Venom Reading Order

by 32 Comments

By popular demand, a complete Venom reading order, from his origins to Maximum Carnage, to Venom’s space-faring role with the Guardians of the Galaxy, to the Venomverse event and beyond! Get to know Spider-Man’s most venomous villain!

the origins of venom

I) The Birth of Venom

A few notes about this section. There is some overlap in the available trade collections for the issues of Spider-Man in which Venom first appears. For example, “The Birth of Venom” includes the first Amazing Spider-Man issues in which Spidey and Venom battle, but it also includes backstory for the black suit all the way to its origins in Secret Wars. Of course if you’re reading on Marvel Unlimited, this won’t be an issue.

Additionally, “Venom: Dark Origin” is the only series on here published during the 2000’s. Although it was published much later, the story deals with the origins of Venom, and can be read closer to his original appearances in Spider-Man.

Spider-Man: Birth of Venom

Secret Wars #8, Amazing Spider-Man #252-259, #298-300 & #315-317, Fantastic Four #274 And Web Of Spider-Man #1

The “Birth of Venom” collection covers the essentials, but if you want the full ride of the Symbiote suit and Spider-Man, I recommend the below collection:

Venom reading order will not quite double as a complete Carnage reading order, but because Venom and Carnage are so closely related, you will find plenty of Carnage included here, notably Maximum Carnage.

Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage

Amazing Spider-Man #378-380, Spectacular Spider-Man #201-203, Spider-Man #35-37, Spider-Man Unlimited #1 And #2, And Web Of Spider-Man #101-103

III) A Venom for the 21st Century

Not necessarily the beast Venom stories on our list, but the Marvel Knights Spider-Man from Mark Millar in particular has a big influence on the status quo of Venom. The individual inside the symbiote will feel a bit confusing if you skip over this section!

Venom By Daniel Way Ultimate Collection

Venom #1 – #18

Spider-Man: Venom vs. Carnage

#1 – #4

Marvel Knights Spider-Man Ultimate Collection

#5 – #12

Civil War

I’ll be clear that Civil War is in no way a Venom story, but it does include the sinister symbiote and sets up his status during the following section. You’ll want a passing familiarity with the core Civil War story.

IV) Venom and the Thunderbolts

Some of the most interesting Venom stories stem from his unexpected time as one of the “heroic” Thunderbolts. Following the events of Secret Invasion, this leads to an even more intriguing period of Venom as a part of the Dark Avengers.

Thunderbolts By Warren Ellis & Mike Deodato

#110 – #121

#122 – #125 (Secret Invasion reading order)

Spider-Man: Anti-Venom

Dark Reign: Anti-Venom #1-3, Extra #2

Siege: Spider-Man One Shot

#1

V) An All-New Venom From Spider-Man’s Past

One of the greatest, and perhaps most unexpected turns in Venom’s existence. This is my personal favorite section of Venom comics, and I won’t spoil anything here by saying exactly what happens!

Spider-Man: Big Time Ultimate Collection

#654 & #654.1

Venom, Vol. 1

#1 – #5

Spider-Man: Spider-Island

Amazing Spider -Man 666-673, Venom 6-9, Spider -Island : Deadly Foes , material from Amazing Spider -Man 659-660, 662-665, Spider-Island Spotlight

Note that following 2017’s Venom #6, Venom returned to its legacy series numbering with issue #150. So although the series appears to skip 144 issues, don’t worry, that’s just renumbering.

Venom Vol. 4: The Nativity

Collects: Venom 161, 164-165

VIII) Venom by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman!

Venom by Donny Cates Vol. 1: Rex

Collects: Venom (2018) 1-5

Critically lauded (and deservedly so), Donny Cates’ run on Venom has injected fresh life into our favorite Symbiote-user Eddie Brock.

Taking some hefty pages out of Alan Moore’s “Anatomy Lesson,” Donny Cates reimagines and reinvigorates Venom and the Symbiote lore, making it fresh and exciting and mythological, tying the Symbiote to a before-unseen cosmic space god named Knull.

The “Rex” storyline offers a great jumping on point for Venom fans new and old, building on the foundation of what came before it while filtering Venom through an exciting new lens.

From “Rex” to 2020’s King in Black, Cates has built a Marvel epic for the ages. Highest possible recommendation!

I’d recommend reading Web Of Venom: Ve’Nam #1 and Venom Annual #1 after Venom #5.

Amazing Spider-Man Annual (2018)

Collects: Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1 (2018)

Flashback issue written by Saladin Ahmed, looking back at the time immediately after Peter Parker found the symbiote on Battleworld. You could conceivably read this in line with the 80’s symbiote discovery, but obviously it’s written (quite well) with the benefit of hindsight.

