Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 new story trailer gives us a first look at Venom
thesixthaxis.comInsomniac popped by San Diego Comic Con yesterday for to host a panel for their upcoming PS5 superhero sequel Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. The new story trailer is all about Kraven as one new antagonist, Venom, the alien symbiote that has become an iconic part of the Spider-Man story, and the shared story of Peter Parker and Miles Morales.
