Spider-Man The Lizard Sanction (HC)

“For a Spidey-fan like yours truly, this book was like coming home again.” —Tony Isabella, Comics Buyer’s Guide

The deadly Lizard is on a rampage through the Florida Everglades, as he seeks a cure for his hideous condition—the result of an experiment gone horribly wrong. A heartbeat away is the alien symbiote known as Venom, the sworn enemy of Spider-Man, targeting the Lizard for death. Venom has no intention of letting the web-slinger or anyone else stand in his way.
Peter Parker, the amazing Spider-Man, is also in Florida to cover America’s next space shuttle launch for the Daily Bugle and to share a much-needed vacation with his wife Mary Jane. Disaster strikes when he discovers that his two lethal foes are running wild through the Everglades, just as the impending launch is sabotaged by a group of sinister mercenaries!
Why is Venom hunting the Lizard? Who are the mercenaries about to wreak havoc in southern Florida? What is their connection to the Lizard’s search for a cure?
This triple threat presents Spider-Man with the challenge of his life as he desperately battles against time, the heat, and the savage trail of the Lizard and Venom!
