Marvel Comics revealed via Polygon new series All-New Venom is kicking off this December from Al Ewing and Carlos Gómez. The new series will feature a new host for the Venom symbiote, with a murder mystery permeating the first story arc.
Ewing told Polygon the series will be a lot more fun, and it’s his first official solo take on the character. “If people have a strong hankering for something different from me, this is that. It’s almost more like a Spider-Man-level story.”

So what’s All-New Venom about?
When the dust settles on Eddie and Dylan’s symbiote-heavy brawl, the Venom symbiote will have a new human to call its own. Who is under the goo is a mystery Dylan will have to solve in gumshoe mode. The book will introduce four suspects — Robbie Robertson, Madame Masque, Rick Jones, and Luke Cage. And as Ewing put it in an interview with Polygon, there are plenty of reasons why any of them could be the one slinging across New York City.
Ewing add, “It is set on Earth, very much in the normal New York City. Everywhere we go in the story is a place you could go, or at least the type of place you could go. Obviously, when we go to a warehouse… well, I do have a tendency to look up actual warehouses, and then change them just enough to pass legal. So yeah, everywhere we go in this story is a natural place you can go in New York City.”
