Publisher’s description

THE CODEX IS THE KEY! Hela wants him as her secret weapon — Knull just wants him dead! Dylan Brock's survival might be the one thing Venom and Eddie Brock agree about — but even at the end of the world, can they work together? All this and the rollicking return of the Fantastic Five!
