Marvel Announces VENOM: POV, a Five‑Issue Origin Retelling

The series gives the alien symbiote its own voice to explain its motives, clarifying Eddie Brock’s past.

Overview

  • Marvel announced VENOM: POV as a five-issue limited series that will reach stores in December and is written by Ryan Stegman with art by Carlos Gomez.
  • The story is framed and told entirely from the alien symbiote’s point of view to show its experiences and motivations as it encounters Spider-Man and later bonds with Eddie Brock.
  • VENOM: POV revisits the character’s Amazing Spider‑Man–era origin by starting before Venom became the ‘lethal protector’ and presents Eddie Brock as a disgraced reporter seeking revenge.
  • Ryan Stegman will supply the main covers and has said the original saga left questions about Eddie that he wants to answer, while Carlos Gomez is credited with a visual style meant to refresh familiar scenes.
  • Marvel says more promotional details will follow in the months before launch, and the project fits with recent moves to reestablish Venom’s classic elements across comics and related media.
