Spider-Man #4/2004

In "The Hunger," Spider-Man races to stop a mysterious killer preying on victims drained of adrenaline, while grappling with a symbiote that's gone rogue—leaving Eddie Brock to confront his past and Peter, May, and Liz to wait anxiously by Flash Thompson’s hospital bed. The line between hero and monster blurs as Spider-Man faces Venom in a brutal clash that reveals a terrifying truth: the symbiote is no longer bound to its host.

In "The Hunger Part 2," Spider-Man [Peter Parker] races to uncover the truth behind a series of violent, adrenaline-fueled attacks, while Detective Neil Garrett digs deeper into the mystery. With Venom [Eddie Brock] once again bonded to his host, the symbiote's influence grows darker, pushing Eddie to the edge. As Spider-Man confronts the escalating danger, he must team up with Garrett—only to realize the threat is far more personal than he ever imagined.
