The Last Temptation of Eddie Brock, Part 1 of 2 · 22 pages
Eddie Brock, formerly Venom, is in the same hospital as Aunt May, giving him one more chance to destroy Peter Parker, the man he blames for all his life's woes.

Publisher’s description

He used to be one of Peter Parker's most vicious foes: Venom. Now, though, Eddie Brock is weak and powerless. But fortune has smiled on Mr. Brock, putting him in the right place at the right time: The same hospital where May Parker is fighting for her life. With Peter at his most desperate and completely overwhelmed, will Eddie have one final chance to destroy the man he blames for all his life's woes?
