The Gathering – Marvel Super Heroes set launching later this year.

Amazing Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral Body Count Fleshes Out Spidey’s Newest Supervillain, Torment!

Posted on February 1, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team

Spider-Man’s legendary rogues gallery just got a whole lot deadlier! Torment, a new super-powered serial killer, debuts next month in Amazing Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral #1, the kickoff issue of the “Death Spiral” crossover running in Amazing Spider-Man and Venom through April. Following the crossover, Torment will be spotlighted in Amazing Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral Body Count #1, a one-shot on sale in May.

In “Death Spiral,” Torment’s killing spree puts Spider-Man, A.K.A. Peter Parker; Venom, A.K.A. Mary Jane Watson; and Carnage, A.K.A. Eddie Brock on a dramatic collision course, and when the violence finally subsides, fans will be left wondering the truth behind the murderer’s dark motives and how deep his mysterious connection to Peter goes. All will be revealed in Amazing Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral Body Count #1 by Charles Soule, who’s co-writing the crossover alongside Joe Kelly and Al Ewing, and acclaimed artist Kev Walker.

Each chapter of “Death Spiral” features a Connecting Variant Cover by Iban Coello, spotlighting a key player of the saga with Torment looming in the background. The complete artwork will then be available as a variant cover for Amazing Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral Body Count #1. Fans can check out all nine parts and the fully connected piece along with Amazing Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral Body Count #1’s main cover by CAFU.

THE ORIGIN OF TORMENT!

The scariest new villain in the Marvel Universe finally gets his story told! He’s hunted Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson and Eddie Brock, killing his way to their throats and wrapping his razor whip around them. What forged the deadliest serial killer since Cletus Kasady? Find out in this one shot that will define Torment’s past and his future!

Pick up Amazing Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral #1 on February 25 and don’t miss Amazing Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral Body Count #1 this May!
