8 Best Comic Storylines Featuring Spider-Man: Far From Home Villains

7. Daredevil: Guardian Devil

A Spider-Man story this may not be, but it's one fans of Mysterio should look at all the same.

Daredevil: Guardian Devil is one of the more revered storylines to feature the Man Without Fear, with Kevin Smith and Joe Quesada collaborating to tell a story that shone a light on the religious aspects of Matt Murdock's character. The premise? Matt comes across a baby that is said to be the Anti-Christ, while at the same time his old enemy Bullseye resurfaces.

The comic is most famous for the death of Karen Page, but the comic also continues the trend of the Man Without Fear borrowing Spider-Man's villains to great success, with Mysterio pulling the strings behind the scenes in an attempt to get one last victory while Peter Parker is out of action.

This is Quentin Beck at his most sinister, so don't expect it to inform too much of Far from Home come the summer. In any case, you won't find a Mysterio story much better than it.
