David Baldeón's cover art mimics MJ and Peter Parker's classic wedding scene.
Al Ewing teases soap opera thrills in MJ and Venom's unlikely bond.
Upcoming drama: Flash Thompson faces a moral dilemma against MJ-Venom.

Bleeding Cool broke the news about the love that dare not speak its name over the weekend, that Mary Jane Watson was to be the new host of Venom. Now it's all official, and in the comic book and everything, Marvel has revealed the new David Baldeon cover for All-New Venom #7 out in June that celebrates the new union.

"The highly-anticipated ALL-NEW VENOM #5 hit stands yesterday, revealing that the new host of Venom is Mary Jane Watson! With the mystery behind Al Ewing and Carlos Gómez's hot new run finally brought to light, the spoiler variant cover for ALL-NEW VENOM #7, on sale this June, can be unveiled!

"Drawn by acclaimed artist David Baldeón, the cover pays homage to Peter Parker and Mary Jane's iconic wedding in a twisted recreation of John Romita's classic Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21 cover. Surrounded by Dylan Brock, Paul Rabin, and former All-New Venom suspects, MJ and and Venom celebrate their new commitment to each other as symbiote and host—till death do they part! Baldeón's cover will also be available as a virgin variant cover.

"From strutting down runways as a high fashion model to fighting supervillains as the super hero Jackpot, Mary Jane's life has taken some unpredictable turns—but never like this! Now that she's been unmasked, the REAL mystery begins—how and why did she become ALL-NEW VENOM?! Stay tuned for answers in upcoming issues of ALL-NEW VENOM #6 as MJ's adventures as a symbiote hero kick into high gear!

"On his decision to take Spider-Man's greatest love in this bold new direction, Ewing explained, "We hooked readers in with the big mystery – albeit with a little misdirection thrown in – but now the cat's out of the bag, we can really get into the unlikely interaction of MJ and Venom. Unlike previous hosts, these two aren't together by choice, but their odd-couple energy makes for a bubbling pot of old-school soap opera thrills. If you've enjoyed this lighter take on Venom, there's a lot more on the way — as well as some darker directions to come."

They really love doing this, don't they?

This didn't need another thread Ewingshill

Carol Danvers is getting symbiote from MJ and then marrying her

Nice

If anyone had any doubt that MJ and Paul are breaking up in this run, you can put that to rest now. It's definitely happening and the staff is having a field day shitting on Lowe, Tom, and Unironic Paul fans along the way.

If she's not with Peter, then why have her at all?

Mary Jane is popular. The problem is that Marvel comics is pretty much entirely superheroes, so you can't write a comic about the life of a 30-ish year old woman living in NYC without attaching superpowers to it.

As much as I want her to be with Peter, I think it's better to fix her first then pair them up.

Spider-Man office unfortunately ruined both characters to the point where they need fixing first before getting back together, else we risk them being broken up relatively fast again.

Her being Venom actually works in favor of that, showing her first hand how Peter day-to-day life is actually like, something Lowe and Zeb made it clear MJ doesn't understand and that's why she treats him like that.

Facts: Venom symbiote is a much better lover than Peter and Paul put together

I think it's better to fix her first then pair them up.

Pete's gonna look like a chump for taking her back after the way she treated him. "Fixing" her doesn't change that.

Venom's cooler than Spider-Man PERIOD.

He can change and we've already seen that, don't blame the character, blame how the writers are handling him.

Readers have already made it clear that the current state of Spider-Man goes well beyond Peter and MJ not being together, it's how editorial refuses to budge on how to write him and the people around him.

That's why Ultimate Spider-Man is something they hate, it's literally everything they stand against and is proving their stance wrong.

gets to have a son, while Spider-Wuss gets nothing

gets to become the Chad in Black, the role that Spider-Wuss was meant for

now steals Spider-Wuss' girl

Venom won.

Because Marvel feeds on your frustration.

What if this all ends with Eddie, Dylan, Mary Jane and the venom symbiote together as a family?

The run is implied to have a dark twist, some people have speculated that MJ might become Queen in Black, something I think Venom War actually hinted at.

That's why Ultimate Spider-Man is something they hate, it's literally everything they stand against and is proving their stance wrong.

