Venom #257

Venom #257 charges into the penultimate chapter of "Death Spiral" with a cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Lorenzo Ruggiero that crackles with tension — a black-and-gold symbiote-suited figure hurtles through a storm of lightning bolts while a white-costumed opponent spirals below, and a ring of intense, watchful faces crowd the background like a jury waiting on a verdict. With Charles Soule writing and Javier Pina on art, this nine-part saga has been building toward something, and part eight suggests the pressure is finally reaching its breaking point.
