Review/plot:
Venom has taken a plane to New York (don't ask me how he gets past security; i know it was a pre-911 world, but the guy is still a wanted criminal).

Meanwhile, the villains settle their differences.

Spider-Man and Cloak part ways, and Spidey goes home to get into the usual argument with Mary Jane. He then goes back out and runs into Demogoblin, who has what appear to be Darkforce bombs.

Spider-Man escapes thanks to the invention of a bystanding priest, but Demogoblin gets away. Spidey returns home again. Meanwhile Venom locates Carnage, who is slaughtering people at random in Central Park. But Venom wasn't prepared for Carnage having allies.

We don't actually see the fight, but i imagine Shriek's sonic powers were a complication. Venom winds up crawling to Peter and MJ's place for help.

Don't get excited; Peter's bear slippers aren't part of a new costume.
