Marvel Comics is about to wrap up its Venom War crossover event with a major twist: the introduction of a new Venom. Contrary to expectations that either Eddie Brock or Dylan Brock would take up the mantle, the role will go to one of four other Marvel characters. The candidates are Luke Cage, Rick Jones, Robbie Robertson, and Madame Masque, each of whom brings a distinct background and potential to the role of Venom.
Each candidate offers a unique twist to the Venom character. Luke Cage, who is currently serving as the mayor of New York City, could bring a new level of complexity to the role. Rick Jones, known for having various heroic identities over the years, might find a new purpose as Venom.
Robbie Robertson, a key supporting character in Spider-Man’s world, might finally step into the limelight. Madame Masque, with her criminal connections, adds an element of unpredictability. The new Venom costume, designed with gold elements, hints at these possibilities without confirming any single choice.
Al Ewing and Carlos Gómez are set to launch the “All-New Venom” series in December, marking a departure from the cosmic and sci-fi themes of previous Venom stories. Instead, the series will focus on a more grounded, Earth-based setting centered in New York City. This shift aims to bring a new and relatable angle to the Venom story, aligning more closely with traditional superhero narratives.
Dylan Brock will play a key role in investigating the new Venom, shifting the spotlight from his father, Eddie Brock. This change in focus suggests a fresh dynamic within the Venom series and raises questions about Eddie’s role in the future of the story. Fans will need to follow the series to see how these changes unfold and what implications they might have for the characters involved.
The debut issue of “All-New Venom,” featuring a cover by Adam Kubert, is scheduled for release in December. With the mystery of the new Venom’s identity hanging in the balance, the series is expected to captivate Marvel fans and offer a fresh take on the symbiote’s legacy.
