Many people see Venom as Spider-Man‘s ultimate foe, even challenging the Green Goblin for the top spot. Venom’s thirst for revenge against the wall-crawler is doubled due to the fact that Spidey rejected the costume he gained on Battleworld (during SECRET WARS, 1984-1985) on Battleworld when he learned it was an alien Symbiote, then went on to unmask the Sin-Eater as someone other than Emil Gregg who was erroneously named as the murderous vigilante by overzealous Daily Globe journalist Eddie Brock.
With his career in tatters, the despairing Brock was discovered by the Symbiote and the pair become Venom. With powers matching Spider-Man’s Venom was a threat who could easily hold his own against the web-slinger. But the Symbiote also shared its memories with Eddie Brock, meaning the villain learned Spider-Man is really Peter Parker.
The Symbiote has found other hosts over the years and Eddie Brock has gained other identities by merging with other Symbiotes, but he’ll always be the one true Venom in most people’s minds.
Head to our CHARACTER READING ORDER INDEX for more chronological guides!
I’d like to thank the Unofficial Handbook of Marvel Comics Creators and the Marvel Chronology Project, the Marvel Database for their invaluable assistance.
Chronology: All appearances of Eddie Brock and the Symbiote from this period are included in chronological order, laying out their timeline rather than just the order the issues were released.
Must Reads: Story arcs in bold in the Core List or marked with a ✔ in the Full Reading Order are must-read stories from this time period, along with any key related stories and often-forgotten tales that are worth a look.
Anthology Issues: When an issue contains multiple stories, the relevant story is denoted with square brackets. For example, [2/5] refers to the second story of the five stories in that issue, so you don’t need to read the other four.
Spoilers: The issue/story overviews may include spoilers, so be warned!
