Preview: Venom #13.1

Rick Remender is taking a short break from the series with these point-one-issues consuming Venom’s life. Although Venom usually works alone, a one man wolf pack, he’s going to be fighting alongside some other Marvel anti-heroes.

But, they do have a pentagram on the cover, just so we know it’s badass. Below you can peak at the preview from Marvel Comics. read on for the skinny…

This is a Venom like we’ve never seen before, and it’s a distinct pleasure every single month. Issue 9 is a great place for new readers to hop on board before the next big arc hits in December.
