Synopsis:
In the aftermath of “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” identity-thieves Eddie Brock and Venom are on opposite ends of the law as they try to avoid a number of organizations trying to harness the power of the symbiote. Their quest takes them to Mexico and Nevada with an aim to set the record straight and understand the reasons behind being chased. All of the previous issues are greatly exaggerated by Knulls appearance, the symbiote god who takes the responsibility of sending the Xenophage – a massive beast sent to reclaim a codex nestled inside Venom which would be catastrophic if it were severed.
