Taking on a new mission as a Space Knight, Venom swashbuckles his way across the universe, helping the helpless and punishing the violent - until he's made to fight in an alien arena! Flash faces one surprising enemy when his symbiotic relationship with his Klyntar becomes one of hunter and prey - and then another as he returns to Earth just in time for CIVIL WAR II and a showdown with one of his oldest friends! Get ready for Venom vs. Spider-Man like you've never seen it before! Collecting VENOM (2011) #36-42 and VENOM: SPACE KNIGHT #1-13.
Writer Cullen Bunn first worked in comics with artist Brian Hurtt on Oni Press’s The Damned and its follow-up, The Damned: Prodigal Sons, as well as The Sixth Gun. Now one of Marvel’s leading talents, he has co-written Captain America with Ed Brubaker and Venom with Rick Remender, whom he later succeeded as writer, and assembled the fan-favorite, all-female Fearless Defenders. Bunn launched Magneto into his own series for All-New Marvel NOW!, then made him the star of a darker-than-ever Uncanny X-Men roster. Bunn has joined the ranks of iconic Deadpool writers with a diverse range of limited series featuring the Merc with a Mouth and the ongoing Deadpool & the Mercs for Money.

Robbie Thompson is a comic-book and TV writer. His TV credits include the sci-fi hit Supernatural on The CW, The New Woody Wood Pecker Show for Cartoon Network, Human Target for Fox and The Cape for NBC. He also wrote Ark, an original science-fiction series, for Oni Press that was then developed into a web series by 60 Frames Studios. Thompson is writer of the Marvel Comics series Silk.

Artist Pepe Larraz penciled Spider-Island: The Amazing Spider-Girl and pitted ’90s rivals against each other in Deadpool vs. X-Force. Larraz worked on titles including Wolverine & the X-Men, Uncanny Avengers, Avengers and the Star Wars: Kanan before proving himself among the industry’s finest talents with House of X. His thrilling artwork made him the ideal illustrator for the blockbuster 2021 relaunch of X-Men with writer Gerry Duggan.

Kim Jacinto honed his skills as a conceptual artist. Since breaking into comics, the Filipino artist has illustrated Venom, Indestructible Hulk, Carnage Annual and Thunderbolts for Marvel. Angela, Queen of Hel is his longest Marvel run so far.

Jorge Coelho studied graphic arts and communication at the António Arroio School of Arts before becoming a professional freelance illustrator. His work at Marvel includes Venom with writer Cullen Bunn and Loki: Agent of Asgard with Al Ewing. Outside of Marvel, he is known for his work on Polarity and Suicide Risk from Boom! Studios, for which he has also drawn John Flood and Sleepy Hollow, the latter based on the hit TV series.
