Marc Spector and Venom engage in a battle of wills in the next
adventure of an epic multiversal series reimagining iconic Marvel
origin stories.
So many worlds, so little time. Infinite possibilities, creating
infinite realities. Long have I watched Marc Spector cheat death in the
name of the Egyptian god Khonshu. But…what if Moon Knight was subsumed
by a Venom from another universe?
Marc Spector is used to voices in his head. He’s used to waking up
disoriented, unsure what his alters, Jake and Steven, might have been
up to. He’s used to having an Egyptian god command him as Moon Knight,
his avatar of justice and revenge. What he’s not used to: staring into
the face of a literal, out-of-body doppelganger.
Another Marc, crash-landed from an alternate reality, begging for help?
Yeah, that is a new one, even for him.
But before he can really process anything beyond Khonshu’s incessant
alarm bells, it becomes clear this other Marc didn’t travel solo. Some
kind of alien ― a symbiote named Venom― casts off its current host and
begins to merge with Marc, forcing Khonshu away from his chosen
champion and claiming Moon Knight for its own. The formerly stark white
suit that struck fear into the hearts of criminals now looms as a
jet-black shadow over friends and foes alike. Marc’s lethal prowess
fueled by Venom’s penchant for violence carves a trail of chaos as they
comb through the vigilante’s torturous past.
Yet a sliver of hope remains: Finally free of Venom’s control, the
other Jake and Steven re-gain consciousness to find themselves in a
strange reality, without their Marc, but with a strange bird-like god
insisting that “they will do.” Desperate, lost, and running out of
time, the pair make a deal: become Khonshu’s new avatar to track
Venom’s path of destruction, save this universe, and just maybe figure
out a way back to their own.
The Clone Wars have begun. Battle lines are being drawn throughout
the galaxy. With every world that joins the Separatists, the peace
guarded by the Jedi Order is slipping through their fingers. After
an explosion devastates Cato Neimoidia, the jewel of the Trade
Federation, the Republic is blamed and the fragile neutrality of
the planet is threatened. The Jedi dispatch Obi-Wan Kenobi, one of
the Order's most gifted diplomatic minds, to investigate the crime
and maintain the balance that has begun to dangerously shift. As
Obi-Wan investigates with the help of a heroic Neimoidian guard, he
finds himself working against the Separatists who hope to draw the
planet into their conspiracy-and senses the sinister hand of Asajj
Ventress in the mists that cloak the planet. Amid the brewing
chaos, Anakin Skywalker rises to the rank of Jedi Knight. Despite
the mandate that Obi-Wan travel alone-and his former master's
insistence that he listen this time-Anakin's headstrong
determination means nothing can stop him from crashing the party,
and bringing along a promising but conflicted youngling. Once a
Padawan to Obi-Wan, Anakin now finds himself on equal-but
uncertain-footing with the man who raised him. The lingering
friction between them increases the danger for everyone around
them. The two knights must learn a new way to work together-and
they must learn quickly, to save Cato Neimoidia and its people from
the fires of war. To overcome the threat they face they must grow
beyond master and apprentice. They must stand together as brothers.
