Venomverse: War Stories #1

Marvel's 2017 Venomverse event expands with this anthology opener, bringing together a roster of talented writers and artists — including Bunn, Shalvey, Okorafor, Visaggio, Covington, Martello, Ford, Arizmendi, Randolph, and more. The cover plunges you right into the chaos, depicting a swarm of symbiote-fused heroes in mid-battle: a black-suited figure lunging from above, a symbiote-armored warrior wielding a firearm, a tiny Ant-Man-scale combatant riding what appears to be an insect, and a glowing symbiote-bonded figure conjuring spectral energy — all while an enormous, tooth-filled Venom maw dominates the lower left corner. With so many creative voices contributing to this war anthology, issue #1 makes a bold promise that the Venomverse conflict is far bigger — and stranger — than any single story could contain.
