The main cover of Spider-Man: Black Suit & Blood #1 by Leinil Francis Yu shows Spider-Man in his black costume, thwipping a web at a foe off-panel. His black body is covered in blood, giving a preview of what fans can expect inside the comics page. Other variant covers (all shown below) show Spider-Man together with Mary Jane, Spidey caught in a spotlight on a building, and another of the web-slinger hitting a pose.
