Sinister War #2 – Rhino Handbook Variant (2021) is a thrilling continuation of Marvel’s high-stakes villain showdown, placing Spider-Man at the centre of an escalating conflict between multiple supervillain teams. This issue forms part of one of the most chaotic chapters in Spidey’s recent history, written by Nick Spencer with art by Mark Bagley, and it delivers explosive action, strategic alliances, and a dizzying array of familiar foes.
The Rhino Handbook Variant cover adds a collector's touch, featuring detailed character artwork that pays homage to classic Marvel handbook designs. This variant highlights Rhino, one of Spider-Man’s most iconic and physically imposing adversaries, bringing a sense of nostalgia and reference-book elegance to the modern storyline.
Inside, the plot ramps up as Peter Parker finds himself the target of not one, but several villain factions, including the Sinister Six, Savage Six, Sinister Syndicate, and Wild Pack, all manipulated by the resurrected Kindred. The result is a relentless, high-energy conflict that stretches Peter’s endurance to its limits, both physically and emotionally.
Nick Spencer’s writing keeps the stakes high while weaving in long-simmering threads from his run on Amazing Spider-Man. This isn’t just a slugfest—it’s a culmination of complex character dynamics, betrayals, and the weight of secrets finally bearing down on Spider-Man. Spencer masterfully captures the desperation of a hero outnumbered and outmanoeuvred, while still finding moments for humour and heart.
Mark Bagley, a legend in Spider-Man illustration, brings his signature style to every page—crisp lines, expressive characters, and kinetic action scenes. Bagley’s ability to juggle multiple characters in crowded, explosive layouts makes him the ideal artist for such a villain-packed story. The issue is beautifully coloured and tightly inked, adding visual weight to the nonstop battles and shadowy backroom manoeuvrings.
This is not just a comic—it’s a celebration of Spider-Man’s rogues’ gallery and a must-have for fans of Spidey’s most formidable adversaries.
Each comic is carefully encased in an acid-free protective sleeve with a rigid backing board, ideal for collectors who value long-term preservation.
