Marvel Comics Spins a Dark Web Across Dimensions this September with VENOMVERSE!
Venom, the Lethal Protector, defends the multiverse in an all-new series this fall
New York, NY—May 31, 2017—The tendrils of the symbiote are about to ensnare the entire multiverse to combat an all-new foe that has Venom terrified for his very existence. This September, Cullen Bunn (X-Men Blue, Darth Maul) and Iban Coello (Venom, Deadpool & The Mercs for Money) craft the epic VENOMVERSE!
On a routine battle Venom finds himself transported to a far-off world and learns a terrible truth – a deadly new species has emerged from the vastness of space, and to make matters worse, they’re hunting Venoms! Trapped on the planet’s surface with a ragtag band of Venomized heroes, Eddie has no choice but to mount a counteroffensive and hope to find a way home!
What is the new apex predator species called the Poisons and what is their terrifying connection with the Venom symbiote?
The Poisons have now enacted a plan to consume and feed across universes and Venom is first on the menu. “When a Poison attacks a symbiote, they form an unstoppable one-sided union that the Venom wants no part of,” said series writer Cullen Bunn. “And in order to find as many suitable symbiotes as possible, they are making their way across the multiverse in a quest for insatiable power.”
Beginning this September VENOMVERSE ensnares the entire Marvel Universe! And be sure to pick up the essential Edge of Venomverse – a bombastic new 6-issue series featuring your favorite characters and creators as they prepare for VENOMVERSE this September available wherever Marvel Comics are sold!

There’s a Spider-Man meme that sums up my opinion on this, but it’s slightly NSFW. Yeah, I know BD posted it in a video, but I’m playing it safe. You KNOW which one I mean. They fall from the sky.
Honestly, I’m really excited for this. I love symbiotes, and I loved the concept of Spider-verse, so this should be right up my alley, especially since I don’t have to worry about the dumb vampire family dragging it down.
Plus, it’s being written by Cullen Bunn, and he’s proven he can write a good Eddie, Flash, and he created Mania.
Speaking of Mania, it’s really awesome seeing some of my favorite alternate Venoms like Mayday, Mayhem, and Mania.

that’s MJ Venom from Renew your vows
I assume the redhead’s Julia Carpenter, but man does Marvel have her hair color all over the place.
I really don’t like this idea. Maybe it’s the line “…they’re hunting Venoms!” that rubs me the wrong way. Unless these are all Eddie Brocks from other dimensions, I don’t think “Venoms” is the the right word. Shouldn’t it read “symbiotes” instead? I can understand not using the word Klyntar for clarity’s sake, but “Venoms” sounds wrong.
I cannot help but think that someone in marketing thought, “People like Venom, right? Let’s just makes lots and lots of ’em!” I guess the stake that all the heroes have in this event — and what perhaps justifies their willingness to bond with symbiotes — is that the so-called Poisons have their sights set on the entire multiverse, but it just sounds like a gimmick to me. I hate to sound cynical, but the thought crossed my mind.
Isn’t this just Bunn trying to do a better job at Edge of Spiderverse?
