Venom Infects the Marvel Universe This January

Get ready to see a lot of Venom in 2012.

Last month we reported on the six part weekly Venom story featuring X-23, Ghost Rider and Red Hulk. If that wasn't enough Venom action for you, Marvel has announced that January will begin our first look at a bunch of Venom variant covers.

Captain America #7 variant

February is going to be an action packed month for Venom, but before the insanity begins we’ve got your first look at January’s jaw dropping Venom Variants! Brought to you by some of the best artists in the industry, get ready for a unique look at your favorite Marvel heroes as they get infected by symbiotes!

Kicking off February with a bang, Venom makes unholy alliances with Red Hulk, Ghost Rider & X-23 to save Sin City, Las Vegas, from total chaos in Venom: Circle of Four. Then, just as Rick Remender and Gabriel Hardman take the reins as the new creative team of Secret Avengers, they draft Venom to the team’s lineup!

So what are you waiting for True Believer, go out and tell your retailers to make yours VENOM!

Check out the other variants.

Very soon... Venom will be taking over. The marvel universe isnt prepared. hehe. So the variant covers are amazing, can't wait for the new six part series, and I would love to see them take the Venom character even further. And of course now that Anti-venom is gone I would like them to pull a super 180, and make brock the host again. Well... I can dream. hehe. So bring on the Venom! Thank you Marvel!
