At the 2023 Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2), Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski and VENOM editor Devin Lewis joined forces with comic creators David Pepose, Sabir Pirzada, and Zeb Wells to reveal the upcoming developments for Spider-Man and the symbiotic family tree in the Marvel Universe.
Fans can look forward to the “Summer of Symbiotes,” a series of stories celebrating Venom’s 35th anniversary. Starting in May, titles like CULT OF CARNAGE: MISERY, EXTREME VENOMVERSE, CARNAGE REIGNS, and more will be launched.
WEB OF CARNAGE by Ram V and Francesco Manna features Carnage seeking to inherit the Earth after Cletus Kasady’s vengeance.
In the aftermath of CARNAGE REIGNS where Cletus Kasady exacted his vengeance on Miles Morales and the Marvel Universe, the Carnage symbiote remains left to its own devices, adrift among the stars. With its purpose renewed, Carnage has scant few hurdles between it and a glorious ascension to the throne of the King in Black…and the first is named Morlun.
RED GOBLIN #6 by Alex Paknadel and Jan Bazaldua begins the “Nature Vs. Nuture” arc.
For weeks, Normie’s pacified the symbiote and managed to keep the rabid killing machine inside it under control. But in this issue, Normie learns that you can’t fight nature…
CULT OF CARNAGE: MISERY by Sabir Pirzada and Francesco Mortarino introduces the symbiotic monster Madness.
The new symbiotic monstrosity called Madness inadvertently forced Liz Allan to bond to the all-new MISERY symbiote, changing both her life and the future of symbitoes! Imbued with all the powers and personalities of the LIFE FOUNDATION SYMBIOTES (and more!), Madness is a symbiotic force unlike any other in the Marvel Universe. There is nowhere that Liz Allan can go that Madness cannot follow, no one she can ask for help that Madness cannot destroy, and nothing she can do to stop the brutality of its onslaught.
VENOM #22 by Al Ewing and Ramon F. Bachs showcases Eddie Brock’s transformation, while VENOM #23 by Torunn Grønbekk and Ken Lashley presents a new vision of TOXIN.
For months, Eddie Brock’s consciousness has been displaced in time! You’ve seen what happens when he’s flung himself to the far future of the Marvel Universe – now see what happens when he tries to traverse its past! Face to face with the mysterious FLEXO in the past, Venom learns a shocking secret about the role symbiotes playing in Marvel history!
Toxin is the offspring of the most dangerous symbiote in the history of the Marvel Universe: CARNAGE. But while Carnage and Cletus Kasady are separated and both devising machinations and plans of cosmic bloodshed and conquest, what has its progeny been doing? And will Dylan Brock or the Venom symbiote survive when they come face to face with this latest terrifying Toxin?! And Toxin isn’t the only symbiote in this story who’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen! The symbiote family is about to grow a little larger… and what’s coming will change the continuing saga of the symbiotes FOREVER!
EDGE OF VENOMVERSE UNLIMITED INFINITY COMIC series by Clay McLeod Chapman will also be available on Marvel Unlimited.
A new Venom has been unleashed upon an unsuspecting world in this saga by writer Clay McLeod Chapman and an exciting lineup of artists including Phillip Sevy, Gustavo Duarte, Dax Gordine, and Nathan Stockman. On a freezing, snow-covered night a Holy Man comes to the aid of a mother and father terrified to kiss their little girl goodnight. Will he offer salvation or the ultimate destruction?
Lastly, the limited series THE DEATH OF THE VENOMVERSE, spinning out of EXTREME VENOMVERSE, is set to bring more symbiote shakeups, with Cullen Bunn and Gerardo Sandoval reuniting to tell this epic story.
