Rumors about the death of the Venomverse were apparently exaggerated, as Marvel has announced a follow-up anthology, Venomverse Reborn, for this summer.
Each issue will feature multiple stories by different creators starring different Venoms from around the multiverse. They’ll also include a framing sequence by Venom writer Al Ewing and Danilo S. Beyruth that will “lay the groundwork for the next symbiote epic.”
“I’m doing the framing sequence for these issues, and that means I get to see every one of these new symbiote sensations hit my inbox before anyone else outside editorial, and that’s definitely a perk of the job,” Ewing said. “As for what’s in that framing story—if you’ve been a fan of some of the more cosmic aspects we’ve brought to Venom of late, you should be more than happy. But the beauty of an anthology series like this is that there’s something to please everyone who dives into our lake of goo.”
The first issue features a cover by Tony Daniel and contributions from Benjamin Percy, Brian Level, Christos Gage and Greg Land:
In VENOMVERSE REBORN #1, Benjamin Percy and Brian Level kick things off with a tale of the murder of the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes by one of their own… but who? Then, Christos Gage drags the Venom from Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 across the Venomverse to take on Knull!
It arrives in stores on June 19.
Then the second issue will feature new stories by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, John McCrea, Adam Warren, ChrisCross and Chris Giarrusso:
In VENOMVERSE REBORN #2, Phillip Kennedy Johnson and John McCrea bring a brutal take on Venom born in the age of Vikings! Then, from Adam Warren and Chris Cross comes the return of the final biological life in his universe, the Venom of Venom: The End! Plus, Chris Giarrusso returns with a tale of Mini-Marvels Venom!
It arrives July 24.
