>As our exclusive artwork by Clayton Crain shows (click the image to see a larger version), the character roster for this miniseries is a deep dive into all things Venom. The epic image will actually make up five interlocking covers featuring venomized versions of beloved characters both new and old, from fresh additions like Laura Kinney’s All-New Wolverine to deep cut classics like the Venomsaurus Rex from Old Man Logan. Venomverse is throwing fans headfirst into a whole world of symbiote-suited superheroes, led by none other than Eddie Brock himself.

>>With a huge cast of characters and a figure as notorious as Venom smack bang in the middle, a lot of thought went into exactly who would be bonding with the infamous alien parasites. “Part of picking this cast was definitely thinking about who readers would be most excited to see,” said Cullen Bunn, “but another part of it–something that I’ve always found important–is how the Venom symbiote interacts with other hosts. What’s really exciting is that we get to see this with characters you’d never expect, like Black Panther, Mary Jane, and Old Man Logan.”

>>When your protagonist is an anti-hero with a powerset that makes him almost invincible, you have create some pretty atrocious antagonists. With the Poisons, Marvel has gone full dark, no stars. Devin Lewis explained that “the Poisons will present a unique challenge for these Venoms, who’re some of the strongest and most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe. They’re nature’s answer to the symbiotes.” A completely new addition to Marvel canon and based on character designs by Ed McGuinness, the Poisons are set to be an integral part of Venomverse, one that could have a potentially harrowing impact on the symbiote super team.

Has Cullen Bunn ever written anything good?

>What can fans expect from Venomverse? “There are definitely some horrific moments in this series, not just the gross-out or the jump scare. I think there’s some real emotional horror aspects to this story. The threat they’re dealing with has some pretty strong horror chops,” elaborated Bunn. He’s no stranger to horror comics, with his popular Southern Gothic witch comic, Harrow County, and his new book, Regression. Bunn plans to return Eddie Brock to his horror roots whilst also exploring the sci-fi origin of the symbiote itself. “For me, just because we’re dealing with the symbiotes in general, there’s a heavy science fiction element to this story,” Bunn explained. “It’s heavily rooted in some sci-fi horror inspiration.”

>Though Venomverse will have its darker influences, the inclusion of characters like the Venom from Spider-Ham’s universe, Pork Grind, and everyone’s favorite wisecracking Merc With a Mouth, Deadpool, hint that the event will also be one that’s fun. It harkens back to the ’90s era of extreme comics, placing these classic characters on one wild ride. “Cullen has done an incredible job of lacing every script with fun, bombastic energy. Deadpool is one of our main venomized protagonists. He’s got so much heart and he’s also a source of unpredictability, insanity, and goofiness,” said Lewis.

>The story will put a number of unexpected characters into symbiote suits, including Guardians of the Galaxy’s very own Rocket Raccoon and the Spirit of Vengeance himself, Ghost Rider. “I think Ghost Rider is a great representation of where this series can go,” said Bunn. “I don’t know that anyone would ever expect to see Ghost Rider in a symbiote suit, so I think he’s the perfect example of how this series will go into some real unexpected territory.”

>The main Venomverse book is a complete story but there’s also Edge of Venomverse, which will see more of Marvel’s most famous characters getting venomized. With a roster of exciting creators including Si Spurrier, Tigh Walker, Clay McLeod Chapman, James Stokoe, and Ryan Key of Yellowcard, Edge of Venomverse tie-ins are bound to get fans pumped. Alongside the release of Venomverse #1, there’ll also be an anthology comic called Venomverse: War Stories, including a venomized Punisher issue written and drawn by Declan Shalvey.

>The creative team believes this is a story bigger than just Brock’s past. “Eddie’s not a hero, but he is the Venom that’s most needed at this moment. This story will show why he’s the best Venom that there is,” Bunn said. With an event book, it’s easy to imagine that it’ll all be about the action. But Devin Lewis assured us that Venomverse is so much more. “The story that Cullen’s managed to craft here is absolutely terrific. As much as it’s about the symbiotes and the Poisons, it’s also about identity and trust. Cullen’s managed to make this an epic story in scope and an intimate story in regards to character.”

>Venomverse #1 hits stores the first week of September, but you can pick up Edge of Venomverse #1 in your local comic shop on June 28th. It’s clear that for Bunn and Lewis, this is one of the most exciting books they’ve ever worked on. “To be involved in something so epic in scale, it’s an opportunity I wouldn’t have passed up in a million years,” Bunn said. Lewis implored that “Venomverse really is one of the most rewarding stories I’ve ever read as a Venom fan.”

