'Venom': Marvel unveils new variant covers - gallery

Marvel Comics has unveiled new Venom variant covers.

The covers - showing various characters infected with the alien symbiote - will appear across its comics line to celebrate the 'Venom: Circle of Four' event.

Running in the pages of Rick Remender's Venom title, Jeff Parker and Rob Williams will also be writing the story which runs through issues #13, #13.1, #13.2, #13.3, #13.4 and #14.

"Kicking off February with a bang, Venom makes unholy alliances with Red Hulk, Ghost Rider and X-23 to save Sin City, Las Vegas, from total chaos in 'Venom: Circle of Four'," said Marvel.

"Then, just as Rick Remender and Gabriel Hardman take the reins as the new creative team of Secret Avengers, they draft Venom to the team's lineup."

The Venom variant covers will appear throughout January.
