Next week, Titan Comics is releasing “The Philosophy of Venom,” a book of wisdom from an unlikely source: the alien symbiote Venom. Titan has scoured Marvel Comics for pages/panels that unleash some of Venom’s worldview, and collected them into a book, which drops this month. Multiversity Comics is proud to be one of the sites participating in the ’12 Days of Venom,’ and especially proud to be debuting the following piece of art, culled from “Venom” #23.

The art was a variant cover by Skottie Young from the February 2020 issue, written by Donny Cates and illustrated by Mark Bagley. Young is, of course, a fantastic artist, known for books like “I Hate Fairyland,” and his adaptation of Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This playful take on Venom is a nice change of pace from some of the most ghastly and grizzled takes on the character we’ve seen in the past.

So, check out more about the book below, and if this seems up your alley, you can pre-order it today.

Hot on the heels of the highly anticipated Venom movie sequel, uncover the crazed and illustrious mind of the original symbiote superhero in this lavishly presented collection of Venom’s most heroic, villainous, and somewhat killer moments from his comic book history.

In this book, you’ll get in to the mind – or minds – of Venom: eat, save, kill, repeat! Hero or villain? Psychotic or vulnerable? Does anything make sense to a ravenous symbiote from outer space?!

Witness the fears, the loves, the scruples, and the pure hunger that drives the popular anti-hero with a look at his favourite moments, best friends, worst enemies, epic comic action, and awesome cover art!
