Retailers Reveal The "Spoiler Variant" Cover For All-New Venom #5
Retailers Reveal The "Spoiler Variant" Cover For All-New Venom #5 by Al Ewing and Carlos Gomez
Article Summary
- Unveiling the "Spoiler Variant" cover for All-New Venom #5 with a fresh suspect.
- Marvel teases a new Venom identity: Mary Jane Watson a potential reveal.
- Speculation drives eBay prices, with copies selling up to $40.
- M.O.D.O.K. enters the mix, adding urgency to the Venom mystery.
Marvel Comics told retailers that they were to get a "FREE ALL-NEW VENOM #5 SUSPECT SURPRISE VARIANT" and that "Retailers who receive Promo Items should be receiving, with their 04/02/24 OSD Comics, a FREE copy of the PROMO SURPRISE APRIL VARIANT, now revealed as ALL-NEW VENOM #5 SUSPECT SURPRISE VARIANT". It follows the current All-New Venom series playing peek-a-boo over who the new Venom was under the symbiote. And promising that the suspects were to be one of four, Madame Masque, Robbie Robertson, Rick Jones or Luke Cage. Well, since then, there has been some elimination on the way before the upcoming reveal, specifically Madame Masque. But the four variant covers by Clayton Crain for All-New Venom #5 are as follows…
- All-New Venom #5
- All-New Venom #5
- All-New Venom #5
- All-New Venom #5
But the surprise "spoiler variant" cover throws a new, previously unnamed suspect into the mix. One copy per store… bagged specially for the occasion.
Is the All-New Venom actually Mary Jane Watson? Who is going to open that bagged copy and find out? Well, at least it isn't Paul Rabin, I guess… All-New Venom #5 by Al Ewing and Carlos Gomez will be on sale from Marvel Comics this Wednesday unless anyone does anything naughty and puts them on sale first. A number of copies have already sold on eBay with prices rising up to $40, and that price is probably going to rise if the tease follows through… UPDATE: The news has been confirmed right here.