>Though he may have been symbiote-less, Eddie Brock has been back in the vicinity of Venom for a while now. A recurring character in 2012’s Venom: The Savage Six storyline, which starred Flash Thompson as the titular terror, he returned in 2015’s Carnage, a blood-soaked cross country road trip starring Marvel’s second symbiotic psychopath. With the end of Venom: Space Knight, the editorial team saw an exciting moment to bring Venom back down to earth. Literally. “There was an opportunity we saw, not only to put Venom back on Earth, but also to re-centralize him as a Spider-Man villain,” explained Devin Lewis.

So they know what Eddie's been up to for the last few years. They just decided it would be better for him to be obsessed with the symbiote and lose faith in God.

>>92823690

>>92823137
>no Anti-Venom
>but there is Mayhem
I'm conflicted.

Hope Venom from the Spider-Mangaverse is in it, he was a cool guy.

anyone else find it weird marvel has their own staple of exclusive writers but keep hiring cullen bunn, who isn't one, to do two of their big events this year?

>>92823254
>This story will show why he’s the best Venom that there is
Fuck no. Eddie was boring, the Symbiote was the only thing that made him interesting.
Flash is still the best Venom, because I actually cared about Flash.

>>92823186
Sinestro and Magneto were great. Xmen blue and uncanny also good.

>>92824831
It's just that Cullen Bunn is the Mike Deodato of writers, when it comes to the speed of shitting out new scripts.

>>92823137
>>92824709

Conflicted, too. No Anti-Venom, but there's King-Venom (or Venom-Pin or Pin-Venom), Poison, Ultimate Venom, and Madness Venom. Why the fuck Angelo-Venom is there, I have not a clue. I'm not sure who the Venom is with the blue skull is, though.

>>92823137
Can they give Flash Thompson a new Symbiote that he can keep please?

>>92823137
Wait, is that Mangaverse Venom in the back right? Never thought I'd see him again.

>>92823186
I dug his Magneto run. And his Indie stuff tends to be decent.

>>92823650
They said it in that last sentence. They wanted to make Venom a villain again. They tried with Lee, but everyone was clamoring for Brock, but they couldn't think of a way to justify Brock becoming a villain again so they just slid him right back to his old status quo.

Mangaverse Venom. In the Mangaverse, the Spiders were basically a clan of ninjas and the Symbiotes were a clan of evil samurai if I remember right.

It was actually pretty good all things considered.

>>92824726
Look at the cover in the OP. He's there.

And to think Marvel told Remender to kill off the symbiotes

>>No Toxin
>>No Scorn
Then again, no Carnage

>>92826153
I'm sure Carnage will at least get a mention. I'm wondering if this is supposed to be more specifically Venom focused rather than Symbiotes in general, so maybe the others will get ignored in favor of just a bunch of AU Venoms.

>>92826131
That was when they were in the Agent Venom mindset. Make every symbiote a gun toting, armor wearing, killing machine (Carnage, Hybrid, Toxin) and kill off everything else we don't need. Once they realized people only liked Agent Venom because Remender was writing it, seeing how Bunn's run tanked, no one liked Space Knight, and Carnage was selling remarkably well in comparison, they realized people actually liked symbiotes as they were and are trying to back pedal with bringing back Brock and Venomverse.

Why do people like Eddie? He fucking sucks, the Symbiote was literally the only thing that made him interesting.

I don't know but my Idea of Venom and the symbiotes just make them too limited I guess.
Wolverine should not be able to keep a symbiote since his healing factor was able to even kill a Brood embryo.

Hulk should be deadly to one. Ghost Rider and other mystic beings shouldn't even be able to have one.

I guess that's why I'm not a writer

>>92827254

>>Goes after Peter and his loved ones.
>>If plan fails, try again.

He doesn't do any grand schemes or complicated goals. He's just an asshole.

>>92827408
I get it's Multiverse, but I felt that Spider-Verse got away with it because there were so many Spider-Men from across the Marvel landscape. This Venom one feels like they just take each character at every costume change. It's like making a Jean Grey-Verse and using 4 Jean Greys from her O5 debut to now.

>>92827296
Ghost rider is mystic fire. If it bonds to the host when not in rider mode then it's not inconceivable the spirit recognizes it ad a part of its own host and doesn't hurt it

>Be respected reporter investigating Sin-Eater
>A guy called Emil Gregg claims to be the Sin-Eater and you interview him
>You want to verify things first, but your bosses pressure you to publish it
>Turns out Emil was a crazy compulsive confessor that even fooled the cops, mostly because he dressed up like the Sin-Eater and tried to kill Jameson, can't really blame them
>Spider-Man catches and arrests the real Sin-Eater, who turns out to be Emil's neighbor
>Because this is a fictional universe and not the real world, Eddie Brock gets fired in disgrace
>Apparently only tabloids will hire him now, and his wife divorces him
>Eddie doesn't blame his bosses for firing him for stupid reasons
>Eddie doesn't blame Emil Gregg for giving him the bogus story in the first place
>Eddie doesn't blame Stanley Carter, the real Sin-Eater
>Eddie blames Spider-Man, the man who caught the real Sin-Eater, because according to him if he hadn't done it Stanley would have just stopped killing people and nobody would have ever discovered the truth (unlikley, Carter was insane and Dardevil was also on the case). Because of this he thinks that Spider-Man is EVIL.

