The first of Titan's new series of original Marvel novels, starring Spider-Man's arch foe Venom in his anti-hero role as the Lethal Protector.

EDDIE BROCK AND HIS ALIEN SYMBIOTE SHARE A COMMON GOAL.



They want to kill Spider-Man. After numerous attempts to squash the web-spinner, however, they reach an uneasy truce with him and head west, eager to leave trouble behind.



But trouble has different ideas.



In San Francisco, Brock becomes a secret defender of the innocent. But at six-feet-three inches, with bulging muscles and fangs, he quickly draws attention - first from a furious Spider-Man, certain Eddie has broken his word - then from a cadre of enemies eager to kill the "Lethal Protector".



THESE ARE THE SPAWN OF VENOM,

AND THEY'RE OUT FOR BLOOD!
