Marvel shocked fans when they announced that Mary Jane Watson would face the Venom coat. However, it seems that the publisher has not finished delivering symbiote guest twists and turns. Their latest revealer teases which retro character should become the most recent host of the toxin symbiote, adding another unexpected layer to symbiote mythology in constant evolution of Marvel.
Al Ewing, Carlos Gómez and Frank d’Armata come back with the last chapter for their blows Brand new venom The series as number 10 published on September 3, 2025. Although this date is still in a few days, Marvel provided an early overview, giving fans an overview of what to expect the highly anticipated number.
Although the series was mainly focused on Mary Jane Watson, it also followed Rick Jones and Flash Thompson when they helped the symbiotes of toxin and sleeping to escape the captivity of Scar, an anti-symbiote agency. Now, however, it seems that their mission is not over. With toxin in critical condition, his next surprising host could prove to be Rick Jones himself.

Brand new venom # 10 Find Rick, Flash, Sleeper and Toxin in difficulty when toxin, using Flash as a host, is forced to leave your body. The anti-venom in the flash system is toxic to other symbiotes, leaving toxin without host and in critical condition. Without any way to survive a long time, the life of the symbiote begins to quickly move away.
The toxin twists on the ground in agony, leaving Rick Panicked. When he asks if the symbiote will go well, Sleeper explains that the toxin will not be without intervention. While the body of Flash briefly stabilized it, the anti-venom prevented the host from producing the needs of chemical toxins. Without a new host, the symbiote will die from hunger to death in a few minutes.
In desperation, Flash rushes for solutions, suggesting a quick trip to buy chocolate because it contains chemical toxin. The sleeper quickly rejects the idea, explaining that only fresh phenethylamine can maintain the symbiote alive. With the exhausting time and no other option remains, the realization goes out on the group: Rick may have to become the new Host of Toxin.

After the sleeper rejected the idea of chocolate, Rick insists that there must be another way of saving the symbiote. Sleeper replies that there are, but reminds him that he has already refused the option, something she respects. It clearly refers to Rick’s reluctance to host a symbiote again. The overview ends with this exchange, leaving the alleged readers.
Although the overview does not confirm Rick’s decision, it seems more likely that he agrees to become the host of Toxin. It is difficult to imagine that Rick allows the symbiote to die, knowing that he could save him. Consequently, he almost feels that Rick will soon join Venom’s Symbiote crew constantly increasing as the new Host of Toxin.
