Venom Gets A Red And Blue Spider-Man Costume In Venom #252
Venom Gets A Red And Blue Spider-Man Costume In Venom #252, Revealed At San Diego Comic-Con
Article Summary
- Venom debuts a new red and blue Spider-Man-inspired costume in Venom #252, arriving this December.
- The new look marks a major change from Venom’s classic black suit, nodding to Spider-Man’s iconic style.
- This redesigned costume first appears in Battleworld #3, a special issue celebrating Secret Wars’ legacy.
- With legacy numbering in play, Mary Jane Watson may still be inside the symbiote as Venom evolves again.
Amazing Spider-Man #252 saw Spider-Man first appear with the black symbiote suit that would one day become Venom, and we saw how he got it in Secret Wars, a few months later.

In December, sticking with the new legacy numbering that will bring us Venom #250 in October, we have Venom reach that same number #252. And in that comic, it seems, Venom will get their own Spider-man costume rather than the black suit look. Remember that is still Mary Jane Watson in there. Probably.

But also, the first appearance of that costume will be in Battleworld #3, out in November, which is celebrating the legacy of the Secret Wars series. It's a clever confluence of the two… Al Ewing is having fun with this, is he not?

San Diego Comic-Con is a comic book convention and multi-genre entertainment event held annually in San Diego, California, at the San Diego Convention Center. Founded in 1970, originally showcasing primarily comic books and science fiction/fantasy media, Comic-Con has grown to include a large range of pop culture and entertainment elements across virtually all genres. Since 2010, Comic-Con has filled the San Diego Convention Center to capacity with over 130,000 attendees. Comic-Con is home to the Eisner Awards, which recognizes creative achievement in American comic books, often referred to as the comic industry's equivalent to the Academy Awards and will be held tonight. San Diego Comic Convention, doing business as Comic-Con International, is the corporate name of the public-benefit nonprofit corporation behind Comic-Con. The corporation also organizes WonderCon, an annual convention held in Anaheim, California, and SAM: Storytelling Across Media, a symposium held at the Comic-Con Museum in Balboa Park.
