đ§© Brief Plot Summary
In Venom – Space Knight #9, Flash Thompson comes face-to-face with the ultimate identity crisis—literally. After months of serving as a spacefaring hero under the name Venom, Flash is summoned to confront the Klyntar species on their homeworld. But what begins as a diplomatic journey quickly spirals into a confrontation. Flash must reckon with the symbiote’s past, its darker impulses, and the looming question: who’s really in control—man or alien?
This issue explores trust, redemption, and inner conflict through a high-stakes duel that’s as emotional as it is action-packed. With alien worlds as the backdrop, Flash's battle is not just physical—it's spiritual. đ§ đ„
