Venom by Rick Remender #1

Venom crouches in full predatory menace on this 2011 Marvel collection, rendered by Joe Quesada with inks by Danny Miki — the symbiote's massive claws, whipping tongue, and billowing black-and-red form filling every inch of the cover with raw, coiled energy. Rick Remender's run brought a fresh direction to the character, and this volume collects that work alongside contributions from Moore and Fowler. It's a handsome package for anyone who wants their Venom served at its most ferociously striking.
