Venom #165

The Nativity" reaches Part Two with a cover that means business — a battered, bloodied Eddie Brock in his Venom suit crouches defiantly atop what appears to be a massive, fleshy creature, its enormous maw of jagged teeth looming ominously above him while fiery red energy swirls in the background. Ryan Stegman's linework captures both the raw physicality of the symbiote host and the sheer scale of the threat surrounding him, making this 2018 issue feel genuinely tense before you've even opened the cover.
