With Donny Cates having wrapped up his work on this property and heading over to Hulk this fall, Marvel Comics has set a new team up to launch a new Venom Series. With launch details still to be set, the new book comes from writers Al Ewing, and Ram V as they take over the adventures of Venom — bringing their approach that made Immortal Hulk a smash hit. The pair will be working with legendary artist Bryan Hitch who has Andrew Currie on board to ink his work and Alex Sinclair to color it.
“When my editors at Marvel reached out about taking on Venom alongside Al Ewing and Bryan Hitch, I was not prepared for the kind of creative thrill it has been ever since,” Ram V said. “This story is going to expand and push the symbiote narrative and lore in even more unexpected and fantastic directions. It is also an utter thrill having the sort of call and response mechanic I’ve had with a writer like Al and an artist of Bryan’s caliber. Fans and new readers, strap in— you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”
According to Marvel, fans can get their first glimpse at what’s in store in this year’s Free Comic Book Day title, FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2021: SPIDER-MAN/VENOM, available at participating comics shops on August 14th.