Venom Vol. 2: The Abyss

Collects: Venom (2018) 7-12

Following the world-shattering revelations of “Rex”, “The Abyss” sees Eddie Brock face his traumatic past and his troubling relationship with his father.

Writer Donny Cates gives us a deeply personal story here, as “The Abyss” shows us a deep, harrowing dive into Eddie Brock, furthering the epic scope of Cates’ Venom story by giving us a deep dive into Eddie’s psyche.

Venom Unleashed Vol. 1

Read the two collections above in the following order:

  • Venom #6-8
  • Web Of Venom: Carnage Born #1
  • Venom #9
  • Web Of Venom: Unleashed #1
  • Venom #10 to #12
  • Web of Venom: Cult of Carnage #1

Venom: War of the Realms

Collects: Venom #13 to #16

Read in the following order —

  • Venom #13 to #15
  • Free Comic Book Day (2019): Spider-Man
  • Venom #16
  • Web of Venom: Funeral Pyre #1

Absolute Carnage

For the full reading order and all tie-ins, check out Comic Book Herald’s guide to Absolute Carnage.

Venom One-Shots:

Web of Venom: Wraith

The Wraith one-shot sets up King in Black and occurs shortly after the conclusion of Absolute Carnage.

Venom Annual (2019) #1

Venom: The End (2020)

Web of Venom: The Good Son #1

“The Good Son” takes place more or less in line with Venom #21, but I’d recommend reading all three of these before starting “Venom Island.”

Venom by Donny Cates Vol. 4: Venom Island

Collects: Venom #21 to #25

Free Comic Book Day: Spider-Man (2020)

The “Venom” story introduces Virus and occurs directly before Venom #26.

Venom by Donny Cates Vol. 5: Venom Beyond

Collects: Venom #26 to #30

King in Black

    Just found a new one published last year wondering where you would fit in this collection order?

    I would also add ASM #574 before Flash’s time as Venom! Its Guggenheim and Kitson telling the story of how Flash lost his legs (and inspired by true events).

    Reading through the Rick Remender Run (I came late to the party) I want to read the Cullen Bunn run that leads to Minimum Carnage but all of his tpbs are out of print. Any idea if they’re going to do a collected edition for his run like they did with Remender’s?

    Also just stumbled across this last night, VERY EXCITED!!

    Thanks a ton, Patrick
    I’ll be sorting through your order for a while

    I’m pretty positive with what I have for Flash Thompson but there are probably a bunch I’m missing. He’s also not in all those Guardians of the Galaxy issues, he leaves in the middle of one of the volumes to do Space Knight. I don’t know which volume though cause I haven’t read them yet but I’m pretty sure it’s volume 3.

    Hi Taylor,
    I too have been making a list (kinda important to me too lol). Basically what I have so far is every venom appearance in story line order (flashback sput before type stuff). So far i’m up through Venom Vol2 then not quite sure after that. It’s kinda long but here’s what I have in storyline order. Prepare yourself, it’s a long list… any additional help is apprecciated, as I’m still working on the list.
    Thanks,
    -Pat

      Hi Taylor,
      I too have been making a list (kinda important to me too lol). Basically what I have so far is every venom appearance in story line order (flashback sput before type stuff). So far i’m up through Venom Vol2 then not quite sure after that. It’s kinda long but here’s what I have in storyline order. Prepare yourself, it’s a long list… any additional help is apprecciated, as I’m still working on the list.
      Thanks,
      -Pat

    Also web of spider-man 1, 18 and 24 after ff 274 but before ASM 298-300 correct?
    Chronologically, under “Birth of Venom” shouldn’t it go:
    Secret wars 8
    ASM 259-259
    FF 274
    WOS 1, 18, 24
    ASM 298-300
    ASM 315-317
    (WOS 18 eddie brock/venom pushes peter onto train tracks, 24 grabs Peter’s leg from a window and causes him to fall…)

    While I do see Lethal Protector is present is there a reason why a lot of the Venom mini-series occuring throughout the 90’s isn’t included? Stuff like The Enemy Within, The Mace, Along Came A Spider, etc. seems to be missing. Are these just considered non-canon or are they in one of the collected editions listed here and I’m just missing it?

    I’m trying to get into this series using this guide. I have Birth of Venom. From your trade break down it seems that that trade has the same issues that are in Spiderman vs Venom. Is that correct so I would be able to skip that trade? Thanks.
