Marvel sheds light on ‘Venom War’ launching August 2024

Marvel Comics has teased a war is coming for Venom, and now we know it’s coming in the form of a four-issue series called Venom War. Written by Al Ewing with art by Iban Coello, the series follows Eddie Brock and his son, Dylan, on separate journeys as the symbiote heroes.

“This is what we’ve been building to since the start of this wild and way-out symbiote odyssey – the fateful confrontation between father and son!” Ewing explained. “Where better to have it than inside the squared circle? And who better to bring this all-action epic to the page with than my old buddy Iban Coello? I’m tellin’ ya, goo believer — this is vehemently varied Venom violence like never viewed, and only one host can wear the symbiote when the dust settles! Who’s it gonna be?”
