The Saga of Eddie Brock (Venom)

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!

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!
