It's... over. I suppose we should be pleased. The price on our head has been lifted. Though the man who put it there lives. But perhaps what was lost can be balanced by what was gained: a bit of overdue wisdom. I've been feeling sorry for myself, missing old friends, my career, my wife. But lately, I've seen how such feelings in others can breed poor choices and end in tragedy. That mugging victim, Annie and her fiancé, even Hammer's man. All chose feelings over judgment, vulnerability over loneliness. And that's a mistake we can't afford to make. Compassion is weakness, and we need to be strong to protect those who can't protect themselves. Besides, we'll never truly be alone, will we? For after all, now and forever... we... are... VENOM!

Solicit Synopsis
Eddie Brock has been pushed to his limit. The love of his life has found happiness with another, and he's fought super villain after super villain across New York City as every super-powered criminal in town attempts to take the sinister symbiote's head. Now VENOM faces down a gauntlet of foes — including TASKMASTER — intent on putting down the wicked web-slinger for good. But Venom has ONE chance to win, but it will take everything he and the symbiote have just to survive!
