During 1984's Marvel Super Heroes: Secret Wars, Deadpool was introduced to an alien symbiote who went on to become Spider-Man's black costume and, eventually, Venom. Okay, okay, maybe that really happened in Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars. Point is, did you know that after Spider-Man rejected the costume... it went slinking back to Deadpool on the rebound? And they went on adventures together? You didn't? Well, you will now! Collecting Deadpool: Back in Black #1-5 (subject to change).
