About this Collection

This volume collects the conclusion of the Marvel Knights Spider-Man series, pitting Peter Parker against a new, more brutal Venom. The symbiote bonds with Angelo Fortunato, a wealthy and unstable young man who becomes a far more dangerous threat than Eddie Brock ever was. Mark Millar and Terry Dodson deliver a gritty, street-level take on Spider-Man's classic rogues gallery.

"Venomous Part One" kicks off with Spider-Man caught in a web of escalating chaos: New York’s finest are closing in on his secret identity, while a $5 million bounty draws every crackpot and criminal to the Daily Bugle. With Aunt May still missing, Peter turns to Osborn and the psychic Rachel Summers—only to find no answers, just a chilling dread. Meanwhile, Eddie Brock’s unexpected redemption leads him to auction off the Venom suit, igniting a mad scramble among every villain with a taste for power. Written by Mark Millar and illustrated by Terry Dodson, with inks by Rachel Dodson and colors by Avalon's Ian Hannin, this issue’s cover by Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson captures the madness perfectly.
