Edge of Venomverse is inspired by the popular Venomized variants that launched in March 2017. The series of variant covers reimagined Marvel’s most popular and iconic characters as they’d appear after bonding with a Venom symbiote.

Edge of Venomverse will lead into a major Venom events that Marvel has in the planning for 2017.

The first hints at Marvel’s big plans for Venom in 2017 come out of the newly launched Venom series. While that series launched with a brand new Venom host, the amoral Lee Pace, Marvel quickly began teasing the return of the original Venom, Eddie Brock, in Venom #6. That all leads into a Venom host reunion and return to legacy numbering in Venom #150.
