Avengers, Venom, Amazing Spider-Man and More Bring 2019 Event To An End, With Next Challenge Revealed!

We open with more variant covers.

Plus the main cover.

Followed by a summary of what’s happened today as part of a creators’ credits page.

The book opens with Venom and Carnage at each others thoughts with the heroes seemingly on the ropes.

Carnage just has to kill Venom to bring the symbiote god Knull back!

They battle as do the heroes…

…when Dylan, Eddie Brock’s son who thinks he’s his brother, reveals he also has powers and he destroys a symbiote and its host?! He collapses into the arms of good kid and former Red Goblin Childe Normie Osborn aka villain Norman Osborn’s grandson.

Carnage taunts Venom, but…

…Venom slaughters Carnage!

All of Carnage’s codex symbiotes leave their hosts, but…

…its too late.

Despite Carnage seemingly being dead, Knull has returned!

The book ends with a tired Venom being found out by Dylan to being his father and not brother.

Next up is Venom #20 out on November 27, 2019 with more Sleeper symbiote.

The Pulse:

A high octane end that doesn’t feel like the end, but a beginning. Decent art. 7 out of 10.
