The Amazing Venom # 1 1:25 Incentive Stephen Segovia Variant 2026 BN

A "1:25 Variant" is an incentive variant cover for a comic book that a retailer can order from the publisher. The "1:25" refers to the ratio of regular copies a store must order to qualify for a single copy of that special cover.

The Amazing Venom #1 2026 is the debut issue of a 5-issue Marvel Comics limited miniseries that serves as a direct, cosmic fallout spin-off to the massive Queen in Black crossover event. Despite the name, the series features a surprising new host in a striking red-and-blue symbiote suit.

Core Plot & Synopsis

The story picks up right after the planetary war involving the Asgardian death goddess Hela and the symbiote god Knull.

• A New Persona: The series stars Fred Myers—the fan-favorite Spider-Man villain-turned-vigilante formerly known as Boomerang.
• The New Symbiote: Having bonded with a unique symbiote named Passenger, Fred now operates under the new superhero moniker Comeback. As noted by users on Reddit who discussed the announcement, the "Venom" title is largely branding, as Passenger isn't directly related to Eddie Brock's traditional symbiote.
• The Cosmic Quest: Fred originally wanted to keep his life simple and avoid the symbiote war entirely. Instead, he and Passenger find themselves pulled into a highly complicated, high-stakes cosmic mission as they attempt to chart a course for Klyntar—the symbiote homeworld.
