An all-new story set in the early days of Venom, written by Venom co-creator and legendary Spider-Man writer David Michelinie!

Venom vs. Doctor Doom! Venom co-creator David Michelinie returns with a brand-new story set in the sinister symbiote’s past, back when brains — and Spider-Man — were still on the menu! Prepare for an epic that will take Venom far from the streets of NYC — all the way to the kingdom of Latveria! When Silver Sable and S.H.I.E.L.D. come calling, Venom is recruited into a battle to stop a tech-worshipping cult from getting their hands on a doomsday weapon. Speaking of doom, there’s a certain Supreme Leader of Latveria who also has his titanium-armored eyes on the same prize — and he’s not the only one! Brock is about to be challenged like never before! What (or who) will Venom need to overcome the fiercest foe in the Marvel Universe?
