“Venom”

The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (1992) kicks off with a bold new chapter as Spider-Man confronts the terrifying fusion of his old alien costume and disgraced reporter Eddie Brock, who blames the web-slinger for his downfall. Written by David Michelinie and brought to life with iconic, high-impact art by Todd McFarlane—both interior and on the cover—this issue introduces Venom in a way that’s instantly gripping, setting up a clash of ideology and identity. With Mary Jane urging Spidey to return to his classic blue and red suit, the tension between hero and antihero reaches a fever pitch.

Spidey'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 MJ's request, Spidey returns to the blue and red costume as she now finds his black duds way too creepy.
