Marvel Announces Venomized Variants

If you're a fan of themed variant covers, Marvel has a cool one for you. In March, several titles will feature Venomized variants. This means we'll get to see what various characters could look like if they bonded with the Venom symbiote. We have an exclusive look at four of the covers.

I can't imagine the confusion people will feel in the future when someone tries to explain, "No. See, it's Gwen Stacy, but alive, dressed as Deadpool and wearing the Venom symbiote."

@longbowhunter: it's actually not gwen stacy but it's Gwen poole...

I can see these will be the next rage, the first batch of venom variants are now fetching $1000 dollar range with popularity.

i hope carnage gets a venom cover

They should make a Black Bolt venom variant. (Even though it's the symbiote's weakness I think it would be cool) Also, make a black panther venom variant

I wanna see a earth-65 venom for year.

This is making me wonder what a Venom Groot would look like.

@longbowhunter: Hopefully someone will straighten all this crap out before then...

I don't care for Gwenpool but that cover is well done.

@nerevarine_11: been done already..

@longbowhunter: She is not Gwen Stacy and she is not dressed as Deadpool [she is Gwen Pool and is dressed as a Pink Hydra Agent]

@donmeca2020: @thatlyn_yoaeg_ill_rymmin: Oh so it's actually MORE complicated than I initially thought. Cool.

These covers are amazing. I cannot wait for the others.

They all look amazing! Gwenpool is probably my favorite though.

Can't wait to see venomized venom!!

@longbowhunter: trust me i thought the same thing dude lol she's definitely not character im into neither..

That Spider-Gwen cover tho!

@hiimsmart: Yes it is.

+all of the 1s

i love the black Panther one.

Why? She is Gwenpool, a different character with no-in-comic-tie neither with Deadpool or with Gwen Stacy. It's not complicated. The cover is Gwen Poole with Venom, nothing other to say. Just like Black Panther cover, is simply T'Challa with Veno :)

I find more complicated the Four Armed Spider-venom on the Amazing Spider-Man cover, really, what is that...?

Spider Gwen looks badass

Beautiful (+)

what will they think of next... smh

no imagination or ideas = let's slap this to that and sell it as the next hot thing!

So cool but I like black panther, spider-gwen and gwenpool's venomized variant best.

@spinnercomix Well said.

I spy an event that has something to do with venomized characters.

I still think that this is the rise of the villains that resets the Marvel Universe. They will ride this as long as they can but even the Marvel Now is not ripping up the sales chart. Last week Marvel had 4 number 1 issues in the top 10 and I don't think any of them have staying power. Champions went from 400,000 copy's to 40,000 copies between issue 1 and 2.

I find Gwen pool pretty funny. I'm not a big fan of all comedy in comics but she's a good read. I think marvel did a disservice to her with the name..

@thatlyn_yoaeg_ill_rymmin: it's a reference to the spider man arc where he tried to cure himself and ended up mutating.
