I enjoyed the last Marvel Omnibus I reviewed; X-Men and the Avengers: The Gamma Quest Omnibus by Greg Cox, so I got quite a shock when this tome was mailed to me. Here, we have Spider-Man facing three of his enemies: Venom, The Lizard and Doctor Octopus in the form of three of Diane Duane's stories, The Venom Factor, The Lizard Sanction and The Octopus Agenda.
