Venomized

In 2018, Marvel unleashed Venomized, a five-issue event series that saw the Poisons—a terrifying alien species that consumes symbiotes and their hosts—invade the Marvel Universe. Artist Nick Bradshaw brought a sleek, monstrous energy to the story, which escalated the symbiote mythology by pitting heroes like the Venom and the Avengers against a threat that could absorb their powers entirely. This series matters as a key chapter in the symbiote saga, expanding the cosmic horror of the Venom mythos while tying into the larger Venom Inc. and Poison X narratives.
