Marvel Comics has announced that they will celebrate Free Comic Book Day this year with not one, not two, but three Free Comic one-shots. Each will reportedly offer readers new and old exciting entry points into some of Marvel's biggest upcoming stories and characters.

Last week, we learned that Spider-Man is gearing up for a new era in time for his 60th anniversary, and in Free Comic Book Day: Spider-Man/Venom #1, we'll see the very beginning of the major storylines writer Zeb Wells and legendary artist John Romita Jr. have planned for their run on Amazing Spider-Man. That includes Tombstone’s first steps towards becoming Spidey’s most terrifying villain.

The issue will also give fans a chance to check out the thought-provoking work Al Ewing, Ram V, and Bryan Hitch are doing on Venom. It's promised that "the groundbreaking changes" this mastermind trio has in store for the symbiote mythos will start here, so we're definitely intrigued.

More announcements are said to be incoming, but what we do know is that these comics will be available starting May 7. We'll keep you updated between now and then, but in the meantime, some spectacular artwork has been revealed by Romita Jr. and Hitch.

You can check that out below:

Sometimes his art is "flat"... this a prime example.

@SKetCH - It’s like dude doesn’t know basic anatomical perspective. How does this kinda thing get a thumbs up? “Do you want crazy Rob Liefeld perspective? Because this is how you get crazy Rob Liefeld perspective, people!”

@SKetCH - Yeah, agreed; was a big fan of his early 2000s run of Spidey though.

@blacksocksdaily - I really enjoy his artstyle. It’s really distinct and his “blocky” artstyle is unique. But I agree with you about the way he draws human anatomy. There’s nothing wrong with exaggeration and stylization as long as you still mostly adhere to human anatomy

Why is Venom so slim in the first cover? Did they make Eddie's son the new Venom?

Romita Jr has got to stop drawing. Why does Marvel keep using him? the last time his art was worth looking at was in the mid 90's.
and enough with the tongue.
