- Toxin: The Devil You Know, Part One: The Strange Case of Pat Mulligan and Mr. Hyde · 23 pages
Ex-cop Pat Mulligan finds himself the host for the alien offspring of the symbiotic creature known as Carnage. The new lifeform has taken the name of Toxin, and it seems far more willing to work with Mulligan toward a greater good rather than adopting the bloodthirsty and cruel personality of its daddy. For his first mission, Mulligan decides to help to track down escapees from the recent superhuman prison break in New York, and the first target on his list is King Cobra. To get some insight and a lead, Mulligan approaches Cobra's disgruntled former partner: Mr. Hyde.
Publisher’s description
As each new generation of men must hand down the torch to the next, so each new generation of alien symbiotes must hand down the, ah, stringy, fleshy tendrils. So move over Venom, step aside Carnage, because TOXIN is getting his own limited series as Spider-Man Month continues with a nod to NEW AVENGERS! When a full-scale jailbreak [see NEW AVENGERS] leaves New York overrun with super villains, Pat sees the perfect opportunity to use the creature sharing his body for good. But Toxin might have other ideas! Featuring a special guest appearance by Spider-Man and a different villain encounter every issue!
