About the series
In 2008, Marvel and writer Zeb Wells took readers back to the beginning with Venom: Dark Origin, a five-issue miniseries that re-examined the classic origin of Eddie Brock and his symbiotic bond with Venom. Illustrated by Angel Medina, this story reframes the familiar tragedy of a disgraced journalist and the alien costume that drove him to hate Spider-Man, weaving in unexpected encounters with the Thing for a fresh, darker take on a fan-favorite villain's genesis. It's a focused, character-driven exploration of how anger and desperation can forge a monster.
