Venom War Preview Teases Showdown Against Spider-Man

Marvel is setting the stage for an epic confrontation between Spider-Man and Venom. The latest major crossover event sweeping through the Marvel Universe is Venom War, which centers on the father-son duo of Eddie Brock and Dylan Brock. Both Eddie and Dylan have served as hosts for the Venom symbiote and have seen terrifying futures for which they hold responsibility. Venom War has already delivered numerous twists, the most significant being the reuniting of Spider-Man with the Venom symbiote. Fans will soon see how Eddie Brock reacts to Spider-Man donning the black suit once again.

Marvel has released a preview for Venom War #2 by Al Ewing, Iban Coello, Frank D’Armata, and VC’s Ariana Maher. The preview begins with Liz Allan’s Misery entering the scene following a Zombiote explosion at the Alchemax building, a disaster caused by Eddie Brock’s villainous future self, Meridius. Though clad in a sharp business suit, Meridius’s intentions are far from honorable. Meanwhile, Spider-Man appears in the iconic black suit, attempting to mediate a truce between Eddie and Dylan, conveniently set in a wrestling ring.

When Spider-Man insists on being called by his superhero moniker, Eddie Brock fires back by questioning why Spider-Man is wearing his symbiote. “Why are you wearing my symbiote, Spider-Man?” Eddie asks as the preview for Venom War #2 concludes.

What is Venom War #2 about?

THE VENOM WAR RAGES ON! Eddie and Dylan Brock are locked in a brutal struggle to determine who the true Venom is. Adding to the chaos is THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, joining the fray.
