Madame Masque wants Venom out of her way — one way or the other. And somehow, she’s found out who’s under the goo. With all the power of A.I.M. in her golden glove, she’s turning the screws on the world’s strangest roommates… but will the goosome twosome squish under the pressure? Or is Madame Masque waking up the monster within?
