The iconic returns as one of Marvel’s most beloved anti-heroes are back with a brand new take on the classic Lethal Protector series from the fantastic team of writer David Michelinie and artist Ivon Fiorelli and Ken Lashley.
Long before Venom was the well-known symbiotic hero that we know him as now, he was a reporter who couldn’t catch a break, as Michelinie takes readers back to the early days of Eddie Brock as the host of the symbiote.

Perhaps the most anticipated of this week in comics, veteran Wolverine writer Larry Hama makes his long-awaited return to the iconic character as Wolverine: Patch takes on the character in a brand new way with artist Andrea Di Vitto.
Patch is back, and he is returning to Madripoor, as Hama takes the character back to before his initial run on the character began, in a story that will include not one, but two, eye patches.
Devil’s Reign: Villains for Hire #3

Marvel’s biggest event of the past two years continues with the latest inclusion in the Devil’s Reign arc, Villians for Hire, by writer Clay Chapman and artist Manuel Garcia.
Wilson Fisk’s firm grasp on New York has led to the city’s continued plunging into all-out mayhem, with The THunderbolts standing as the only law left; but some of these ‘Bolts see this lawlessness as an opportunity to cash in.
