As Eddie Brock, Dylan Brock, and Peter Parker all battle one another for ownership of the Venom symbiote, the rest of New York City has to try and survive as a horde of Zombiotes descend upon the city.

The Agony Symbiote Finally Finds A New Host: Silver Sable
One Of Many “Venom War” Surprises
It seems that Silver Sable isn’t the only one to get a symbiote either, as the solicitation calls out that Silver Sable’s mercenary group, the Wild Pack, all become symbiote hosts.
The Agony symbiote is one of the many Life Foundation symbiotes that were forcefully created from the Venom symbiote. Since then, the Agony symbiote has found itself several different hosts, including Leslie Gesneria and Gemma Shin. It seems that for whatever reason, the Agony symbiote needs a new host, and it’s chosen Silver Sable as the next one. This could be exactly the power boost that Silver Sable needs to handle the Zombiote invasion, but whether Silver Sable will be able to remove the Agony symbiote later remains to be seen.
It seems that Silver Sable isn’t the only one to get a symbiote either, as the solicitation calls out that Silver Sable’s mercenary group, the Wild Pack, all become symbiote hosts. These were already some of the most deadly soldiers on the planet, and with symbiotes, they’ll become even more dangerous. While the Zombiotes pose a significant threat to New York City, if Silver Sable and the Wild Pack lose themselves to these new symbiotes, they might become an even bigger threat to New York.
With Silver Sable leading her very own Wild Pack full of symbiotes, it’s likely that they just became one of the most powerful mercenary groups in the Marvel Universe.
Venom

Initially a Spider-Man villain due to its origins, Venom evolved into an antihero, battling both villains and his own dark impulses.
