Venom

A futuristic incarnation of the iconic symbiote villain, this Venom exists in the dystopian world of Marvel's 2099 universe, carrying the recognizable alien-bonded legacy into a far-future setting first presented to French readers via Panini France.

Few characters carry a name with as much instant recognition as Venom, and this particular incarnation — debuting in 2099 #20 in 1995 under the creative hands of Ian Edginton, Nicole Duclos, and Jim Fern — brings that iconic legacy into the Copper/Modern Age with a distinctly futuristic edge. Published through Panini France, this version of Venom has maintained a presence in the catalog stretching across an impressive thirty years, appearing most frequently in Spider-Man, Marvel Classic, and Marvel Rivals. Along the way, they share the page with some of Marvel's heaviest hitters — Spider-Man, Eddie Brock, Peter Parker, Captain America, and Steve Rogers — a roster that signals just how central this character feels to the broader Marvel tapestry. With 35 catalog appearances and a debut issue that already qualifies as a notable collectible, this is a Venom worth tracking down for any fan who loves their symbiote lore with an international flavor.
