Venom: The Mace #1

Part one of a three-issue limited series, Venom: The Mace opens in 1994 with a cover by Liam Sharp that crackles with raw energy — Venom lunges forward with jaws wide and symbiote tendrils splaying outward, while a caped, armor-clad figure wielding a heavy mace-like weapon holds a fallen person in his grip below. Sharp's linework gives every muscle and fang a visceral weight, setting a tone that feels genuinely dangerous before you've turned a single page. With Carl Potts writing and Sharp handling both pencils and inks inside, this is a tightly assembled creative team ready to deliver on that confrontational promise.
