The Press Release:
Mastermind writer Al Ewing has already taken Eddie and Dylan Brock’s sagas to uncharted levels of symbiote insanity in the pages of VENOM, but this September, Venom’s quest goes off the rails completely when DOOM comes calling! Featuring artwork by Sergio Dávila, Cafu, Ken Lashley, Julius Ohta, the super-sized milestone issue will see Venom make a desperate move to turn the tide of his ongoing battle against Meridius by going after noneother than Doctor Doom! Bonded to a new symbiote and equipped with new abilities, Venom is more powerful than ever but against Doom, he’s in way over his head…
“Venom” #25
Eddie Brock needs access to Doctor Doom’s time platform but in doing so, got more than he ever bargained for, battling the most notorious super villain in the Marvel Universe through time itself! Luckily, Eddie’s well versed in navigating the timestream thanks to his recent adventures. He’s poised to take his conflict with Meridius to its frenetic and fist-filled finish – if he survives DOOM! PLUS! Eddie’s battle with Doom will land him, briefly, in a very unexpected place…MIDTOWN HIGH SCHOOL! But what, or who, could he find there?
“When Editor Devin Lewis pitched me the 50-page oversized issue, my first thought was packing as much bang per buck into those fifty pages as possible – and who provides more bang than the Lord of Latveria?” Ewing explained. “Victor makes a great counterpoint for Eddie Brock – the King and the commoner, the polymath of a thousand schemes and the brutal bar-room brawler. And, of course, the big difference between them – Eddie’s forgiven a lot of his old enemies, but nobody carries a grudge like Doctor Doom…”
Check out the cover below, which features Venom’s all-new look debuting this week in VENOM #21, and don’t miss this epic showdown between VENOM and DOOM when VENOM #25 hits stands in September! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: So I know that I have been saying for awhile now that I am not as regular a collector of the monthly books as much as I am now a regular commentator about them all but something about this super-sized edition of “Venom” seems to be so appealing to me. I’ve been a fan of Venom since he first appeared and who doesn’t love anything that features the dreaded Doctor Doom in the storyline. Now one should be advised that such a massive issue will be more costly than the conventional ones but don’t let that stop you from enjoying such a battle royale. Since we didn’t get any additional pages to share in the press release I will wrap this one up now and ask yo to chime in down below first if you feel like it. I’ll see you again soon with some other Pop Culture stuff along with our bevy of other amazing content. Cheers.
