In Joe Quesada’s “Cup of Joe” on MySpace Comic Books last week, he got an interesting piece of mail from someone asking him a very special favor. Here’s what the message was:
Hey Joe, could you create a new symbiote character for Spider-Man to fight?
Joe’s reply?
…hmmm…let me think about it for a second.
Okay, you got it!
Apparently, he wasn’t kidding around. Coming to an Amazing Spider-Man comic near you this June is Anti-Venom! Wondering what the hell an Anti-Venom looks like? Take a peek and the latest member of the Marvel symbiote family:
Taking on this interesting new angle of the Spider-Man universe is none other than Dan Slott and the legend himself, John Romita Jr. With this team in the driver’s seat, you know it’s going to be one hell of a ride. Slott’s opening arc in the Brand New Day saga was arguably the best so far in the newly launched series and when he’s paired up with JRJR, it can only get better.
In addition to this already blockbuster revelation, EW.com unveiled a photo of the summer Spider-Man comics that shows photos of not only Spider-Man but Mary Jane, Venom, Anti-Venom and a special mystery person who is standing at the grave of Kraven The Hunter. Here’s the photo for those curious people out there that originally appeared on EW.com’s website:

Frenemy Eddie Brock, possibly still cancer-ridden, is back, as is Norman Osborn, better known as mad-genius nemesis the Green Goblin. Meanwhile, on the home front, Mary Jane Watson is in the house, so to speak. (From EW.com)
