Today’s episode is a big one for symbiote fans, as we’re joined by Jordan D. White, editor on Venom and more, to talk about everything from Mary Jane’s evolution as Venom to the massive Spider-Symbiote event Death Spiral kicking off 2026 in a big way.
This is the full, uncut version of Venom Unleashed #15, where Jordan dives deep into the thinking behind MJ as the most heroic Venom yet, teases the terrifying new villain Torment, breaks down how Venom and Amazing Spider-Man are colliding for the event, and even settles—once and for all—whether Buddies is better than Friends.
If you’re following Venom or gearing up for Death Spiral, this is one you don’t want to miss.
