Anyway, some folks are being a little cynical about this, which is just how things are these days in a world where everyone fears the worst in big and small ways - honestly, though, I just want to make fun comics. Our true intent is all for your delight, as they say... --Al Ewing

In some ways, it's a place the symbiote hasn't been in for a while... in others, it's a place Venom's never been in. Even as a hero, Venom was always the Lethal Protector... what does it look like when he's an honest-to-goodness hero? Does it look like the most ostentatious coping mechanism this side of Matt Murdock? -- Al Ewing

There can be only one. All the main Venom hosts are involved in this to one degree or other, but only one host will get to be the Venom of 2025. -- Al Ewing

When it came time to do the major plotting and conceiving work on this enterprise I was very much down a wrestling rabbit hole as a result of a heady mix of Orange Cassidy, the Golden Lovers and COVID-19 keeping me confined to quarters to stew in a vibrant soup of this stuff. I've since escaped that particular obsession but it's all over this book, as things start dramatic and get... dramatic-er. All this and Peter Parker too! -- Al Ewing

Not that I wasn’t enjoying myself back in [Venom #1], but in a different way, I started to really have a lot of freewheeling fun with it, to the extent that Venom War, which — back when me and Ram were planning it — was originally going to be this great father-and-son tale. And it is still that, but it’s happening in a wrestling ring, because Venom demands some degree of craziness and wildness and fun. -- Al Ewing

I’ve come to embrace a lot of the fun of Venom, in that Venom is just a really fun character. The character brings a certain degree of chaos with him. When I started coming out of Donny Cates’ run, me and Ram V had this clear idea of epic scope, an epic time-travel story with elements of [Michael] Moorcock in there, The Dancers at the End of Time, things like that. But the more I wrote Venom, the more that wild fun of the character started creeping in. -- Al Ewing

What makes this particular mantle unique is that gaining or losing the symbiote is never the beginning or end of someone's story - just a new chapter in it. So I think it's not so much about feeling a push for a definitive version as it is about knowing when to end one chapter and start the next. -- Al Ewing

"Venom and his hosts have a degree of inherent unpredictability - not to mention antisociability - that makes for all manner of thrill-power, and also a fair amount of gritty character drama as various humans have to work out their relationships with this alien goo-beast. (And the many other alien goo-beasts he brings along for the ride.)"

It's very difficult to tell a boring Venom story. Even when our run's been at its timey-est and wimey-est, something about the symbiote demands a degree of all-out action, wildness, and weirdness. -- Al Ewing

If last issue was a cerebral character piece built around a formalist conceit... this one isn't. It's about PUNCHING! And MORE PUNCHING! And maybe a surprise guest from another book, too, making an entrance as only they can! There's just a pinch of existential timey-wimey angst, too - we're still in the Time Shenanigans Era of Venom, but I can reassure readers who've had about enough timeyness - and, indeed, wimeyness - that it's a plotline that's building to one hell of a head. -- Al Ewing

I figured the best way to tell the secret origin of Meridius, the Evil Eddie Brock who's the time-warped mastermind behind everything, is through... a palindrome? What? Well, read the book and find out for yourself - it's definitely the most thumbnailed thing I've done in recent memory, and you'll figure out why that is when you get to the mind-bending midpoint! Who says this isn't the Venom age of formalist experimentation for its own sake, goo believers? -- Al Ewing

When Editor Devin Lewis pitched me the 50-page oversized issue, my first thought was packing as much bang per buck into those fifty pages as possible – and who provides more bang than the Lord of Latveria? -- Al Ewing
