Venom War #3

Venom towers menacingly over a chaotic scene on this striking cover from Iban Coello and Frank D'Armata — tongue lashing, claws spread wide, symbiote tendrils radiating outward as Spider-Man, a muscular brawler, and a blonde woman struggle against the darkness closing in around them. It's a genuinely arresting image that captures the mounting stakes of this five-part series from writer Al Ewing. Issue three of Venom War promises that the title's ominous subtitle — "Say Hello to the Bad Guy" — is more than just a tease.
