Series writer Charles Soule explained:
“I am so thrilled to be relaunching VENOM with an all-new #1 this October with art by Tommaso Bianchi, who is doing astonishing work.
Every panel leaps off the page into your eyeballs, it takes up room, it nests in your mind, which is a good thing in this case.”
“We are doing new things with the character that have not been done before. It is thrilling, it is fast-paced, and perhaps a bit provocative.
Venom is the best. Venom rules. Venom. Venom. Venom.”

FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD MARY JANE
Having been bonded to the Venom symbiote for the past several months following the events of VENOM WAR, Mary Jane Watson emerges from QUEEN IN BLACK with a new lease on life, new career ambitions, and… a top-secret gift?
Rising star writer Ashley Allen (X-Men: Tomb of Apocalypse) and legendary artist Phil Noto (Daredevil) are teaming up to pull back the curtain on FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD MARY JANE, a five issue limited series, beginning this November.
Series writer Ashley Allen teased:
“I’m so excited to be taking Mary Jane on this next chapter!
MJ has always understood people in a way few can, and that’s what makes this series so exciting to write. While we hinted at what’s coming in FACE IT, TIGER, MJ’s ready to plot her own story … even if it’s from behind the camera.
But entertainment’s not all it’s cracked up to be, and MJ’s storytelling ambitions might put her in the direct path of someone who views her empathy as a threat to their plans.”
