Venom #17 (182)

In Venom #17 (2019), Carnage's brutal hunt for every symbiote host escalates as Venom and Spider-Man race to save Norman Osborn. With Maker on the verge of testing a machine to extract the codex from a past host, the Life Foundation Symbiotes storm the facility—just as a surprising new ally steps forward to aid Dylan. Written by Donny Cates and illustrated by Iban Coello, with colors by Rain Beredo and letters by Clayton Cowles, this issue blends high-stakes tension with unexpected turns, all capped by a striking cover by Kyle Hotz.
