Today, Marvel Comics released the above cover art by Taigami for the debut issue of Kid Venom. Taigami, an acclaimed Manga creator, will write and draw the new four-part miniseries which debuts in April 17th, but you can read more about the character in the recently released Kid Venom: Origins. That issue collects the previous Death of the Venomverse stories where Kid Venom first appeared last year.

For more about the upcoming miniseries, Marvel shared the following:

Hailing from 10th century Japan, Kid Venom is a young hero named Kintaro who protected his village from mysterious symbiote attacks by embracing a symbiote of his very own! After bonding with a new symbiote entity dubbed Clinter, Kintaro unleashed his wild new abilities as Kid Venom! Now, Kid Venom’s world will be expanded dramatically with new characters and dangers, all culminating in his highly-anticipated arrival in present day 616!

"It is an honor. I was a big fan of the Marvel Universe since I was in school, so this feels unreal that the characters and the stories that I came up with are in that Universe, and I still can’t believe it!" Taigami shared.
