Synopsis
Spider-Man’s old alien costume has merged with reporter Eddie Brock who thinks his career was ruined by Spider-Man and the symbiote of the two, Venom, takes on the web slinger. At Mary Jane’s request, Spider-Man returns to the blue and red costume as she now finds his black duds way too creepy.
