Publisher's Synopsis
The Epic Collection chronicling of Venom's early days continues, as he begins his transformation from Spider-Man's nemesis into the Lethal Protector anti-hero he's known as today!
It's Venom vs. Spider-Man once again - for the first time! Eddie Brock takes on a very different web-slinger: Ben Reilly! With Venom a wanted man and Eddie's ex-wife Anne Weying caught in the middle, a deadly rivalry is reborn! And when the symbiote-hunting alien Xenophage targets Venom, this time it's Eddie's brain in danger of being eaten! Meanwhile, four imprisoned symbiotes join together to become Hybrid - but how will the Jury judge this unstable new hero? And when an interplanetary army invades Earth, Venom must fight alongside Spider-Man and the Scarlet Spider to stop their home from becoming a planet of the symbiotes! But will Eddie's ex-wife be caught in the crossfire when killer vigilante Sin-Eater strikes?
