About the series
Marvel’s 2017 Venom series, a four-issue miniseries written by Mike Costa, finds the iconic symbiote in a new, more menacing light as it bonds with an unsuspecting host in San Francisco. With art by Gerardo Sandoval, Mark Bagley, and Ryan Stegman, the story strips Venom back to its monstrous roots, exploring the creature’s primal instincts and its uneasy relationship with humanity. This concise run serves as a pivotal reset for the character ahead of later, longer-form stories.
