Venom is an anti-hero comic book series by Marvel Comics.
A spin-off of the Spider-Man series, it follows Eddie Brock, a reporter whose fall from grace was unwittingly caused by the actions of Spider-Man; Brock would go to Our Lady of Saints Church to ask God forgiveness before attempting suicide. However, an alien symbiote from another planet that had been earlier discarded there by Spider-Man sensed his anger and merged with Eddie, forming a new bond and combining their shared scorn to become the lethal protector known as Venom.
