Things to know
Collecting rule: Acquire both lean finale paperbacks, then interleave their issues at the documented checkpoint; do not add the tie-in-heavy Venom War Omnibus.
Edition note: Eight numbered Venom paperbacks connect to the Venom War core. Venom (2021) #21 remains a separate reading checkpoint.
- Venom (2021) #21 is covered by the earlier reading checkpoint rather than presented as a physical book.
- Venom Vol. 8 and Venom War interleave issue by issue, as shown in the reading checkpoints.
