It seems kind of silly but Kid Venom #1 is coming and I’m sure a lot will eat this one up. I do like the cover though… except the tongue! Can we stop already with the tongue when it comes to Venom all you artists out there? Just getting a little ridiculous now… Kid Venom Origins #1 is out this coming week on January 3rd.

Kid Venom #1 (Gerardo Sandoval Foil Variant) – Everyone loves Foil, especially D-Rog… he’s a sucker though!

Vengeance of the Moon Knight #3 if you haven’t been paying attention clearly indicates and hints there’s someone else as Moon Knight, not Marc Spector. So this series is a must I think for any Moon Knight fan.

Vengeance of Moon Knight #4 is also in this months Previews. Really digging the regular cover art for this series so far. The Finch cover for Vengeance of the Moon Knight #2 is absolutely amazing!

Vengeance of Moon Knight #4That’s all I got. Lots of other issues coming out from Marvel from January Previews but none really stand out. I’m sure there might be a few surprises here and there but most of them look like ongoing reader books.
