Venom: The Enemy Within #3 (of 3)
Part 3: Blood Tide
April 30th, 1994
Mayoral candidate Charles Palentine proves to be harboring a dark secret. Venom and Morbius vs. Demogoblin and his entire goblin army!
The last issue of “Enemy Within” started with Venom and Morbius taking on Demogoblin and countless tiny goblins in Alcatraz. Morbius was almost beaten by the goblins but Venom was able to use sunlight to beat Demogoblin and his minions.
Back in the city, Charlie Palene (the man controlling the goblins) was using the magic necklace to make everyone in the city crazy. Venom and Morbius confronted him but couldn’t get the necklace off of him. When they were getting ready to give up, Demogoblin came back and sent the goblins after Charlie. Demogoblin then took the necklace and used its power to grow to enormous size. With the necklace now in his possession the goblins had to obey his every command, even if it endangered them. Demogoblin sent them all over a bridge to drown and then tossed the necklace in after them since water would destroy it. Venom found out that killing the goblins had been Demogoblin’s plan all along.
