Venom #261

(W) Al Ewing (A) Carlos Gómez

VENOM’S OLDEST ENEMY RETURNS! Long ago, a friend of Reed Richards had a problem — an alien costume that didn’t want to come off. Reed Richards blasted it off with a sonic weapon and imprisoned it for study. It seemed like a good idea at the time… but now he’s got to work with that alien to save the world — and Venom holds one heck of a grudge!

Peach Momoko delivers a new vision for the Marvel Universe with Momo-Tone Variant Covers

Posted on August 22, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team Leave a comment

Peach Momoko continues to redefine her artistry! This November, the visionary artist debuts Momo-Tone Variant Covers, an all-new variant collection that showcases a bold new technique for the best-selling cover artist. In these gorgeously painted pieces, Momoko utilized screentones, adhesive sheets traditionally used in manga to create dynamic shades of gray and dramatic shadows. The result is a striking collection of dramatic portraits of Marvel icons unlike anything Momoko has created before, while still remaining true to her unmistakable signature style!

When I was in school, I always wanted to use screentones for my artwork, but they were too expensive for me to afford. Now I have the opportunity and decided to challenge myself by using screentones for these new Marvel covers.

But an obstacle emerged. How to color using watercolor paint on these screentones? So instead of painting on top of the screentones (risking the art warping), I tried and found that painting on the back of the canvas was very effective! It created a very clean, soft tone color palette that comes through the painting when light passes through from behind. I always enjoy these trial and error challenges and discovering the best methods of painting.

-Peach Momoko

In the fallout from this summer’s highly anticipated crossover event Queen in Black, Eddie Brock and Venom will find themselves reunited while soon-to-be-former host of Venom Mary Jane Watson will once again strike out on her own!

Rising star writer Ashley Allen and legendary artist Phil Noto are teaming up to pull back the curtain on Friendly Neighborhood Mary Jane, a five issue limited series, beginning this November.
