Spider-Man meets his deadliest foe as a rivalry for the ages is born!
When Spidey's symbiotic alien black costume takes a new host - Eddie Brock, who hates Spider-Man - together, they become the lethal Venom! They'll stop at nothing to take their revenge on Peter Parker - and when Venom sires an even more psychopathic offspring, the result is Maximum Carnage!
Plus: The sinister symbiote sinks his teeth into Wolverine, Ghost Rider, Quasar, Darkhawk and the Avengers in this complete compendium of Venom's earliest appearances!
