THE FIGHT TO BE THE ONE, TRUE VENOM BECOMES A THREE-WAR, CARNAGE GRASPS AT GODHOOD, THE FANTASTIC FOUR TURN THE TIDE AND MORE IN UPCOMING VENOM WAR TIE-IN ISSUES!

Check out covers and learn about new ‘Venom War’ tie-in issues on sale this October.

MAXIMUM CARNAGE. ABSOLUTE CARNAGE. KING IN BLACK. Every few years, the wild symbiote corner of the Marvel Universe erupts in a saga oozing with violence, drama, and insanity that only Venom and his kind can deliver. This August, the next milestone symbiote event arrives in Al Ewing and Iban Coello’s VENOM WAR. Today, fans glimpse ahead at the showdown to come with information on new tie-in issues on sale in October, including all-new limited series and the reveal of the third issue of the main event series!

A master at planning out epic storylines, Ewing has been laying the foundation for VENOM WAR since he began his run in 2021. Limitless in scope, the series has pushed Eddie Brock and his son, Dylan, to their limits on journeys across space and time, with mythos-shattering revelations unraveling every step of the way. Being a symbiote host has never been more demanding, and after both recieve terrifying glimpses of the future, they realize only one of them can be Venom. Their father and son feud will become everyone’s problem as past and present symbiote characters are forced to take a side—while others choose to take advantage of the chaos!

“It’s very difficult to tell a boring Venom story,” Ewing told Newsarama in a recent interview. “Even when our run’s been at its timey-est and wimey-est, something about the symbiote demands a degree of all-out action, wildness, and weirdness. Venom and his hosts have a degree of inherent unpredictability – not to mention antisociability – that makes for all manner of thrill-power, and also a fair amount of gritty character drama as various humans have to work out their relationships with this alien goo-beast. (And the many other alien goo-beasts he brings along for the ride.)”

Here’s what symbiote heads can look forward to in VENOM WAR throughout October!
