Venom #5

The fifth and final chapter of "Shiver" arrives with a cover by Sam Kieth that makes an immediate, visceral impression — Venom's massive maw fills nearly the entire frame, rows of dripping teeth and a slathering tongue rendered in moody purples and grays that feel genuinely unsettling. Shadowy, indistinct figures lurk in the darkness behind that gaping jaw, reinforcing the sense that something cornered and dangerous is about to strike. Daniel Way, Francisco Herrera, and Carlos Cuevas bring this opening arc to its conclusion, and Kieth's cover sets the tension perfectly.