I don't like that shit either. There's nothing with cyrrent Spidey that appeals to me. These days, I think he's lame as shit. Finding out he was just the dweeby Ditko's self insert changed how I see him. The whole thing with Betty and Flo solidified that.

Peter's being written as a chump in general already.

Peter is supposed to be the new King in Black since venom has shown him a vision of he being the perfect host.
If Mary Jane becomes the new Queen, it means that we are getting her restoring the old dead symbiotes and Eddie beating Carnage into submission and proving that he is Good.
Also Cletus is still in in Jail scared shitless of becoming a Symbiote ever again after what Meridius did to him.

I didn’t finish reading Venom War, but is that really what Carnage’s apotheosis led to? An entire separate Cletus Kasady clone ate the other one just for Meridius to mindbreak him and the carnage symbiote to lose its godhood?

As fan of the Spider-Marriage between Peter and MJ, let me tell you... THIS IS NOT FUNNY!!!

Cletus was resurrected by carnage, meridius fucked them over leaving cletus mindbroken and scared of becoming part with a symbiote ever again, and the real carnage not only lost his godhood and powers after he and the grendel were turned into a spear to kill meridius, but he also lost all of his powers going back to his original debut, same goes to Venom with mary jane, whom venom is back to its original debut with Eddie, weaker and dependent of Eddie to survive and feeding on his rage against Peter Parker.
But there is a twist, the Eddie Brock of now is different from the Eddie whom Venom used his darkest thoughts to create Carnage, Eddie is now a good man and he wants to beat and prove Carnage that he is wrong, and Venom as Eddie wants to prove Mary Jane that he wants to protect her, Dylan and Eddie while helping her to heal her trauma and show her the truth about Paul.

This is a complete twist on how Venom and Carnage began, a inverse journey into their origins.
If i am to guess, Venom and Mary Jane's merge with Flash beign the first to see it will be a inverse of Cletus and Carnage debut.

falseflag spotted.

it wasn't meant to be this way marywhorebros...

SUCK IT FAGGOTS
PAUL WILL NEVER BE VENOM
PAUL WILL NEVER RAPE RESPECT INTO EDDIE'S SON WITH HIS 19 INCHES
IF PAUL HAS SEX WITH MJ HE WILL BE COCKVORED AT BEST AND DIE OF SEVERE ANAL RUPTURING AT WORST

We know Venom is still carrying a torch for Peter too, hahaha! Oh it's not looking good for the Paulpedos and the Gwenschizos (they're basically the same thing, just a bunch of weird Polish retards and sex offenders)

Mfw Paul's face

Fellow Rabid Rabin Retards... does #ourguy even have a reason to exist anymore?

Paul literally has no neck

HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO POLAND'S MOST BELOVED SUPERHERO

Fuck you, Marvel

spider meh.jpg - 253x358, 26.52K

Weird. You'd think they would want to feed on money instead.

Praying that this garbage gets pulled early or at least Legacy#250 swaps over to a new host.
I will take Carol at this point just get us away from the Spider-Man ship wreck.

So people just buy every Spider-Man comic, without reading them, because they must have a full collection? Don't you normally collect good stuff that you like?

So is there a bad guy symbiote host floating around somewhere currently?

Cletus is probably imprisoned at the raft, no one is insane to keep him in ravencroft.

Don't you normally collect good stuff that you like?

Comics are niche, bro. The biggest buyers are comic shops in bulk and collectors.

Holy shit, Marvel did the impossible, they made me cheer when the literally black guy takes the white woman and puts the white dude on the cuck chair.

I support an interracial couple over the alternative

wtf did they turn me woke?

At least Venom has history, and charisma, and also wants to have sex with Peter!!!

Looks suspiciously Irish

"White" woman

lol
lmao even

Walter Hardy's crippled ass wheelchairs in front of Ultimate Peter

Your halfwit son got my teenage daughter pregnant, Parker. And I want you to know...

...That was EXTREMELY based. My mullato daughter will finally give me the 3/4ths Caucasian grandchildren that her mother and I dreamed of the day I bleached her. Thank God you were a white man underneath that mask, even if your wife's genetics make her look suspiciously Irish...

This guy gets it.

We dunking on spider-bitch.

"I'm so proud of my big bro"

something about this version of venom just looks and acts weird. if this is what it takes to cuck that faggot paul I'll take it but I don't know how I feel about the way they're using him. not a biig fan of the piss highlights ether

PAUL WILL NEVER BE VENOM

Of course not, he's going to be Spider-Man.

