Phage

Fresh out of 2024's symbiote-soaked chaos, Phage burst onto the scene in writer Sabir Pirzada and artist Luca Maresca's Venom War: Lethal Protectors — a Modern Age debut right in the thick of Marvel's sprawling Venom War event. With only a handful of appearances so far, this is a character at the very beginning of their story, sharing pages with a compelling cast that includes Puma, Tarantula, and Dominic Fortune III. Early days and a small-but-growing footprint make Phage exactly the kind of discovery that rewards readers who love getting in on the ground floor.
