Sensational Venom Comics to Read Before The Last Dance

Posted on October 25, 2024

The first Venom film kicked off the odd trend of giving Spider-Man nemeses their own Spidey-less solo movies that would continue with Morbius and Kraven the Hunter (please Sony, give Hydro-Man and The Living Brain their own movies. Dozens of us demand it. Probably). But after the lackluster sequel, Let There Be Carnage, the Venom trilogy is finally coming to an end with The Last Dance (and by that, I mean, “coming to an end unless the studio decides they can squeeze a few more dollars out of the IP and convince Tom Hardy to come back”). All joking aside, Venom is a really great character, and much, much more than a warped, creepy version of Spider-Man. The various characters to take on the mantle of Venom over the years have gone from villain to antihero to villain again to Anti-Venom (long story) to secret agent to space knight and probably a few dozen other things in between. Regardless of which version or era is your personal favorite, we have plenty of action-packed comics covering his almost four decades of existence.
