In today's episode we look at Sensational Spider-Man 38 which is part of Back in Black that leads to Brand New Day. Sensational Spider-Man 38 is the first of a two part issue featuring Eddie Brock also known as Venom. This is a dark dark issue. There's some exposition explaining how Eddie Brock came to be without the symbiote that turns him into the anti-hero Venom. He is sick and dying of cancer alone in a hospital. The symbiote still talks to Eddie which is most likely Eddie losing grasp on reality. (There of course is a later retcon of this which turns Eddie into Anti-Venom but that's for another time.) Once Eddie hears of Aunt May being in the same hospital he considers murdering her in her sleep. Meanwhile Peter Parker rushes to Madam Web for help.
