The comic book in question is All-New Venom #1, which is officially coming out on December 4, 2024, in this report, we are going to bring you all the information you need to know about this exciting new storyline that you will be able to enjoy very soon.
Written by Al Ewing with art by Carlos Gómez, All-New Venom #1 is coming out on December 4, as we have said, and it is going to provide us with a completely new and very interesting storyline featuring the most famous Symbiote from Marvel’s comics. The official synopsis for the comic reveals the following information:
WHO IS THE ALL-NEW VENOM? The smiling, swashbuckling spider-hero New York loves to hate to love is back – and more fun-loving than ever! That’s right, it’s… Wait, it’s VENOM?! An all-new host is taking the symbiote in a whole new direction – but who?
It could be the Journalist…the Terrorist…the Sidekick… or even the Mayor… We’re giving you all the clues, good believers – but you won’t know until the mask comes off! Writer Al Ewing (VENOM, IMMORTAL THOR) takes Venom in a completely new direction with artist Carlos Gómez (FANTASTIC FOUR, THE AMAZING MARY JANE) bringing the story to gorgeous life!
As you can see, Venom is getting a new host and there are numerous speculations about the identity of the new Venom, whose image you can see below:
This is going to be a major mystery in the upcoming series, as the fans definitely want to know who the new Venom is, and while we have gotten some clues about the new Symbiote’s identity, we still don’t have any precise information. Author Al Ewing commented on the series for IGN:
It’s a complete shift in tone – the previous series built to a fever pitch of time-travel weirdness, chaos and cosmic mayhem, and we’ve pushed that to about the limit that the character and the audience can take.
So it’s time for some contrast – take things right down to street level and work out who the Venom symbiote is after all that and what happens when you take it back to the absolute basics of Spidey’s world.
In some ways, it’s a place the symbiote hasn’t been in for a while… in others, it’s a place Venom’s never been in. Even as a hero, Venom was always the Lethal Protector… what does it look like when he’s an honest-to-goodness hero? Does it look like the most ostentatious coping mechanism this side of Matt Murdock?
We do provide a little of both – if you want a Venom that’s absolute all-out weirdness, we have several trades’ worth on the shelves and Donny and Ryan’s run, that took us up to that place, before that. ‘But if you want to start fresh with ‘Who is Venom in the comics, anyway?’ Well, this is a #1. And like all good #1s, it tells you everything you need to know about where the comic iteration is at.

As for the central mystery of the comic book, Ewing also provided us with some interesting hints about the new Venom’s true identity, which is going to be one of the hottest topics very soon:
Rick Jones, for example, has never to my knowledge been within sniffing distance of a symbiote – and that’s a rare quality these days. But having spent his whole life buddying up to heroes – from the Hulk to Captain America to Captain Marvel and more besides – is he, pardon the pun, jonesin’ for the super-adventures of old?
Or there’s Luke Cage – bulletproof, unbreakable, New York’s Mayor in the Marvelverse, no symbiote connections up to this point.
His super hero identity is public knowledge – would he see value in a team-up that’d give him the power to fight what he couldn’t fight from behind a desk? Robbie Robertson nearly lost his son to the recent supervillain gang war – after so long on the sidelines of Spider-heroics, watching his family and friends face all manner of danger, might he not decide to get in the game himself if the opportunity presented itself?
And last but not least, Madame Masque. She was soundly defeated at the end of that same gang war, betrayed by her fellow criminals – wouldn’t a heroic identity be the perfect vehicle for revenge? Those are the four names on Dylan Brock’s list – but we’ll be giving readers all the clues, issue by issue, right along with him…
