As you might have noticed, there are a LOT of variant cover programs coming from the House Of Ideas this March and the latest batch are celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Venom. Can you believe that its been thirty years since we first met this incredible character? Check out the covers below and who worked on them. I’ll return at the close with some additional thoughts.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: These nine are the only ones shared across the press channels so if anymore come to light I will edit the post to include them. As you know I don’t really say much about the variant cover programs since I don’t keep them in my own collection but I wonder which ones you are psyched about from what you see presented. You can let me know down in the comments section below and just in case you missed it, I ran a post about the teaser trailer for Sony Pictures “Venom” film a few days ago. You can check out that post by clicking HERE. See you next time.
