Venom: The Hunted #3

Venom: The Hunted #3, published in 1996, serves as the final installment in a three-part miniseries centered on Eddie Brock and his symbiote. Emerging during a period of peak popularity for the character in the mid-nineties, the series was produced by Marvel Comics to capitalize on Venom's transition from a villain to a lethal protector, pitting him against the militaristic and technologically advanced Jury. The narrative explores the internal and external conflicts defining the character during this era of complex anti-hero storytelling.

The creative direction for this series was led by writer Larry Hama, known for his gritty, tactical approach to characters, with artwork by Joe St. Pierre. The visual style reflects the dynamic, high-contrast aesthetic typical of Marvel's 1990s output, emphasizing the exaggerated, monstrous physicality of the symbiote. The issue was received as a standard entry in the expanded Venom mythos of the time, serving to further flesh out the ongoing lore established by the character's breakout success in the previous years.
