Venom's ax from the King in Black has not been seen since that event's conclusion, but now it returns in a stunning variant cover for Venom 23.
Venom’s ultimate form can be seen wielding Marvel’s most powerful weapon in an all-new piece of official art. Eddie Brock has ascended to the role of King in Black, a title he obtained by defeating the previous King, Knull. A dark and powerful god, Knull nearly beat Venom, but thanks to one of the most powerful weapons ever seen in the Marvel Universe, Eddie got the upper hand. Now, this mighty weapon is returning in a variant cover for Venom #23.
The cover for Venom #23 is by Ryan Stegman and JP Mayer. Ryan Stegman will be familiar to Venom fans–along with writer Donny Cates, Stegman was one of the architects of the King in Black event, helping create Knull and Dylan Brock, two of the event's most prominent players. The cover shows Venom, eyes and body glowing, swinging into battle, wielding the same ax he used against Knull at the conclusion of the King in Black; the ax is glowing as well.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Venom's Ax Was the Start of Something Big The arrival of Stegman and Cates on Venom marked a turning point in the character’s development, starting him on a path to godhood. Their run first introduced fans to Knull the King in Black. The dark god of the symbiotes, Knull waged war on the universe, killing and enslaving deities.
Venom's Ultimate Weapon May Be Too Powerful Venom’s ultra-powerful ax, which never received a proper name, has not been seen since the end of the King in Black event, perhaps because it is too powerful. The ax combined three of the most powerful forces in the Marvel Universe into one: the Enigma Force, Mjolnir and the Silver Surfer’s surfboard. Each of these on its own is formidable enough, but when combined, they create a weapon so powerful it was able to kill a primal force such as Knull.
The Marvel Universe is jam packed with powerful weapons, such as the Infinity Gauntlet, the Ultimate Nullifier and the Cosmic Cube–all of which are capable of striking down cosmic beings. Venom's ax from the King in Black event is composed of three powerful forces and easily in the same league as these other super weapons–and it may be even more powerful.
