Black Widow: Venomous #1

Natasha Romanoff takes center stage on this striking cover by Leirix, her red hair whipping wildly as dark symbiote tendrils coil around her black-and-red suit while she launches forward with fierce, open-mouthed intensity against a rain-soaked cityscape. The fusion of Black Widow's signature spider-web aesthetic with the writhing, organic darkness of a Venom-like symbiote makes for a visually arresting combination. Writer Erica Schultz and artist Luciano Vecchio, with colors by David Curiel and Rachelle Rosenberg, bring this 2024 one-shot to life — and the cover alone makes a compelling case for picking it up.
