Talking of what’s going on in the Venom book, “this is Mary Jane Venom, this is her new look that she will be getting. The first story is Venom #259 but because I like retailers to make a little bit of money, and we like to sell a little more books, the first appearance is actually going to be the last page of Venom #258. Sort of like Wolverine appearing in Incredible Hulk #180 all those years ago.” And here’s the solicitation to Venom #258 as part of Marvel’s May 2026 solicits and solicitations,<\/a> so you can jump on early if you want.<\/p>\n
