As a longtime Marvel fan with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I’ve seen the web-slinging antics of Spider-Man and the symbiote mayhem of Venom unfold across countless titles and iterations. So, diving into “Venom War: Spider-Man” #1 was like a nostalgic trip down memory lane, albeit with a twist that had me on the edge of my seat.
In the comic “Venom War: Spider-Man” #1 by Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, and Greg Land, Spider-Man and Venom’s contentious past is evident, but they need to set aside their disagreements. However, given the looming threat of war, this might be simpler in theory than in practice. Moreover, Peter Parker finds himself in a challenging position as he must trust his old foe, despite the pain inflicted by the beast in their previous encounters.
The latest unexpected meeting of this duo can be traced to issue #1 of “Venom War” by Al Ewing and Iban Coello. In this story, the symbiote character, Venom, appears at Peter’s apartment due to a crisis it was experiencing. Essentially, multiple Eddie Brocks have emerged from a time rift, disrupting a live wrestling event and setting up their own operations. This leads Spider-Man to put on his suit and engage in combat with them. However, the situation is more intricate than just chaos at a wrestling match. Eddie Brock and his son, Dylan Brock, are at odds, and both aim to have Venom on their side.
In summary, Venom has no desire to reconnect with either Dylan or Eddie because it doesn’t wish to experience further pain or death. Instead, this former killer alien turns to the local superhero for help, finding solace in the symbiotic bond once more. However, the question remains: can Venom be trusted? The answer will be revealed in “Venom War: Spider-Man” #1 as we explore their potential coexistence.
Peter Parker embraces the symbiote in Venom War: Spider-Man
In an exclusive sneak peek of “Venom War: Spider-Man” #1, our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man finds himself bonded with the Venom symbiote yet again. Together, they aim to quell the chaos brewing at a wrestling event where different Eddies, each accompanied by their own symbiotes, are preparing for an impending war. Recognizing that a fight between these quarreling, mind-devouring extraterrestrials could have far-reaching consequences, Spider-Man and Venom jump headfirst into the conflict.
First, let me clarify that Spidey (Spider-Man) and Venom set some conditions for their association in advance, one being maintaining mental separation. This rule harks back to the early phase of their connection, initiated during “Secret Wars,” prior to when Peter Parker discovered his new suit was sentient. Over time, the symbiote aimed to dominate Spider-Man entirely, utilizing his body for nighttime activities while he slept, eventually leading to a violent rupture of their relationship – an incident that resulted in Venom’s creation and sparked a lengthy conflict between the two characters, lasting for decades.
It’s uncertain if the symbiote will uphold its latest pledge, but for the time being, it and Peter Parker need to focus on overcoming alien wrestlers. In “Venom War” #1, the Eddies dished out powerbombs and heavy kicks against their colossal adversaries, but they might require more than that to match symbiote Spider-Man’s acrobatic prowess. The task won’t be simple, but the arachnid superhero appears entertained by the clash between all the Eddies, Dylan, and their symbiote allies. Take a look at the following pages for a sneak peek of what awaits in the first issue of “Venom War: Spider-Man.”
Spider-Man and Venom might have other problems to deal with
The competitive dynamic between Eddie and Brock, often characterized as father and son, extends beyond a dispute over who should control the Venom symbiote for their respective purposes. Previously, Dylan had an encounter with a powerful entity called The Eventuality, who warned that if their father gains mastery again, he could bring about the destruction of the universe. On the other hand, Eddie is convinced that catastrophic consequences will ensue if his son reunites with Venom. What a tough predicament!
In other parts, Liz Allan and her fellow executives at Alchemax have joined forces with Mr. Meridius to tackle the symbiote issue. Meridius harbors ill will towards Eddie due to his belief that Eddie destroyed the Garden of Time, and he aims to eliminate the symbiotes using a hazardous chemical that endangers both extraterrestrials and humans. The stage is now set for a full-scale conflict that could significantly influence the Marvel Universe’s future, but who will emerge victorious? It seems “Venom War: Spider-Man” is gearing up to intensify matters, and it’ll be intriguing to watch Peter Parker and the titular symbiote complete their mission without any underhanded schemes interfering.
Starting next Wednesday, August 14, the first issue of “Venom War: Spider-Man” by Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, and Greg Land will hit both physical retail stores and online platforms.
