“Shiver Part One”

Kicking off the "Shiver" arc, this 2003 Marvel series launches with a striking Sam Kieth cover that pulls you straight into Venom's world — the symbiote's massive, fang-filled maw dominates the composition, with wild crimson tendrils coiling dramatically around the figure against a deep black void. Writer Daniel Way teams with artist Francisco Herrera and inker Carlos Cuevas to bring this new chapter to life, and the raw, visceral energy of Kieth's cover art sets an appropriately unsettling tone for whatever lurks within.
