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!

These are dark days for England. The Hood is dead. The Sheriff has summoned an ally-one who leads an army sufficient to enter Sherwood and crush the resistance. Then comes news that King Richard is the prisoner of a pagan ruler. What began as a rebellion has become a war for the throne.With hordes of demons and men at his disposal, the Sheriff is poised to seize power. A desperate mission is mounted to rescue Richard, while those who remain behind must hold off the enemy. Yet even if the true king returns, an epic battle will erupt, and the outcome cannot be foretold.

WHEN EDDIE BROCK BECOMES BIOLOGICALLY LINKED TO A BIZARRE ALIEN SYMBIOTE, THE TWO SHARE A COMMON GOAL. At first they seek to squash their arch-foe Spider-Man. After repeated attempts, Venom reaches an uneasy truce with the web-spinner. Brock leaves New York and heads west to San Francisco, the city of his birth, eager to put trouble behind him. Trouble has different ideas. Brock commits himself to becoming a defender of the innocent, but he's a six-foot-three-inch, 260 lb. figure with bulging muscles and fangs like a shark. Venom quickly draws attention-first from a furious Spider-Man, who's certain Brock has broken his word, then from a team of armored enemies who set out to kill the "Lethal Protector." Venom joins forces with the web-spinner, only to face an even deadlier threat-five trained killers, each wearing a symbiotic suit like Brock's. These are the Spawn of Venom, and they're out for blood.