I don't know how I feel about the symbiote itself being venom, even though the Venom in the past was the symbiote + Eddie. If the symbiote is now being called Venom, why is it called Venom? Because it likes the name?

cucked Harry

cucked Peter

cucked Paul

Watch your back Venom, it's only a matter of time with this slut.

You can, they did Millie the Model back in the day. They probably don't want to try without any established audience for that and don't have anyone good enough to pull it off anyway.

Ewing got bored and decided to cuck the shit out of Paul

Truly immortal

I don’t like it, but yeah, I remember a page of it saying it took Venom as its name.

That question was actually answered yesterday.

"Next up, Bizarnage has a solid question about naming: Hey, Jordan! Has there been any discussion on giving the Venom symbiote a name? I think back to how Michelinie, Remender, Costa, Cates, and others all had “Venom” being the entity that comprised the symbiote plus the host. Or are we sticking with “Venom” being the combined name and symbiote name? I love how less confusing newer symbiotes are making the naming conventions like Natasha + Sliver = Widow, Normie + Rascal = Red Goblin, and Kintaro + Clinter = Kid Venom.

Jordan: There has been discussion about the fact that Venom and Carnage are both the names of the symbiote AND the names of the combined entity…but I think it’s such an established thing that I think it would be more weird to change it at this point. In my mind, the large bulk of the symbiotes we all know stem from Venom, it was the first symbiote to become deeply bonded with a human…and I feel like it became more human the more that it became, and I think the more human it’s offspring became–not literally, but culturally and emotionally.

So when Venom bonded with Eddie, it didn’t understand the idea of itself having a self, it was just part of a bonded pair–hence “We are Venom.” But over time, the symbiote became more of a character on its own. And the later symbiotes started off more as their own characters.

So, yeah, I have thought about it, but I think Venom and Carnage are staying their names.

AIPT: If the name sticks, right Jordan?"

Dawg I don't think Paul is even going to be a fast-food worker.

Here's a new rare Paul variant for your Paul collection though, this one's my favorite.

MfwPaul.png - 198x282, 77.31K

Paul was just a means to an end
The point was just getting MJ away from Peter
What happened after, nobody cared. They just did the convoluted Paul storyline to axe it quickly

Any theories of how she and venom merged, because anon's 3 skull theory seems to have flopped after this issue and #6 preview, and Mary Jane and Venom are back to when Eddie and Venom were couldn't be separated without dying

This. I seriously don't get why people seem to forget that MJ dated like 2 or 3 people post-OMD aside from Peter.

And they've all been more or less treated the same, the only thing that makes Paul different is that he actually appears.

Paul will become the one true Spider-Man and the greatest hero in the multiverse.

it didn’t understand the idea of itself having a self

That's just not correct.

I mean, you could just call it suit or V? But, I get it for the sake of ease for people who don't care.

Why do you hate Spider-Man anon?

the only thing that makes Paul different

Also the fact they Peter and MJ were about to move in together before it
And Paul and MJ had fake kids
And the mystery box what happened bullshit

Mary Jane and Venom are back to when Eddie and Venom were couldn't be separated without dying

That's literally what the 3 skulls theory is.

There's hope for Paul as a superhero. Behold! Paul-man! After being bitten by a radioactive cuck-chair, Paul was forced to WATCH as Spider-Man's two great loves made GREAT LOVE with GREAT POWER with him WATCHING IN THE CORNER, thus turning him into THE HUMAN KEK CHAIR!

Paulchair.png - 752x536, 7.18K

My other?

This is the bizarre part, Paul would know if the skulls were rolled since he has the info on the bracer and can manipulate it from afar, Her powers were always a exchange coin to keep her with him.
And from we know now, the bracer simply broke at venom war after the arachnote, and since then he hasn't looked at it, and venom is transforming into the jackpot suit since then and only Flash Thompson the Anti-Venom and possibly Peter knows it.

What part of "Kill yourself" are you not getting?

So why does MJ call herself Venom? It's not like the user of the symbiote is locked into that name. Other people have had the Venom symbiote and not been called Venom. Why doesn't she just remain as Jackpot and make the symbiote look like her previous costume?

