DC Comics: Grim, Gritty, Gruesome
I was going to write almost this exact same joke based on the cover alone, but Tim O'Neil has pictures from the inside, so his is better.
Speaking of plotlines that look totally bizarre if you're not totally immersed in mainstream American comic book, and maybe they seem weird from that perspective, too: it looks like Marvel may get its wish of an unattached Spider-Man. As befitting that character's historical grounding in the realities of everyday existence outside of his superpowers, the winds of plot change whisper... "Mephisto."