And no, "he's crazy" doesn't justify this.

>>92827411
I mean hey that's your opinion. There was an entire story time dedicated to his growth as a character, but that's on you if you even care enough to read.

>>92827592
Venom wasn't ever supposed to be anything more than another Spidey villain, which is why it's lame. You could also argue how Flash is a simplified cliche of a bully and has no depth at all, but you'd be wrong as both characters had more than 2 stories and outgrew those traits.

It's nice to have some villains who are just petty dickheads.

>>92828767
Difference is that those guys know that they're evil petty dickheads, they just don't care. Eddie on the other hand deludes himself into thinking he's a good guy that protects the innocent and that Spider-Man isn't innocent because he dared catch a serial killer.

Later it turns out Emil Gregg really was sin eater in the carnage axis mini, so Brock was always right.

You also left out how him losing the one claim to fame he had invalidated him in his father's already poor view of him, and his wife left him because shit got too real for him.
>>92827661
He started that way, sure, but they tried to give him character development back during the san fran. They always ruin it though.
>>92828055
Normaly he stops blaming other for his problems, he questions his faith in god, figures out just how much of the murders were him and how much was the symbiote. Unfortunately people are stupid and only want Venom as THE BIG BAD SPIDERMAN BAD GUY and haven't read a shred of his appearances, or only know him from MVC and that one ultimate spidey game, like Mike Costa.

So we get an endless stream of idiots trying to reinvent the wheel to make thier version of Eddie and Venom the best, instead of building on what there was.

>>92831343
>Later it turns out Emil Gregg really was sin eater in the carnage axis mini, so Brock was always right.
No, Emil Gregg became even crazier after getting possessed by a demon and took on the mantle of Sin-Eater. That doesn't mean he was the Sin-Eater at the time of Brock's reporting. He didn't kill Jean DeWolfe.
Stanley Carter was the Sin-Eater, this is an indisputable fact was just his crazy neighbour that confused Cater's ramblings with voices in his head.

And I left that out because it was irrelevant, it doesn't change the fact that Eddie was blaming the wrong guy when there's plenty of other people he could have blamed instead.

The picture in the poster could be either of them, it has elbow spikes like the second ultimate Venom, but the head and hunch looks more similar to Kingpin Venom, and the head looks nothing like Ultimate Venom.

Ultimate Venom 2 looks completely different though. Kingpin Venom has the same build, face, and some armor like in the banner.

>>92827592
A lot of the villains with personal vendettas against Spider-Man don't make sense. I think another anon said this in some other thread but Harry blames Peter for killing his dad even though he knows his dad was a supervillain and that his father impaled himself. Norman blames Peter for Harry's death even though Harry died because of an overdose (this was pre-retcon). I don't know, man. Spider-Man villains are shitty. Even now, Black Cat blames Spidey for all that shit that Spock did and uses that as an excuse to become full supervillain.

The end. There's four more but there just young X23 escaping, no Venom.

>>92832659
The greatest Venom of our time, clearly.

>>92832698
No, there's the Spider-Girl universe as well, and Earth X.

>>92832808
Then how we know from which of those is where this married Spidey comes???

...because it's specifically the Renew your vows MJ from the upcoming arc

Magneto was genuinely good, I don't think they need another summer event though, just give him his own series.

Ah, cool. Not a bad design, either way.

Now Mania will probably be okay because her daddy Bunn will be writing this but still

>>92834937
And yes I am aware that Mania, Mayhem, and Earth X Venom are on the poster.

>>92833033
Because at the end of that story, it said "to learn more about this Spider-man, check out this summer's Amazing Spider-man: Renew Your Vows."

God, that was so contrived.

>>92823137
At least Bunn on it instead of Costa

>>92835162
Ooooohhh, ok that's a perfect answer, thank you very much, has been mentioned the Spiderverse on some of the RYV issues??? I mean meet a lot of versions of you seems like something you could discuss with your lovely wife and cute daughter.

>>92835164
>God, that was so contrived.
And made zero fucking sense. Especially when the symbiote can just read Brock's memories and see that the plan wasn't even Spider-Man's.

>>92835839
It makes even lesss sense when the symbiote wants to fucking kill everything right after that. Hating Spider-man and acting like a child shouldn't make it want to murder for fun after hating murder and hating being with Mike cost-er I mean Lee Price for so long.

