The story involves Spider-Man clashing with Cardiac over his brutal methods while investigating drug production tied to Hammer Industries; Eddie Brock (Venom) appears briefly. Part of the early 1990s era leading into major symbiote storylines like Maximum Carnage. Artwork by Erik Larsen (pencils) and Randy Emberlin (inks) is highly regarded for dynamic action.
