Revealed during the Marvel Comics Next Big Thing panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the two new series launching this Fall will showcase new adventures and status quos for Eddie Brock, freshly reunited with Venom and once again the Lethal Protector, and Mary Jane Watson, now separated from the symbiote and launching her own business venture in New York City with a supporting cast that includes Black Cat, Iron Man, and more.
