One week after his brutal battle with Kraven the Hunter, Peter Parker is still reeling from the Venom symbiote’s influence. Though he’s purged himself of the alien parasite, the damage remains — sleepless nights, violent flashbacks, and a city whispering about a monstrous black creature stalking the streets. When missing person reports skyrocket and bodies begin turning up drained and mutilated, Peter discovers the horrifying truth: the symbiote has bonded with Eddie Brock, a disgraced journalist who blames both Peter Parker and Spider-Man for destroying his career and life. Now twisted by rage and hunger, Eddie has become Venom — a dark mirror of Spider-Man, with his powers, his memories, and none of his restraint. As Venom’s reign of terror spreads through New York, Spider-Man faces the nightmare of fighting something that knows him better than anyone — his weaknesses, his fears, his guilt. Every encounter leaves Peter more battered, both physically and emotionally, as he confronts the sins of his past and the monster he helped create. Gwen watches helplessly as Peter spirals back toward the darkness he thought he’d escaped. When Venom targets those Peter loves, the line between man and monster begins to blur once more, culminating in a violent, R-rated showdown in the heart of the city — where Peter must decide if he can save Eddie Brock… or if Venom must die.
