VENOM Series

Modern Marvel master Al Ewing continues his groundbreaking run on Venom, with an epic showdown vs. eternal symbiote rival Carnage!

Carnage is back! Born anew in symbiote goo and blood, Cletus Kasady is more dangerous and violent than ever before — and he has his sights dead set on an unsuspecting Venom! Untested against the might of his symbiotic sibling without his father by his side, can Dylan Brock hold the sadistic serial killer at bay? Will Carnage live up to its namesake and leave another brutalized symbiote host in its wake? Or is Dylan just bait for Eddie Brock, the King in Black himself? In the greatest depths of space and at the end of existence, some carnivorous new species has blossomed. Something blood red, with thorns — and an appetite! Plus: There’s one thing that can still kill Carnage: Anti-Venom! And if things weren’t wild enough, the BLOOD HUNT begins, and Venom must unleash lethal justice on hordes of vampires!

Meet Venom’s most powerful form yet! With the truth about Eddie Brock, Bedlam and the Garden of Time revealed at last, Eddie has no choice but to fight heaven, Earth, space and time to get back to his son. But it may all be for naught. Eddie’s greatest fears are at the precipice of being realized as Dylan may still succumb to the darkness within him! Eddie has faced down many monsters in his time, but few have been as terrifying as the one born of his own rage.

At the mercy of Bedlam! With Dylan Brock’s life hanging in the balance, where is his father, Eddie, the original Venom? Or more accurately: when?! After the Venom symbiote’s Hail Mary decision, Dylan is about to see sides of symbiosis, the Klyntar and perhaps even his own father that he never imagined! And forced to watch his son suffer from across the timestream, Eddie finds himself surrounded by enemies – alone and with no one to trust, until an unexpected ally intervenes. Suddenly, Eddie is caught in a dark web spun by Chasm and the Goblin Queen – with all his deepest fears realized! Meanwhile, Bedlam is determined to kill Dylan and Venom once and for all – unless an old friend can lend a crimson-clad hand. Collecting VENOM (2021) #11-15.

The new Venom is in the fight of his life – and he may be in it alone! As Dylan Brock and his symbiote continue to learn to live together without Eddie Brock, the Life Foundation has activated a deadly new operative named the Spearhead! Dylan and Venom aren’t the only ones dead in his sights: Every single symbiote that they (and you!) have ever known and cared about is a target as well! And without Eddie’s guidance, Dylan stands poised to give into the same darkness that his father once did. Meanwhile, Eddie is still getting used to his new place in the symbiote hive. But little does he know that his battle across the cosmos has only just begun – and Kang the Conqueror has a front-row seat for its first act! Collecting VENOM (2021) #6-10.

One blockbuster era gives way to another! Symbiotic writing team Al Ewing and Ram V join superstar artist Bryan Hitch to unleash their vision of Venom! Together, they will push Eddie and Dylan Brock to their limits – and as everything Dylan has come to know and love unravels around him, he begins to realize the terrible truth about his new “other.” The Venom symbiote is not a harmless pet, no matter how much it pretends to be one. It’s an alien. A dangerous, violent, often bloodthirsty alien. Whatever bond it had with Dylan’s father, Eddie – as special as it may have been – is now gone. And Dylan might be gone soon too. Because the villainous Life Foundation is back, led by the insidious Carlton Drake – and they have the new Venom square in their sights! Collecting VENOM (2021) #1-5.
