WHO IS THE ALL-NEW VENOM? The smiling, swashbuckling spider-hero New York loves to hate to love is back — and more fun-loving than ever! That’s right, it’s… Wait, it’s VENOM?! An all-new host is taking the symbiote in a whole new direction — but who? It could be the Journalist… the Terrorist… the Sidekick… or even the Mayor… We’re giving you all the clues, good believers — but you won’t know until the mask comes off! Writer Al Ewing (VENOM, IMMORTAL THOR) takes Venom in a completely new direction with artist Carlos Gómez (FANTASTIC FOUR, THE AMAZING MARY JANE) bringing the story to gorgeous life!
If you’re looking for something fresh in the Marvel lineup, All-New Venom #1 is worth checking out. Al Ewing shifts gears with a lighter, more playful tone, while Carlos Gómez’s art brings energy to every panel. This isn’t your usual Venom story—there’s a quirky mystery at its core, teasing us with multiple candidates for the symbiote’s new host. Is it Rick Jones? Luke Cage? Someone totally unexpected?
I loved how the issue balances fun and intrigue without taking itself too seriously. After a lot of weighty arcs in Venom’s recent history, this lighter tone feels like a breath of fresh air. The art stands out, too—Gómez’s clean and dynamic style fits the vibe perfectly, adding life to the playful yet suspenseful narrative.
If you’re a fan of clever setups and bold reimaginings, grab this off the New Comic Book Wall or add it to your weekly pull list.
