Description

I just can't get enough of the fantastic Gerardo Sandoval. And I can *never* get enough of Spider-Man and Venom. So I am thrilled to have this amazing cover in my collection.

Here we have a great image of Venom battling Maniac, plus Spidey and Anti-Venom battling some of the 'Inklings,' including Scorpion who is under the control of the Scorpion symbiote. What? I know, right? Aren't comics great?

I love how Gerardo drew Scorpion's tail stinger coming down from the top.

The Inklings were created by Lee Price (Maniac), who began to take control of numerous small-time crooks and some of Black Cat's enforcers (including Black Cat herself), coating their faces with fragments of his symbiote which bound them to his will.

Venom Inc huh? Sounds enticing. I think this is still a damn sweet sum of characters for a single cover. But wicked display. Congrats!

But ... but...it has the Inklings!!  (By the way, Venom & The Inklings would be a great name for a punk rock band)

There are a lot of teeth, tongs, and alien goo in that pile-up!  Symbiote mayhem!

I love the enormity of Venokm's left arm/fist, as it just evokes POWER! Sandoval does a great job here on this patented "Pauly P everything but the kitchen sink" covers. But tell me, what exactly is a "Scorpion symbiote"? Did you mean to say that Scorpion is under the control of the sumbiote? Color me confused!

As far as I can tell, Maniac used bits of his own symbiote to coat the faces of bad guys like the Scorpion, thereby turning them temporarily symbiotic and controlling their minds.  So Scorpion became Symbiote Scorpion.  Or some such.  You know Marvel ... it gets confusing sometimes.

You can feel the power from front to back!  Each character inked to make you feel there is weight behind each swing and each blow landed!

Gerardo's stuff is so good, but I can't figure out who Black Cat is fighting. Maybe she's just disinterested in what Spidey is doing. Either way I like her curly hair do! Awesome cover as always!

Thanks for the comment!  Black Cat and members of her special enforcers were all put under the mind control of Maniac for a while,  So when she was able to shrug off that control, she took up the fight along with Venom and Spidey.

Despite the fact of the number guys... (lol) the cover is very well balanced. I love Spidey attitude and how he is over the situation. It seems that everything is under control. Super amazing cover! Huge congrats. A new amazing addition to you HUGE Spidey collection.

You know, the great thing about getting into a knuckleduster with the symbiotes is that you never have to worry about leaving blemishes; they already look like bruises!  And it's a good thing, too, as Spidey & Co. have their work cut out for them here!  Wow - talk about a battle royale!  Just about every inch of this thing is covered with amazing artistry.  "Venom, Inc."?  More like Venom INK!  Great pick up!  Congrats, Paul!

Frenetic scene and so uniquely stylized - no question it's Sandoval when you see it!  Digging the composition but what's really standing out are those bold inked lines, and noting where he goes super think or super thin or in between!  Subtley good stuff.  Congrats, Paul!

So much packed into this cover, and Sandoval makes it work!  Another stellar addition to your amazing art collection.
