Venom: On Trial #1
In "Law & Order," the symbiote-hosted Venom is subdued by sonic weapons and imprisoned on Randall's Island, facing trial with no means to afford legal representation. When the district attorney learns Eddie has no money, Matt Murdock steps in—agreeing to defend him pro bono, setting the stage for a courtroom showdown unlike any other. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Josh Hood, with inks by Derek Fisher, colors by Tom Smith, and letters by Ken Lopez, the cover by Hood and Fisher captures the tension of a criminal symbiote in a system not built for him.
