Publisher’s description
VENOM'S OLDEST ENEMY RETURNS! Long ago, a friend of Reed Richards had a problem — an alien costume that didn't want to come off. Reed Richards blasted it off with a sonic weapon and imprisoned it for study. It seemed like a good idea at the time... but now he's got to work with that alien to save the world — and Venom holds one heck of a grudge!
