Venom: The Finale #3

Venom fills the cover of this January 1998 Marvel three-parter with jaw-dropping intensity — that massive, dripping maw and enormous white eyes dominating the frame as the symbiote's inky black form surges toward the viewer. The cover's defiant speech bubble, "It ain't over till it's over!", sets the tone perfectly for a concluding chapter titled "What Counts in the End," with Kyle Hotz's cover art capturing every gleaming fang and rippling tendril in visceral detail. A satisfying cap to The Finale miniseries, with interior work from writer Larry Hama and artist Mark Pajarillo rounding out the creative team.
