Anti-Venom Becomes a Horrifying Monster on Venom Variant Cover

In a Marvel Comics prevue forVenom # 23by Torunn Grønbekk and Ken Lashley , buff are given a look at the upcoming variant covers for the publication along with the chief cover and a outline . The synopsis teases the recurrence of an ‘ all - unexampled variant ’ of Toxin , while also give a brief retread on where Carnage and Cletus Kasady are decent now , plus a vague hint teasing the cellular inclusion of more symbiotes to come . Interestingly enough , however , there ’s no quotation of Anti - Venom in the synopsis , though the variant covering by creative person Gabriele Dell’Otto says more than any brief paragraph ever could . The cover shows Anti - Venom douse in shadow , snarling menacingly at the lector , with sticker - like fingers and toes poised and quick to light upon .
