Marvel’s Extreme Venomverse #2 is teasing new symbiote heroes and villains being introduced to the universe. This is all part of the publisher’s “Summer of Symbiotes,” which promises an entire season of Symbiote chaos. It is in honor of Venom’s 35th anniversary within the Marvel Universe. This time around, the Black Cat is getting her own Venom supersuit.
Extreme Venomverse #2
Marvel’s Extreme Venomverse limited series features five issues of Symbiote stories from some of the best in comic books. These creators bring some jaw-dropping moments and turning points for characters like Eddie and Dylan Brock. Plus, some never-before-seen Venoms get to bear their, well, fangs for the first time. However, all of this is leading to an explosive climax in the Death of the Venomverse, where nobody is safe!
In the second issue of the limited series, Al Ewing and Vincenzo Carratu craft a story starring everyone’s favorite Black Cat, Felicia Hardy. In the tale, Hardy receives her very own Venom symbiote while attempting to pull a heist on the Fantastic Four. While the rest of the story is being kept a secret, the cover art from Leinil Francis Yu previews Hardy’s deadly transformation.
Funnily enough, this isn’t the first time the Black Cat has worn a symbiote suit. Last year, the second issue of Jed MacKay and Carlos Villa’s Black Cat series gave Hardy a Venom makeover. The sticky-fingered hero briefly became the Anti-Venom as she freed Doctor Strange from Knull’s prison. However, I suspect she will get up to a lot more this time around.
What Else You Got?
Elsewhere, the second issue of the miniseries sees the return of the Marvel 1602 Universe. Clay McLeod Chapman and Paul Davidson craft a story that will bring the creepiest Venom ever to readers. The issue also features a story about a technologically advanced version of Venom. This is from superstar creators David Pepose and Ken Lashley.
Extreme Venomverse #2 is out on May 24.
