Plot Synopsis

Spinning directly out of the aftermath of Marvel's Queen in Black crossover event, Eddie Brock and the Venom symbiote are officially reunited after years apart. Emerging with a new "crowned" character design that symbolizes their attempt to move past their turbulent history, Eddie is deeply determined to be the ultimate, perfect host.

However, their reunion isn't met with open arms. Major power players in the Marvel Universe view their renewed bond as incredibly toxic and dangerous. Determined to act as a true hero, Eddie must navigate immense skepticism and direct opposition from fellow superheroes—including an immediate encounter with Spider-Man on page two, as well as appearances from Iron Man, Wolverine, and the Invisible Woman.
