Meet the Kree soldier named Tel-Kar, and learn a secret chapter in the Venom symbiote's history! And now, as Venom faces down a Skrull ambush and the universe teeters on the brink, the symbiote must choose: allow its newborn offspring to die, or separate from Eddie Brock -- forever! But Eddie won't give up his “other” without a fight…after all, the fate of Earth is at stake! Can Eddie and the symbiote trust one another long enough to save the galaxy -- or will the First Host prove to be Venom's undoing?!