Was this before or after becoming a combination between IHNMAIMS' ending and foreverial tiedup delitized?

She's planning her escape from Paul.

Before, The radioactive chair bite was his first attempt at getting powers.

Because she lost her jackpot powers anon, she lost the shit paul gave her, or venom removed from her, or someone cut it off and she merged with him for survival.
All it is known is that #6 is where she seems to have become suspicious of Paul

I need the Bart/Homer chair meme but with Venom and Paul

doesn't mean she couldn't have played pretend with the Venom symbiote faux-mimicking the suit.

Other people have had the Venom symbiote and not been called Venom.

Wholly untrue.
The Mania symbiote is a clone of Venom previously bonded to Patricia Robertson that Venom ate and later regurgitated.

Anon, the symbiote is mimicking the jackpot suit since venom war, she left as jackpot but has been acting as venom for months.

bad example, sure. And there are way more people who have called themselves venom while wearing the suit than not, but I feel like my point still stands.

I laughed.

I laughed harder.

This is what Paul fears.
Things what we fans need.
Finally Marvel is healing

IMG_4994.jpg - 1222x1491, 1.37M

They gave up on the shit Jackpot gimmick already?

She is only popular due to her connection to Peter

She’s popular because she’s sexy as fuck!

IMG_5011.jpg - 1192x1769, 1.46M

Yeah, only the Polish child molester guy liked it, and you can't support an entire line on just one guy.

Randy Robertson is also connected to Peter, and he isn't popular lol

the Polish child molester

Roman Polanski?

an interesting theory from the venom subreddit

One idea I had is that maybe it was Jackpot's powers that caused it.

Maybe MJ tried to use her powers to stop the symbiote, and it gave her a fusion power or something similar. The problem is that since Venom was already in symbiosis with her, the power went into a glitch and united them indefinitely. Since this bond was more through magic than symbiosis, it would explain why MJ doesn't have a symbiote suit. It would also explain why they can't separate, and why Jackpot's powers apparently disappeared, and neither she nor Venom can use them. As such, the fusion power is still active. It also makes sense why this explanation "wouldn't please Jackpot."

Hearing that this whole problem is basically YOUR FAULT isn't something anyone accepts lightly, especially when Paul is acting in every way but not understanding. Even in a promotional panel, we see MJ as if she were sad while Paul was cooking seriously. Maybe she tried to seek help from him like, "You understand these powers, help me," but Paul decides not to.

It is paul's fault, also the cover shows Venom raising her jackpot arm by force.

Randy Robertson doesn't fuck Peter.

Cuz he doesn't do shit. If he decided to wear a costume after student protests weren't working, got into a misunderstanding fight with Spider-Man before teaming up to fight Kingpin or something and showing up whenever Spider-Man needed help, he'd be better received.

Oh no you don't get it. He's already popular, because he's connected to Peter

Alright we've alienated our fanbase by cucking their self insert. How do we get them back?

We cuck the guy who cucked their self insert, that'll get them to come back!

If you're still reading anything spiderman related and believe this is the coolest thing Marvel did in the past decade, then you lot deserve the next time your self insert jobs.

Worse, Gwenschizo.

if you are still here bitching over comics, you are a fat fuck from brazil off a dead lefty comic book blog by the name Melhores do Mundo and you had Dan Slott fucking your ass sideways

You'll never be Peter Parker.

Oh no no, you are mistaken. I only buy Ultimate. 616 only has value for me in opportunities to make our local child molester seethe.

Hi Porco Aranha.

Guys you need to forget about the marriage

btw here's a cover referencing the iconic marriage between Spider-Man and Mary Jane

Why? Why do they keep doing this?

Because Venom there is literally Spider-Man and Paul looks like Brevoort if no one hasn't noticed yet

What a happy couple, be a real shame if someone came along to wreck everything.

paul spiraling out and becoming the new carnage would be the dumbest shit I hope they do it

What about Eddie?

Wait, really? LOL

And I'm glad about that because that boy has always suffered a lot. But I enjoy his old comics, so cry about it

Anon Paul is Hellgate
Eddie will be carnage for a year or two since his, Peter and Mary Jane's arc are intertwined due to the Queen in Black, Peter being the real King in Black and He becoming the King in Crimson.

Carnage looks like he’s going to separate Venom and MJ to pimp them out at twice the profit
