King in Black Tie-In - Written by Donny Cates. Art by Iban Coello. Cover by Iban Coello and Jesus Aburtov. As the King in Black spreads his suffocating darkness across the Marvel Universe, Eddie Brock looks for a light, any light, that can pierce it - and comes up empty-handed

Already a gorgeous variant cover of Venom from the incredibly-skilled Ryan Stegman, there's just something about the number "33" and Bill Sienkiewicz and I felt Bill needed a part of this comic. I suggested Bill use it as a canvas, and just let loose on this sketch, allowing his open thoughts to meander through Stegmans lines, and add some of the chaos and movement that defines both Venom as a character, and Bills controlled/uncontrolled, anarchistic but beautiful art style.

One of those covers that started a FOMO panic, at least 3 printings, multiple variants, and copycats from Pooh to Donald Trump!

It was such an iconic cover, that it made for one of Marvel's best-selling titles in recent years. Patrick Gleason's reverse-negative image of Spider-Man, as if created by webbing, has also created a cottage industry in other "Webhead" images and Gleason, and take-offs from other creators.

LAST REMAINS CONCLUDES! “LAST REMAINS” ends and will make you look at Spider-Man differently. It’ll make Peter look at himself differently. If you thought the buildup TO Kindred was intense, the fallout FROM Kindred is even more devastating.

It is included here (in duplicate) because for me, I feel it completes the VENOM WEBHEAD (one trade dress, one virgin) comic. The hero and the anti-hero. Each with their own title. Locked in an eternal gaze - so much similar in them, and yet so much different!
