4. Spectacular Spider-Man The Hunger
Collecting Spectacular Spider-Man issues 1-5 by Paul Jenkins and Humberto Ramos, we now see an Eddie at the end of his rope. This is the book that we learn Eddie has had cancer since the days of him covering the Sin-Eater story, and that is caused him to make mistakes in his reporting. Maybe he isn’t such a horrible guy after all. Though he does have more than a few deaths under his belt, Eddie wants redemption. He knows his days are numbered as the symbiote can no longer feed off his cancer, nor keep him alive much longer with its healing factor. The symbiote needs a new host, and Eddie Brock has to die. Spider-Man, though conflicted about Eddie and Venom, still can’t allow himself to let Brock die. Spidey comes up with a plan to save Eddie, but at what cost? You’ll have to read to find out.
