Plot
In Life Foundation, Carlton Drake is overseeing the reconstruction of his destroyed laboratory while seeking out the surviving Symbiotes whoch were being experimented on. He eventually encounters the alpha Symbiote, Riot, which soon possesses him and urges him to find Venom as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Life Foundation mercenaries are on the hunt for the fugitive symbiote until they are attacked and neutralized by Venom, who has found a new human host which matches him, and seeks mutual revenge on Drake.

In Pegasus Z, Captain America and Jean Grey are watching as Gamora is having some training with her childhood friend Nocturnal, an Inhuman with owl-like attritubes and abilities, while Nathan Quill / Star-Lord is in Baxter Institute with Dr. Hank McCoy / Beast and Dora Skirth experimenting on the Anti-Venom, a new type of synthetic symbiote created to extinguish other symbiotes, as a means of preparation for the possibility of a Symbiote pandemic. Nearby, Groot, Nebula, Rocket Raccoon and Yondu Udonta are battling a Kree squad led by Korath the Pursuer, who is attempting to access Baxter Institute's teleportation terminals to enter Pegasus Z. Just then, Korath is attacked by Venom, who greatly injures him and forces him and his squad to retreat. Venom soon reveals his new host to be Eddie Brock, a disgraced, former Daily Globe journalist who was fired for ranting on Drake and his Life Foundation experiments and allegations without any sources. The Guardians and the others regroup at McCoy's lab, where they view Brock's log about Drake's secret experiments, on which he used both prison convicts and homeless people who did not survive the progress. The Guardians reluctantly agree to team up with Venom to stop Drake, while also advised by Captain America to be prepared in case he steps out of line, and Skirth keeps the Anti-Venom hidden in her desk to avoid Venom's misunderstanding.

Through a comunicator Skirth implanted in one of Drake's security guards before she left, the group overhears that Drake is hiring some of the supervillains (Scorpion, Blizzard and Pyro) incarcerated in the Raft to hunt down Venom in exchange of reducing their prison sentences. Star-Lord and Gamora record his
