When last we left the red-and-blue be-symbioted Fred Myers--formerly BOOMERANG, now COMEBACK--he was trying to keep his life uncomplicated. The last thing he wanted was to get caught up in the symbiote nonsense of Hela and Knull's war over Earth...but the best laid plans of saps and symbiotes often go awry. Now, in the fallout, Fred and his symbiote, Passenger, find themselves on a mission way, way, WAY more complicated than your average Venorang can handle!

Sep 30, 2026Surprisingly funny and sweet, The Amazing Venom #1 is a debut issue that, while exposition-heavy, is bolstered by the fun chemistry of its two leads. Read Full Review

Sep 30, 2026What sold me is Fred himself. He’s not pretending to be Peter Parker. He’s not Eddie Brock. He’s not trying to inherit some grand Venom mythology crown. He’s Fred freaking Myers, a former C-list villain trying to hold onto a decent life while cosmic nonsense keeps knocking on his door. That gives The Amazing Venom its own lane. Jordan Morris brings genuine heart and some sneaky mature themes underneath the jokes, Luke Ross delivers crisp superhero storytelling, David Curiel makes the symbiote chaos visually sing, and Clayton Cowles keeps the whole noisy thing moving without losing the reader. Marvel has made a lot of symbiote comics. This one already feels like it has a reason to exist. Read Full Review

Sep 30, 2026Even though The Amazing Venom #1 lacks its titular character, its cheeky tone and light-hearted central duo make for a surprisingly fun read. Read Full Review

Oct 07, 2026The Amazing Venom #1 isn't your typical symbiote story, mainly because Venom isn't in it! But beyond that, the relationship between Fred Myers—formerly known as Boomerang—and Passenger is worth exploring. Fred’s desire to leave a normal life with Passenger and go on a space adventure isn't necessarily groundbreaking. Still, Jordan Morris's writing gives it new spring and makes it interesting enough. This starter issue tells us where we are going next: into space to find a peace of heaven for Passenger, or to finally find the love of Fred’s life… or at least a new Townhouse he can call his own.
