Synopsis

Norman invites Harry to rule the world with him as father and son. Spider-Man and Anti-Venom take on Green Goblin and the Thunderbolts. Gargan injects Anti-Venom with a deadly poison which causes the suit to leave Eddie. Spider-Man discovers that it was Harry and not Norman that was doing medical experiments on illegal immigrants. Norman spins recent events in the media to make himself look good. Lily kisses Peter. Aunt May sees a violent side of Martin Li that she didn't expect. Eddie finds that the poison's effect is temporary and heads off into his new life as Anti-Venom.
