The actual Venomverse arc was released after the conclusion of the Edge of… miniseries, it was written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Iban Coello, who had already worked toguether in Deadpool & the Mercs for Money. The editor Devin Lewis described it as “the biggest Venom story of all time”, and it intended to make Venom an important character in the Marvel universe. Bunn pointed that most of the other main characters were selected because they would seem unexpected hosts of the symbiote. Lewis mentioned Deadpool in particular, and said that “Deadpool is one of our main venomized protagonists. He’s got so much heart and he’s also a source of unpredictability, insanity, and goofiness”. Bunn preferred instead his version of Rocket Raccoon.
