Marvel Comics announced Venom co-creator David Michelinie is returning with an all-new tale of the symbiote in Venom: Separation Anxiety.
Joining Michelinie is artist Gerardo Sandoval to whip up a tale of brain-eating Eddie Brock:
In his latest retro Venom series, Michelinie will pit Eddie against a new foe with the power to alter reality itself—PURPLE MAN! When the iconic villain uses his terrifying mind control powers to torment Eddie and steal his symbiote for himself, everyone’s favorite symbiote slugger may need to ask for unlikely help to get it back AND save his sanity!
LONG LIVE…THE KING IN PURPLE!
“I’m always delighted to write a new Venom story in a retro background,” Michelinie shared in a press release from Marvel Comics. “With ‘Separation Anxiety’ as the required theme, the problem became how to do something that’s already been done—have Eddie Brock separated from his symbiote ‘other.’ So I thought, what if there was a deeply creepy villain with a decidedly bloodthirsty agenda who was able to take bits of Eddie’s symbiote away every time the two touched, with that enemy slowly growing stronger as Venom slowly grew weaker? And that was the nugget that became ‘The King In Purple.’”
Venom: Separation Anxiety #1 (of 5) arrives on May 15, 2024.
