The scope of Venomverse begins to come into focus with the release of the solicitation text for the first four issues of the Marvel Comics event.
EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW: Does Eddie Brock Kill [SPOILER] in Venomverse #1?
Billed as "the biggest Venom story of all time," the five-issue miniseries by writer Cullen Bunn and artist Iban Coello returns Eddie Brock to the forefront as Venom is transported to a distant planet, where he comes face to face with the Poisons, a deadly species that's hunting -- you guessed it! -- Venoms.
The earlier first look at the event showcased a Murderers' Row of Venomized characters, including Rocket Raccoon, Gwenpool, Old Man Logan and Black Panther, something the solicitation for Venomverse #1 underscores with a setup that sounds akin to The Dirty Dozen, with symbiotes: "Trapped on the planet’s surface with a ragtag band of Venomized heroes, Eddie has no choice but to mount a counteroffensive and hope to find a way home!"

Although that may not be considered a spoiler, the solicitations for subsequent issues undoubtedly are. And then there are two covers that feature Poison-ized versions of Spider-Man and Deadpool.
Venomverse debuts in September, hot in the heels of August's Edge of Venomverse anthology miniseries. Check out the solicitation text for the four of the covers, below:
