Spider-Man Hors Série #28
In "Venom: La naissance du mal chapitre 1," young Eddie Brock navigates the awkward terrain of high school with a knack for self-promotion and a growing fascination with truth-telling—both in journalism and in his own increasingly embellished stories. When a chance encounter with a college girl turns dangerous, Eddie finds himself stepping into the spotlight, even as Spider-Man arrives to save the day. Written by Zeb Wells and Jérôme Wicky, with art by Angel Medina and inks by Scott Hanna, this issue captures the early spark of a mind learning to twist reality to fit its ambitions—perfectly set up by a cover by Medina and Hanna.
