“Part One: Turning On the Heat”

Venom swings in with teeth bared and symbiote tendrils lashing, while a grimly determined Punisher drops into frame armed and ready — all set against a striking prismatic foil background that gives this 1993 opener an unmistakable visual punch. Tom Lyle handles both pencils and inks on the cover, delivering two of Marvel's most intense antiheroes sharing the same charged space with real tension. "Part One: Turning On the Heat" promises exactly the kind of combustible team-up the cover telegraphs, making this a satisfying first issue to have on your shelf.
