DescriptionIt’s been a long time since I added some new art by Chris Bachalo whose art I keep closely following from project to project.Here an Amazing Spider-Man page without Spidey but a villains monster fest instead. How about the first 2/3 splash first panel featuring a drastic (and successful imho) redesign, reinterpretation, reappropriation of the Lizard? That gator like face and figure worked really well for me both from a story and design point of view. Having him and his family hide and live in the sewers? Quite coherent with the Spidey mythos. How about a skull heavy sneak peak of Taskmaster? Another fav’ of mine since his Byrne/Perez days in Avengers. Chris made a great job of convening their need to be stealthy in the sewers by way of each character’s body language here. How about a sneak peak of Vermine munchin’ off some human meat (shhhh…don’t disturb him)? Also well in character from another character I’ve loved since Dematteis created him and wrote him to great effect in Kraven Last Hunt and the Child Within arc in Spectacular. The 3 panels choice by Chris works well to enhance the disgusting feeling the reader experiences in watching him feed. And lastly, I believe the second panel may very well feature Chris himself (the Bachalo family?) as terrorized witnesses to this horrid scene. Mention to the always crisp inks of Mr Al Vey.

Nice page for all of the reasons you note! I've loved Bachalo's Lizard rendition since back in the Shed arc in ASM and he's just continued on here. Those Vermin panels are great and I do think that's Chris and his fam :) Congrats!

How in the world did I miss you posting this one?!? Fantastic page. Spidey's Rogues Gallery is my favorite in all of comics, and it is really special to have such a great piece spotlighting his Lizard, easily the most compelling take on the character since McFarlane's dramatic (and awesome) redesign in the late-80's. Great Taskmaster, too. Fun sewer-y atmosphere, taken over the top thanks to Vermin and his choice of snack food. Wicked cool Bachalo add, F M - love this!

Hey! How cool is this? I somehow missed it at the time, but we're now officially OA neighbors! I was very fortunate to have gotten page 10 a few short months ago, and would normally pop on by and ask to borrow a cup of rice, but after seeing what Vermin is up to in panels 3-5 (boy, do I love his teeth in panel 4 - so creepy cool!) I think I'll pass. You're welcome to stop by for some salt, if you'd like (although that might only serve to -encourage- Vermin...)
(I love the cameo and expression by the dude who looks like Doctor Strange in panel two, as if Bachalo (after having just wrapped up his run there) drooped in a stunned Stephen, whose expression clearly portrays him thinking, "What in Agamotto's name is brewing over here...? OH, MY GOD. I only had to go dimension hopping to deal with the end of magic as we know it... This? This is -hardcore-...!")
