It begins with Knull, the ancient evil god of the symbiotes, passing judgment on his creation that he has somehow imprisoned himself. This version of Knull hunts the pure life force known as the Codex in order to escape his prison (on the planet Klyntar). The Codex is formed when a symbiote resurrects its host.

As it turns out, Eddie and Venom are a naive host for the Codex. This Left Them as Knull's Main Target During His Attack.

It gives Eddie a chance to meet Dr. Teddy Paine, an Imperium scientist who harbors guilt over her brother’s death, and a nerdy wannabe alien believer, Martin Moon. With the Zenah Hosts running wild in their quest to find the Codex, Eddie and Venom form fragile alliances to stay alive.
