FIRST LOOK: Marvel are bringing us the Venomverse

June 3rd, 2017 by Marc Comments

Prepare to be VENOMIZED this June, when one of the most sinister symbiotes unleashes its deadly bonds on the Marvel Universe.

That’s right, True Believers – Eddie Brock is BACK! And this time, he’s not the only Venom wreaking havoc. Before you dive into the upcoming blockbuster series that is VENOMVERSE, join venomized versions of fan-favorite characters in EDGE OF VENOMVERSE, a blockbuster 5-issue series that is sure to ensnare you in its clutches!

In the introduction to what promises to be one of Marvel’s most exciting series yet, superstar writer Matthew Rosenberg (Secret Warriors) and acclaimed artist Roland Boschi (Karnak, Ghost Rider) bring you the story of young mutant clone X-23…who gets more than she bargains for when she collides with an alien symbiote that affects her already enhanced abilities!

“We are showing a world where X-23 manages to escape from her creators with the help of Venom,” said series writer Matthew Rosenberg. “It’s a fun chance to explore two of Marvel’s most dangerous characters and see how things could have been different for them if their lives intersected. And if you are a fan of X-23’s early adventures, you’ll be happy to see some familiar, but slightly different faces in the book.”

X-23’s story is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to characters who will be seeing themselves caught in Venom’s hold. You wouldn’t want to get caught in Venom’s clutches – so don’t get caught without EDGE OF VENOMVERSE #1, available in comic shops June 28th!

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
