Get ready for the latest exclusives from the upcoming New York Comic Con, because they’re sure to set off spider-senses everywhere! Limited to only 600 pieces, the DST-exclusive Marvel Icons Symbiote Spider-Man bust depicts the friendly neighborhood wall-crawler’s black costume – a look returning for the “Back in Black” comic event!

Originally found by Spider-Man during the classic “Secret Wars” storyline, Spidey’s all-black duds marked the first radical redesign of the friendly wall-crawler’s costume since its debut. While the alien costume’s true origin may be shrouded in mystery, its connection to the sinister Venom lead to the creation of a super-powered rivalry that has lasted decades!

“Venom and Spider-Man have a connection Peter Parker would rather forget, but fans love their tortured relationship,” said Michael Leavey, Marketing and Sales Supervisor for DST. “We have a fantastic opportunity to expand the Marvel Icons line and deliver two much-requested exclusive versions of this timeless duo.”

Building on this classic enmity, New York Comic Con will offer their own exclusive Marvel Icons bust featuring Venom! This 600 piece exclusive features a new sculpt created to show off Venom’s prehensile tongue and measures five inches tall. Both busts were sculpted by Rudy Garcia and will be available during the convention, which runs February 23rd-25th.
