Venom #11

In "Patterns," the hunt for the severed tongue of Eddie Brock’s Venom suit takes a bizarre turn when a restaurant worker tries to profit from the alien fragment online—only to have it seized by Frankie and Vic, who deliver it to Bob for mysterious experiments. Meanwhile, back at Four Freedoms Plaza, Reed Richards reveals a strange discovery: tiny alien nano-beings that obey Spider-Man’s commands, yet seem to be watching the Venom suit with unsettling curiosity. Written by Daniel Way and illustrated by Francisco Herrera with inks by Carlos Cuevas, this 2004 Marvel issue features a cover by Mike Deodato Jr.
