A new threat emerges in VENOM WAR, in the form of symbiotes that can raise the dead and corrupt the living - Zombiotes!

As the two Venoms face off, a darker strain of symbiote has slithered across New York City — one that can reanimate the dead and turn the living into an engine of mindless hunger with just one bite! That’s right: zombie symbiotes, making symbiote zombies! And you thought they liked eating brains before! An unlikely team — led by She-Hulk, Hellcat and Shocker — could be humanity’s only hope! Plus: What will become of the deadly Black Widow and her even more lethal symbiote in the Venom War? And as the horde of Zombiotes descends on Hell’s Kitchen, the two Daredevils must rise up to stand as the last line of defense — but will they be enough to stem the tide, or will their brains be first on the menu?
