This past weekend was the C2E2 Comic Convention held in Chicago, Illinois and at the event Marvel held a panel featuring Donny Cates where it was announced that the upcoming Marvel Free Comic Book Day book written by Cates, FCBD Spider-Man / Venom #1 – would introduce an all new character into the Marvel Universe.

Meet Virus – The first appearance of this character will be in the FCBD comic book released on May 2, which will lead into Venom #26 – where this new character is featured prominently on the cover. This book has been pre-selling online for up to $10. This character has a very Franken-Castle look to him – what are the bandages holding up exactly and who is under the mask?

Final Order Cutoff was a few months ago for this book so retailers will be unable to order more of this Free Comic Book Day offering. Venom #26 can still be ordered online for under cover price. TFAW has both covers available at 30% off. You can purchase the Cover A here or the Cover B “Dark Marvel Variant” here.

What do you think about this new character? Is this going to be another flash in the pan book like last year’s FCBD Maximum Carnage book? Let me know in the comments or on social media!
