vMarvel is gearing up for its Summer of Symbiotes by revealing all-new details and titles that will join the Venom-themed event. Summer of Symbiotes is in celebration of Venom's 35th anniversary, who has moved on from terrorizing Spider-Man to becoming its very own franchise. Eddie Brock and Venom headlined the King in Black event, and Carnage and Red Goblin even have their own ongoing series. In a tease for what Summer of Symbiotes has planned, Marvel released a promotional image by Phillip Tan, Scott Williams, and Brad Anderson that pays homage to Jim Lee, Scott Williams, and Joe Rosas' poolside pinup from 1991's X-Men #1. 

Naturally, all our favorite Venomverse characters are on display. We have the variant version of Felicia Hardy/Black Cat that's going to debut in Extreme Venomverse, Liz Allen's Misery, Red Goblin, Carnage, Eddie Brock, and more. The complete list of titles participating in Summer of Symbiotes includes Venom, Carnage, Extreme Venomverse, Red Goblin, Carnage Reigns, Cult of Carnage: Misery, an Edge of Venomverse Infinity Comic on Marvel Unlimited, and Death of Venomverse
