Carnage's quest to become a god continues as he travels through the Multiverse to slaughter every Venom in existence. This issue features stories including 'The End of the Venomverse' and 'Kid Venom'.
Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (9.4)
Condition Details
The comic appears to be in very high-grade condition. Visible through the polybag, there is slight blunting on the bottom left corner and minor shelf wear along the spine. No significant color-breaking creases or spine ticks are immediately apparent, though the plastic bag makes detailed surface inspection difficult.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $5; Graded (CGC 9.8): $30 - $45
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies fluctuate between $2.00 and $6.00 plus shipping. Graded 9.8 copies have sold in the $40 range recently.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of professional grading (approx. $25-$40) exceeds the market value of a high-grade copy. This issue is not currently a major key that justifies the investment for a return on value.
Notable Features
Features the character Necroko on the cover (a Venomized character designed for the series). Includes a back-up story featuring the first appearance and origins of Kid Venom (Kintaro) in the main Marvel continuity.
Authentication Notes
The item appears authentic. The UPC code (7-59606-20567-7-00441) matches the specific Niimura design variant for issue #4. The modern gloss finish and trade dress are consistent with Marvel's 2023 production standards.
