Madame Web seems to have briefly brought the world together in that everyone who has seen it universally has declared it to be an awful movie. Apparently the Spider-Women of the movie only appear in costume for a vision of the future late in the film that only last a couple of minutes and the rest of the run time is filled with disjointed scenes and laughable dialogue. Maybe Sony Picture would have been better served by featuring a trio of bug-based heroes like the ones on the cover above?

I saw it at my hometown multiplex on the Wednesday afternoon it opened. So, I can tell you for a fact that the precognitive vision also happens relatively early in the movie, as well. I also enjoyed it for the most part. Definitely far more than I enjoyed either of the Venom flicks!
Although, personally, I would've preferred Judas Traveler being the name of the Chief Bad Guy rather than Ezekiel Sims. But, that last remark is more of a nitpick than a legit complaint.
Haven't seen "Madame Web" yet; so I'll just comment on the cover.
Clever idea bringing these three together, with their shared insect/arachnid theme. I assume that "The Exterminator" is an original creation for the STF Universe?
This one really works well Great idea and excellent execution.
Jared, yes just a fitting sounding villain name for these three, I figured. There is a recurring STF Original villain that will start to begin regularly - actually, he's already had his first appearance: Mr. Universe!
Finally!! I've been waiting for this cover for years (or something very much like it).
Part 2 from STF #988, just missing the fabled lead...Irving S.!!!The bugs are back!
Irving is Irwin twin brother with sight problems. (Thanks Matt & Mike)
I'm going to join Cary in breaking that "everyone" and "universally." After seeing Madame Web on its first showing, can say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Once I saw that the three girls were apparently not going to get their powers by the end, I just accepted it for a "pre-origin" story for them. And that makes sense; after all, the movie is Madame Web, not The Spider-Women.
I also didn't have much trouble with the dialogue. Perhaps it was the way it was delivered; on the other hand, my real baseline for bad dialogue is The Rise of Skywalker (the only thing I really don't like about that movie).
As for today's cover, this would make for an interesting team-up. As an interesting side-note, The Exterminator was the original alias of the original Death-Stalker. Whether there's any connection with this one, of course, is up to you.
And as long as you have Mr. Universe as an original recurring villain, I think it'd be fun to see a multi-parter where a series of individuals take on the mantle of Captain Universe to battle him. And I think it might be appropriate to put him against Iron Beetle, too (possibly in another team-up with GL Murdock).
Aah Fly-Girl.. the Fantastic silly stories of her Era, the All star from Roy Thomas, and the Only Spider woman that the public would know…. a Fun Team up…
I wonder if Spidey will ever meet The Web (from MLJ)?
I wonder if Deathstroke will ever meet Lady Deathstrike?
I wonder if Deadpool and Raven will ever become the parents of Ravenpool?
@Jared Mello: I wonder if the Exterminator is another name for the Frazetta Death-dealer?
I'd thought you'd use Web Woman or even DC's Insect Queen (instead of DC's Tarantula) for a female insect threesome. Maybe for some future covers then?
@Cary & Jared: more likely a rogue Dalek.
