Extreme Venomverse #5

A Venom-symbiote kaiju looms over a burning cityscape while a symbiote-masked figure in a baseball uniform squares off in the foreground — and yes, that's Jeff the Land Shark charging right alongside them. Leinil Francis Yu's cover for this fifth installment of Extreme Venomverse balances gleeful absurdity with genuine menace, perfectly capturing the anthology's anything-goes spirit. With a murderers' row of 2023 Marvel talent including Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru contributing to this issue, there's plenty of symbiote-fueled storytelling waiting inside.
