Silver Symbiote! The Agony symbiote chooses its next host—Silver Sable! The new Wild Pack becomes a terrifying and lethal Symbiote Squad to stop the monstrous horde of Zombiotes spreading like a plague across NYC—with extreme prejudice! But can Sable and her alien partner still be trusted?! And what dangerous secret rests within their mysterious cargo? |
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. Outmatched by the ravenous hordes, it seems Silver Sable will need some extra help by turning to the Agony symbiote and becoming the newest symbiote host in the Marvel Universe.

Epic Venom War Trailer Sees Marvel’s Symbiotes Enter the Ring for the Ultimate Wrestling Match
A new trailer for Marvel’s Venom War event sees Eddie Brock enter a wrestling ring and call out his son to face him in the ultimate symbiote showdown.
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
Venom is a symbiotic alien entity bonded with various human hosts, notably Eddie Brock and later Flash Thompson. It grants superhuman strength, agility, and a shape-shifting black costume. Initially a Spider-Man villain due to its origins, Venom evolved into an antihero, battling both villains and his own dark impulses. The character embodies themes of duality and redemption within the Marvel Universe.

With Silver Sable becoming the host to the Agony symbiote, this will be be a major change for her character; readers have seen just how deadly symbiote soldiers can be in previous appearances. 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.
