Marvel has released a “Venom Farewell” video, in commemoration of Venom #200, which is the end of the run for creative team Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman. Cates and Stegman have been largely responsible for revamping Eddie Brock/Venom as his own blockbuster-level anti-hero in the larger Marvel Universe. The pair relaunched Venom in his own series back in May of 2018 and immediately started revamping the entire mythology to include a dark new origin and powers of the symbiote race, as well as big developments in Eddie’s life, like the relationship with his son Dylan. For the end of their run, Cates and Stegman have the ambition to do no less than blow up and re-invent Venom all over again.
New York, NY— June 15, 2021 — Tomorrow marks the end one of the most revolutionary Marvel sagas of the last decade: Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman’s VENOM. The superstar creative team will close out their redefining work on Eddie Brock and the symbiote mythos in Venom’s milestone 200th issue. Over the years, Cates and Stegman have torn Eddie Brock’s life asunder, uncovering long-hidden mysteries behind the nature of symbiotes while exploring Venom’s very nature as a Marvel hero. This bold era launched two linewide events, Absolute Carnage and King in Black, and will leave a lasting impact not only on the character of Venom but on the Marvel Universe as a whole. The acclaimed duo recently sat down to reflect on their run in a special farewell video, spotlighting their greatest moments as well as a sneak peek at tomorrow’s issue.
