Cullen Bunn and Iban Coello create the first issue of Venomverse, a series which along with Edge of Venomverse set up the big Venom event coming for 2017. "On a routine battle Venom finds himself transported to a far-off world and learns a terrible truth — a deadly new species has emerged from the vastness of space, and to make matters worse, they're hunting Venoms! 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!" Here's a look at Venomverse #1 artwork by Coello.

What is the new apex predator species called the Poisons and what is their terrifying connection with the Venom symbiote?

The Poisons have now enacted a plan to consume and feed across universes and Venom is first on the menu. "When a Poison attacks a symbiote, they form an unstoppable one-sided union that the Venom wants no part of," said series writer Bunn. "And in order to find as many suitable symbiotes as possible, they are making their way across the multiverse in a quest for insatiable power."
