Venom: Coming To Terms

Mary Jane Watson has settled into life as Venom, and she and the symbiote are becoming the kind of hero it never expected to be. That confidence is tested when the King in Black returns. Doctor Octopus resurfaces as Director of Operations for S.C.A.R. with the new Toxin in his crosshairs, Luke Cage objects, and New York’s mayor must choose between human law and symbiote justice. Madame Masque makes another play as well.

After the fallout of Death Spiral, MJ and Peter Parker finally have the conversation they have been avoiding. A figure from Venom’s past returns from the grave bearing an apocalyptic warning, MJ has to decide who to trust with her secret, and she lands a new job while Venom tries out a fresh look or two.
