X-Men Blue are getting a new incarnation, and they are getting a true heavy hitter: the one, the oooooooonly, Venom! And this is real-deal Venom, not some mobster in a symbiote or Flash Thompson. No, this is Brock-Venom, aka, original Venom. The story is set in space, and I'm not sure what Venom can do up there that will give the team a big advantage (I guess there is no chance of running into one of his big weaknesses, fire, up there so that's something), but Venom's symbiote came from deep space, so I wonder if it will have different powers or strengths/weaknesses up there.
Now, Interstellar stuff not usually my bag; Annihilation, Venomverse, Starjammers, Shi'ar, etc. so I'm a little skeptical. But writer Cullen Bunn is taking over X-Men Blue duties, and he wrote the last run of Venom, so I'm excited to see what he can do here.
Check out the official announcement below:
In the far reaches of space, the Poisons attack the Marvel Universe – but who exactly are these new enemies, and what destruction are they planning to unleash on Earth? This is just the beginning of Poisons diabolical plot to overthrow the Marvel Universe…and it requires an unexpected team-up! This January, the Children of the Atom will join forces with Eddie Brock for a 6-part crossover that begins in X-MEN BLUE ANNUAL #1!
First seen in VENOMVERSE, the Poisons pose a threat that can only be stopped by the X-Men – and Venom. When the X-Men drag Venom into space for help, it turns out that they’re going to need to save the universe from something a little scarier than their own troubles, and Eddie Brock and his faithful Symbiote might be the only thing that can help stop it!
Don’t miss the crossover everyone will be talking about – POISON X starts this January with X-MEN BLUE ANNUAL #1!
