The King in Black vs the King in Purple in David Michelinie’s Venom: Separation Anxiety!

After two back-to-back hit Venom: Lethal Protector series, Venom co-creator David Michelinie triumphantly returns to deliver more epic tales set in Venom’s early days this May with Venom: Separation Anxiety! This time around, the legendary Amazing Spider-Man scribe will be joined by Venom and Death of the Venomverse artist extraordinaire Gerardo Sandoval for another heart-pounding saga starring a wilder, brain-eating Eddie Brock!

In his latest retro Venom series, Michelinie will pit Eddie against a new foe with the power to alter reality itself—PURPLE MAN! When the iconic villain uses his terrifying mind control powers to torment Eddie and steal his symbiote for himself, everyone’s favorite symbiote slugger may need to ask for unlikely help to get it back AND save his sanity!

LONG LIVE…THE KING IN PURPLE!

Check out Paulo Siqueira’s Venom: Separation Anxiety #1 cover, an homage to Charle Vess’ iconic Web of Spider-Man #1 cover, and inquire at your local comic shop regarding preorders!
