2018 will be a massive year for everyone’s favourite symbiote, Venom. 2018 marks his 30th year of existence and he’ll even star in his very own movie later in the year. To kick off this big year, though, Marvel have him crossing over with X-Men: Blue for a story called Poison-X.
The story will see Venom and the X-Men head off in outer space to take on a extra-dimensional threat known as the Poisons. Will they be able to save the universe? You’ll have to read it to find out.

Soon you’ll be devouring this story in no time at all.
