New Character Virus to Debut on Free Comic Book Day, Then in Venom #26
At the big Marvel Comics panel at C2E2 in Chicago, Venom writer Donny Cates was on hand to talk about upcoming Venom storylines – and make some announcements as well.

As for the character on the front cover of Venom #26, they are called Virus, who is after Eddie Brock's son – and human symbiote Dylan Brock. But Virus will make their debut in the Free Comic Book Day Spider-Man/Venom issue, on the first Saturday of May.
