Story by Matthew Rosenberg. Art by Roland Boschi. Cover by Francesco Mattina.
Each issue introduces another major Venomized character. This issue, the young mutant clone designated X-23 collides with a cryogenic tube containing a strange alien symbiote during her frenzied escape from The Facility. Bonding with the alien enhances her already considerable abilities, and aids in her escape, but it begins to alter her mind. On the run from the very people that made her, can X-23 hold it together or is she doomed to give in to Venom.
