Summary
Marvel is celebrating the release of the nextVenommovie by introducing theVenom Horseinto comic form.Venom: The Last Danceis currently slated for an October 25 release date, andthe part of the trailerthat everyone can’t stop talking about is the unveiling of the Venom Horse, the four-hoofed mammal riding high off the high of symbiote power.
Marvelnow celebrates the movie release by revealing two Venom Horse variant covers forVenom War#1 andVenom War#2 by Al Ewing and Iban Coello. Carlos Nieto’s variant cover for both issues can be viewed below.Beyond just promoting the movie simultaneously with the comics event, this hints at the kind of chaos that could unfold duringVenom War.
Marvel aren’t stopping with the variant covers,as the Venom Horse will be officially introduced in one-page backup stories told throughout each issue of the five-partVenom Warminiseries.
With Two Venom Horse Covers
In the comics, Venom is going through a last dance of his own - one with his son - as both Eddie Brock and Dylan Brock are set to butt heads in the upcomingVenom War. Eddie sees a vision of the future where Venom World consumes the entire planetas the last Venom standing, while Dylan meets his future self. Both men see bleak glimpses of the future, and both men have conflicting viewpoints on how to avert that dark, bleak future.
Both Dylan and Eddie are convinced that they individually need to be the host to the Venom symbiote, and the only way to settle their disagreement is by way ofthe ultimate wrestling matchbetween the two, pitting several symbiotes against each other in the fracas. Much like the movie, anarchy promises to ensue in this storyline, but while the plots of both will differ, the level of anarchy could be similar once it boils down to who (or what) gets consumed by a symbiote.
Anyone Can Be a Symbiote
Even a Horse
One of the most exciting things about symbiotes is that they can take on the form of literally anybody.A horse that can be Venompersonifies that notion, and readers should expect that notion being exercised throughoutVenom War.Whether someone like Wolverine gets their own Venom symbiote, or it happens to an unsuspecting animal like theVenom Horse, we all could be Venom during this war, and that’s worth getting excited about. It brings a whole new meaning to"We areVenom."

Initially a Spider-Man villain due to its origins, Venom evolved into an antihero, battling both villains and his own dark impulses. The character embodies themes of duality and redemption within the Marvel Universe.
