In honour of the 35th anniversary of Venom, Marvel Comics is planning to kick off the "Summer of Symbiotes," a season-long celebration of all things symbiote including new titles, characters, and more.
Last month, we got our first taste of the symbiote insanity that awaits in a teaser that heralded the foreboding "Death of Venomverse." However, before that epic begins, we'll get to witness the Venomverse expand like never before in a new limited series, Extreme Venomverse.
Launching in May, it will take fans to uncharted corners of the hive with brand-new stories by an all-star lineup of talent.
In the same spirit as the hit series, Edge of Spider-Verse, this landmark new series will feature jaw-dropping turning points for iconic characters like Eddie Brock and Dylan Brock and see never-before-seen Venoms bear their fangs for the very first time.
Now, we can get a taste of the stories that await in the second issue before it goes on sale in May!
- Venom scribe Al Ewing and artist Vincenzo Carratù (Mary Jane & Black Cat) unite to tell a purrfect tale about your favorite cat burglar and a certain heist she may have pulled on Marvel’s First Family! Witness what happens when Felicia Hardy slips into her very own symbiote!
- Revisit Marvel: 1602, with Clay McLeod Chapman and Paul Davidson, as they introduce the creepiest Venom ever.
- David Pepose and Ken Lashley introduce you to the twist L.M.V. - Life-Model Venom! Cyborg Spider-Man, eat your heart out!
So, face front, Venomaniacs, because the Summer of Symbiotes is underway! You can check out Leinil Francis Yu's Extreme Venomverse #2 cover below with a first look at those twisted Venom Variants, and we'll no doubt have more details to share with you about what's to come very soon.
It's recently been reported that Sony Pictures' Venom 3 will begin shooting this summer (with Kelly Marcel at the helm), so 2023 really does look set to be an exciting year for this character...
