Publisher's Synopsis
Learn about the history of the Venom alien symbiote, and how it joined with Eddie Brock to become Spider-Man's archrival - and one of the most iconic anti-heroes in comics!
It is the living costume rejected by Peter Parker. He is the discredited reporter who blames Spider-Man for ruining his life. Together…they are Venom! Discover how Eddie Brock became Spidey's deadliest foe in the stories that made Venom a symbiotic superstar! He's bigger and stronger than the webbed wonder, he knows Spider-Man's secret identity and he doesn't even trigger Peter's spider-sense! So can Spidey find a way to survive their brutal first encounter? And even if he does, will he be prepared for Eddie's revenge plot: exploiting Peter's greatest weakness, Aunt May?! When Eddie stands trial, Matt "Daredevil" Murdock is his defense attorney - setting the stage for a blockbuster rematch with Spider-Man that redefines Venom for his future as the Marvel Universe's lethal protector!
