Venom, Vol. 1 by Donny Cates

Rex

A battered journalist struggling with his alien other half faces a terrifying shift when the creature begins speaking a forgotten language and wielding new powers, heralding the awakening of a primordial god behind the symbiotes. Drawn into a decades-old black-ops cover-up tied to a Vietnam-era unit and a soldier with a parasitic secret, he battles a towering draconic avatar over New York. Along the way he confronts the lies at the heart of his partnership, learns the true origin of his “other,” and emerges from the chaos bound to a larger, darker cosmic war.
