This is the Venomized Phoenix cover by Francesco Mattina, an exclusive variant for Unknown Comics, for Jean Grey #1 out this month. It features a Dark Phoenix who has been taken over by the Venom symbiote, as part of a series of promotional Venom variant covers alongside the release of Venom #150.
And here is a Sideshow print of Dark Pheonix by Ian MacDonald from a wee while ago.
Separated At Birth: Francesco Mattina Venom and Ian MacDonald Phoenix
Separated At Birth used to be called Swipe File, in which we presented two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences, or works of the lightbox. We trusted you, the reader, to make that judgment yourself. If you were are unable to do so, we asked that you please return your eyes to their maker before any further damage is done.
The Swipe File didn't judge; it was interested more in the process of creation, how work influences other work, how new work comes from old, and sometimes how the same ideas emerge simultaneously, as if their time has just come. The Swipe File was named after the advertising industry habit where writers and artist collect images and lines they admire to inspire them in their work. It was swiped from the Comic Journal, who originally ran this column, as well as the now-defunct Swipe Of The Week website.
