Shortly before the symbiote, invasion the protector of the stargate, who happened to be a symbiote very similar to venom, meddled with the stargate switching it on. This allowed the being known as Rune to enter the marvel universe. Rune kills the symbiotes host but the symbiote forces itself on rune. Sometime later, in symbiote invasion venom became a traitor and killed many other symbiotes to protect earth at spiderman's side along with a hero known as the scarlet spider. Upon seeing this, the symbiote who became one with rune set out to punish the traitor by commiting sever ghastley murders and leaving venom's name on the nearest walls with the victom's blood. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents set out and in a brief battle with venom accidentally give away all the imformation of the killer. Venom searches for the killer and meets him. The symbiotic rune easily overpowers venom, poisons him with a bite into his neck and tells him that he will suffer by watching his mate, Ann Weying, die at his hand and then that he will die and departs. Now a weakened venom must batlle both the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and a symbiotic god. Just on question: how can anyone manage that?

NEW SERIES! A perfect future of intergalactic travel and community. Every newly discovered planet is unified culturally through a monolithic structure known as the Galactic Relay. Although the towering monument is meant to inspire conformity of ideas, technology, and progress – many resent the foreign structure. Jad Carter, a Relay employee, must keep the peace and act as an emissary to new civilizations. But when he finds the Relay's mythological creator, Hank Donaldson, his idea of reality and the universe shatters. Equal parts The Fifth Element and Philip K Dick, and directly springboarding off the previously released Free Comic Book Day RELAY #0, this series is an exploration of monoculture, identity, and the deceptive nature of legend set in a thriving future where humanity forcibly assimilates new worlds. Written by Zac Thomspon (Cable, The Dregs, HER INFERNAL DESCENT), with art by Andy Clarke (REPLICA, Batman), and a story conceived by Zac Thompson, Eric Bromberg (PESTILENCE) and Donny Cates (BABYTEETH, Dr. Strange, Thanos, Venom, God Country), this powerhouse of a series that HAD to be told at AfterShock!