It gets on Eddie, and Eddie is like "why the fuck are you making me kill people, what the fuck did you do MY LOVE" and then it goes on like that until I have an aneurysm.

>>92832731
And he disappeared in a puff of logic

I'll never forgive him for killing off my symbiofu.

>>92836254
Well, Donna is dead. But the symbiote might still be alive, just like when Brock tried to kill Hybrid, but the Hybrid-symbiotes survived.

>>92832659
Friendship with Flash is over New best friend Brock

>>92836013

Pretty much.

>>92828260
>>92835164
>>92835839
What happened to make the symbiote hate Peter again? And in what issue?

>>92837764
Venom #6.

Eddie comes up with a plan to have Spidey ask Venom to come back and bond with him, but as it leaves Lee to get with Spider-Man, it gets trapped by the authorities, as planned by Eddie and Spidey. It is then consumed by hatred of Spider-Man for some reason, even though this has happened before and Venom knew he tends to do this.

>>92837936
Parker luck strikes again.

>>92838033
Synonym for bad writing in this case?

>>92835839
>And made zero fucking sense. Especially when the symbiote can just read Brock's memories and see that the plan wasn't even Spider-Man's.
But the symbiote also hated being with Lee, at the end of the day why would it be mad at Eddie, a host it enjoyed being with in the past, for forming a plan to be separating it from a host it absolutely hated?
>>92836013
>It makes even lesss sense when the symbiote wants to fucking kill everything right after that.
This is what ACTUALLY makes no sense about the story

>>92838033
Peter's actions were completely warranted, though. He didn't know Lee was in control and just watched a symbiote imbued do fuck a helicopter up, causing a huge explosion and having "Venom" slug him in the face.

Just like in Spaceknight, the symbiote should have been 100% understanding and, after captured, should have stopped and explained the situation to Peter. Instead of throwing a temper tantrum and literally screaming "I HATE YOU!"

But I guess that's what happens when someone comes in contact with Lee Price's unbeatable magic army ranger abilities.

>>92838187
>why would it be mad at Eddie, a host it enjoyed being with in the past, for forming a plan to be separating it from a host it absolutely hated?
Because it hates Spider-Man for tricking him with the plan, even though Eddie came up with the whole thing.

>>92838187
>But the symbiote also hated being with Lee, at the end of the day why would it be mad at Eddie, a host it enjoyed being with in the past, for forming a plan to be separating it from a host it absolutely hated?

So then shouldn't it, you know, not hate Spider-Man? Since, after all, Spidey was just going along with Brock's plan to save the symbiote.

>>92838364
>Because it hates Spider-Man for tricking him with the plan, even though Eddie came up with the whole thing.
It has always hated Spider-Man for rejecting it in the first place, and always rejecting it. It loved Eddie for embracing it.
>>92838665
Hates Spider-Man for rejecting it

>>92838878
But it's already previously reconciled with Spider-Man.

It doesn't even remember that. Its memory was wiped in Bendis' run, when it was "cleansed", remember?

It shouldn't even remember who Brock is, for that matter.

Even ignoring that, the symbiote and Peter made peace at the end of Spaceknight. You don't recall that happening?

>>92838997
>Even ignoring that, the symbiote and Peter made peace at the end of Spaceknight. You don't recall that happening?
Honestly no, I couldn't be bothered to hold my lunch long enough to read that blashphemy so I guess I'm wrong but that's honestly fucking retarded like everything Spaceknight did

>>92839081
>like everything Spaceknight did
I mean, don't get me wrong, Spaceknight wasn't the best thing ever... but that's a shit opinion. There was some good stuff in Spaceknight.

>>92839128
>There was some good stuff in Spaceknight.
Like what? Like I said, I never fully read it. So tell me what good stuff it did in terms of continuing the symbiote story.

>>92823186
He's alright.

>>92839512
His Venom run was pretty good. Best recent Brock (and best version of Brock!Toxin).

It further developed Flash and the symbiotes relationship, and brought back Mania, not to mention actually developing the symbiote's character.

>>92839743
Developed the symbiote through being brainwashed, it wasn't natural character growth. It was nice, but it was forced. Rage is what Venom is.

And that was the entire point, it was regressing back into rage as Flash tried to desperately stop his friend from going back down a dark path.

>>92823830
I thought an event had to be line wide, for example, over in DC, Monster Men and The Button weren't events, just crossovers.

>>92840173
Events can be isolated to one title. They specify. This is not a line wide event, obviously. But it's still an event.

I promised myself I wouldn't buy any Marvel books this year...

Anyone else playing Spider-Man Unlimited? They've been doing a whole Venom-Verse styled storyline for the past few months now.
