lethal protector a six-issue miniseries
written by david michelinie with art by
Mark Bagley
Ron Lim and Sam dela Rosa while the
character venom was originally
introduced as a fearsome villain he
since gone on to become something of an
antihero albeit one with a somewhat
warped sense of right and wrong this
series showed the characters first steps
on that path flexing his muscle as a
crime fighter in sunny San Francisco the
story opens with venom enjoying his new
West Coast stomping grounds saving a
woman from a mugger before setting out
to find a new place to hang his hat or
symbiote despite not looking for trouble
trouble finds him when a pair of beat
cops recognized Eddie Brock wanted
fugitive and attempt to arrest him
during the scuffle a nearby shutterbug
snaps a photo of venom beating a retreat
which soon alerts Peter Parker to his
old foes whereabouts when the photos
make their way to the Daily Bugle
Spidey heads to San Fran to confront
venom believing Eddie has already gone
back on his recent promise to fight for
good he catches up with Eddie just in
time to get caught in a shootout after
venom attacks some mobsters who he saw
hassling some nearby vagrants and the
chaos of the battle venom disappears
leaving Spidey back at square one the
people Brock saved to take him to their
home in the sewer system where they
reveal that someone by the name of
Rowland Treece has been attempting to
drive them away for months and he hasn’t
given up yet more of Teresa’s goons
attack this time armed with massive mech
suits and one of them takes venom for a
ride when the floor collapses beneath
them when the smoke clears they realized
they’d fallen into a subterranean City
after making quick work of the next
Eddie learns what’s going on below the
city surface following the San Francisco
earthquake of 1903 a section of the city
was buried underground preserved in a
cavern this relic from a bygone era was
eventually found by the city’s homeless
population becoming a safe haven for
them despite saving them Eddie is asked
to leave by the city’s ruling council
meanwhile Spidey discovers why Brock
came to San Fran it’s the home of his
dear old dad
Peter attempts to confront Papa Brock
but doesn’t exactly get far the elder
Brock still doesn’t feel chatty but his
housekeeper feels Spidey in on Brock’s
childhood and how his desperate need
his father’s acceptance led him down the
path to villainy while all of this is
happening venom heads to Teresa’s
corporate headquarters hoping to find
some answers about why he has it out for
the residents of sanctuary for his
trouble
venom gets attacked by guards and driven
away before he can get the answers he
needs no sooner does he escape the
office than he comes face-to-face with a
new foe a man leading a group of armored
warriors called the jury the man
introduces himself as Orwell Taylor and
after his men subdue venom he spills the
beans in classic villain fashion
Taylor’s son was formerly a guard at the
high tech prison called the raft during
a jailbreak young Hugh Taylor was killed
by none other than venom himself
Taylor swore revenge on venom and
assembled the jury to take him down
venom narrowly escapes with his life but
the jury viciously pursues him
eventually cornering him in the city
streets in an unexpected turn a Treece
helicopter arrives to whisk venom to
safety trace offering Eddie a job as his
new head of security
brings venom to a remote facility in the
Mojave this turns out to be a case of
out of the frying pan and into the fire
when this is revealed to be a trap one
with a new player at the controls a man
who identifies himself as Carleton Drake
head of the life foundation Drake
reveals that the life foundation caters
to a group of wealthy elites who believe
that nuclear Armageddon is just around
the corner with venom in prison Drake
takes a sample of the symbiote it
doesn’t take long for Spidey still
searching for venom to come across the
fruits of Drake’s labor a new symbiote
by the name of scream Spidey narrowly of
Earth screams rampage before the
villainous escapes in a hovercraft
Spidey hitches ride and holds on for
dear life while the craft takes off as
you may have guessed the ship returns to
the Life Foundation where Spidey finds
yet more symbiote and a seemingly
deceased Eddie Brock Spidey battles the
new symbiote created by the light
foundation to be soldiers and policemen
in the post-apocalyptic future they
think is headed their way
things that die see for the webslinger
until Eddie appears alive and well after
all but separated from a symbiote Brock
finds and reunites with his better half
and venom dispatches the foundation
symbiotes aging them into dust with the
same technology used to bring them to
maturity so quickly Spidey and his
unlikely Ally escape before the facility
goes up in flames
but venom branches off leaving
spider-man to have to find him all over
again with all of that out of the way
venom resumes his hunt for answers about
Treece and discovers the villains plan
to steal a shipment of gold thought
buried in the 1900s
earthquake trees is willing to kill
everyone in the underground city in
order to get the gold and Venom recruits
piety and stopping trees once and for
all in a fiery confrontation the pair
confronts trees one last time in an
intense battle with Teresa’s robot
diggers in an unexpected turn of events
venom even saves trees putting himself
in danger by diving through a wall of
fire one of the only things capable of
harming him before Spidey can
congratulate venom on saving the
villains life and he disappears leaving
Spidey to return to New York in
gratitude for saving the sanctuary venom
