Marvel’sKid Venom seriesputs a manga spin on all things symbiote. Written and drawn by creator Taigami, the series follows 14-year-old heroKintaro and his symbiote Clinterin the year 977 as they battle the Oni (the name for evil symbiotes in Kintaro’s community). But, as the first issue revealed, there’s also a mystery to be solved: the strange appearance of a Spider-Man mask in 10th century Japan…
The first issue of Kid Venom ended with a massive wave of Oni about to overwhelm the village. Now Marvel has given us an exclusive look at some unlettered pages from the next issue, which show off some of the devastation that ensues. Can Kintaro and Clinter step up to save the day?
Here’s what Marvel has to say about Kid Venom #2:
“STORM THE GATES! New allies join forces to protect the city against the unknown! Could the mysterious item KINTARO found hold the key to the Multiverse? If so… only KID VENOM can unlock it!”
Kid Venom #2 is written and drawn by Taigami, with colors by Mattia Iacono, lettering by VC’s Joe Sabino, and translation by Aki Yanagi. It’s published byMarvel Comicson September 4.
Perhaps we’ve all gotten too used to the Lethal Protector… Is ittime for Venom to be a terrifying monster again?
