Disgraced reporter Eddie Brock has reasons of his own to hate Spider-Man, and together the two merge into the twisted engine of revenge known as Venom! And so begins a rivalry for the ages! Venom has the same powers as Spider-Man, but is bigger, stronger, doesn’t trigger his spider-sense… and he knows Spidey’s secret identity!
