KEEP THEIR TEETH OFF YOUR FLESH!

The Venom War is making strange bedfellows as hero and villain alike have to fight off the menace of hungry zombiotes, eager to bite and spread onto all – living and dead! She-Hulk, Hellcat, Shocker and more are among those striving to stay alive…and unbonded!

The use of dark reds mirrored through a puddle on a cobblestone street amplifies just how horrifying the situation is as a new type of zombie invasion plagues the Marvel multiverse.

She-Hulk's New Venom Form Proves How Powerful Marvel's New Zombies Are

Not Even She Can Withstand Their Control

Perhaps the most horrific aspect of this new form for She-Hulk is what it means going forward for Marvel's new take on zombies. The way she's drawn shows a complete lack of control as she listlessly stares ahead while the symbiote does all the work for her. She appears to be caught in a trance with no hope of waking up. She's essentially become a puppet for the zombiotes as she moves forward with no way to stop herself, leading an army of other zombies to infect everyone they can find.

She-Hulk is often regarded by fans as one of the strongest female heroes in the Marvel universe, so if she can't fight back against the zombiotes, then there's no hope for anyone.

Plus, knowing how strong She-Hulk is, her inability to fight back against the zombiote controlling her proves just how powerful these creatures are. She-Hulk is often regarded by fans as one of the strongest female heroes in the Marvel universe, so if she can't fight back against the zombiotes, then there's no hope for anyone. This artwork depicting She-Hulk's new form is the ultimate depiction of what a powerful symbiote can do as it deprives heroes of their personality and overcomes their strengths to add to their growing numbers.

The Zombiotes Could Be a Greater Threat Than The Original Marvel Zombies

Nothing Stands in Their Way, Living or Dead

With powerful heroes unable to hold back zombiote forces as depicted by Juan Ferreyra's cover art, it's clear that these new zombies could be a greater threat to the Marvel multiverse than the original Marvel Zombies. The latter creatures essentially worked the same way as traditional zombies do, consuming flesh and transforming anyone they bite. However, the zombiotes work a little differently. They actually pose a massive threat to all, regardless if they're alive or dead, by spreading the zombified symbiote to anyone the host bites. This makes the zombiote a far more terrifying threat than their earlier counterparts because they can consume any character, even if they've already become a zombie themselves.

By placing She-Hulk square in the center of this cover art, it's a brilliant way to show how apocalyptic a zombiote invasion would be. They're absolutely horrific in the way they make puppets out of their hosts, and with the ability to take over people both living and dead, they're more than capable of being the deadliest zombie-like creatures in the Marvel Universe. Of course, it all starts with She-Hulk, and this new form paints a terrifying future for those who come face-to-face with the new symbiote invasion.

Venom War: Zombiotes #3 will be available October 30 from Marvel Comics!
