Going Solo With Venom

Cover art by Patrick Zircher

Rick Remender and I have been c0-writing the current arc of Venom. It’s been a lot of fun siccing The Savage Six and Flash Thompson and his family and friends. This week, it was announced that I’ll be assuming the writing chores on Venom as of issue 23.

Once the dust settles from Flash’s encounter with Crime-Master and his crew, I’ll be throwing a new batch of challenges into the mix. Code: Uatu missions, tabloid muckrakers, demons, and the Son of Satan himself will be entering Venom’s orbit as he tries–really tries–to become the superhero he’s always wanted to be. Hopefully, this will be a good jumping on point for readers who haven’t been following the series up until this point.

My first arc will bring story threads from The Fearless and from the Circle of Four story together in a big way. Why did Daimon Hellstrom betray the Avengers and join the forces of the D.O.A.? Little does Flash know, but it’s all his fault. And if you thought Crime-Master could mess with Flash’s head, just wait til you see what Hellstrom has in store.

CBR interviewed me about my plans for the book. Check it out when you have a moment.
