Marvel’s October Venom War Solicits Tease A Three-War, Which Is Not What You Think It Is

Venom War #3 crop

This October, Venom War from Marvel turns into a three-war. Which to be clear, is a war between three people, instead of two people. It’s not that other thing but spelled wrong. You know the one.

In case you’re not up to speed, Eddie Brock and his son Dylan Brock are both Venom. But, there can only be one Venom, so they’re going to fight. And of course, because it’s Venom, and goop gets everywhere, the Venom War spills out into multiple titles, spinoffs, and miniseries.

Check out the full listings of covers, synopses, and more info for the October Venom War titles, below. And get your mind out of the gutter.
