In the heart of San Francisco, mayoral candidate Charles Palentine exploits a goblin uprising to seize power, forcing Venom and Morbius to join forces in a desperate bid to stop them. Hunted and cornered, the duo flee to the abandoned Alcatraz, where they uncover a chilling diary written by an inmate named Charlie Palene—revealing a dark history of magic, imprisonment, and a necklace that once summoned the goblins. As the creatures rise under a new leader, the Demogoblin, the city teeters on the edge of chaos.

In "Blood Tide," Venom and Morbius uncover a shocking connection between the imprisoned Charlie Palene and the newly elected mayor Charles Palentine, setting off a chain of events that spirals into chaos.
