All-New Venom Series Set to Launch in December 2024
Marvel Comics is gearing up to introduce a fresh chapter in the Venom saga with the upcoming All-New Venom series. Slated for release in December 2024, this series promises to bring a host of surprises, including a new human host for the infamous symbiote. Writer Al Ewing and artist Carlos Gómez helm the series, aiming to take Venom in an exciting direction.
A New Host, A New Mystery
The All-New Venom series picks up after a fierce battle between Eddie Brock and his son, Dylan. As the dust settles, the Venom symbiote seeks a new host, but the identity remains a mystery. Dylan, closely tied to the symbiote’s fate, must now play detective to uncover who has bonded with the alien entity.
The first story arc introduces four potential suspects: Robbie Robertson, Madame Masque, Rick Jones, and Luke Cage. Each character brings unique motivations and history, making them all plausible candidates. Ewing’s story delves into New York City’s darker corners, with Dylan navigating the city’s underbelly in search of answers.
A Fresh Take on the Venom Mythos
Al Ewing, known for his work on Immortal Hulk, takes on Venom for the first time in a solo series. He has shared that this series will have a lighter tone compared to previous Venom stories. “It’s almost more like a Spider-Man-level story,” Ewing explained, signaling a shift towards a more street-level narrative.
Carlos Gómez, the artist, brings a dynamic and detailed style that complements Ewing’s vision. Together, they explore new facets of Venom while staying true to the symbiote’s dark and unpredictable nature.
Setting the Stage in New York City
The All-New Venom series is rooted in the gritty streets of New York City. Ewing emphasizes that the locations featured in the comic are real or closely based on actual places. “Everywhere we go in the story is a place you could go, or at least the type of place you could go,” Ewing noted, adding authenticity to the narrative.
This focus on real-world settings contrasts with the cosmic elements prominent in previous Venom stories. By grounding the story in familiar locations, Ewing and Gómez aim to create a more relatable experience.
Anticipation Builds for December Release
As the December 2024 release date approaches, excitement is building. Fans are eager to see who will become the new host for the Venom symbiote. With its intriguing premise, strong creative team, and a mix of old and new elements, All-New Venom is poised to be a standout addition to Marvel’s lineup.
The mystery, the fresh take on a beloved character, and the return to a more grounded setting all promise to make this series a must-read. Fans of Venom, as well as newcomers, will find plenty to enjoy in this thrilling chapter.
