“A Matter of Life and Debt!”

In "A Matter of Life and Debt!", Venom escapes the Vault, setting off a new wave of chaos, while Peter Parker is forced to confront a troubling secret about Aunt May’s boyfriend—his gambling debts are draining her savings. With Todd McFarlane’s dynamic art bringing both the menace of Venom and the emotional weight of Peter’s personal struggles to life, this issue blends high-stakes action with a grounded, character-driven dilemma.
