## Publisher's summary

*M.A.S.K. vs. V.E.N.O.M. for the very first time! After being lured into a trap, Matt Trakker and the M.A.S.K. team must survive in order to stop Miles Mayhem from leaking their secret technology to terrorist cells around the world. Matt and Gloria Baker go undercover to infiltrate a black market weapons ring but what they discover will change Matt’s life forever!*

## Plot

At Harrison's Cave, the Mobile Armored Strike Kommand avoid V.E.N.O.M.'s initial strike. Confused by who their attackers are, Mayhem grants M.A.S.K. the identity of their attackers—Sly Rax, Vanessa Warfield, and Bruno Sheppard! Sheppard has been injured since the M.A.S.K. team last saw him. Half of his face has been replaced by a robotic construct. Matt Trakker uses the Spectrum Mask to cause a distraction and the team escape.

Escaping in their vehicles, M.A.S.K. is chased by V.E.N.O.M. towards the coast while Matt and Miles duel in the sky. However, as Matt gains the upper hand and targets Mayhem, his Mask and vehicle refuse to cooperate, allowing Mayhem to escape.

On their borrowed yacht, Julio Lopez tends to Brad's wounds and finds that the Ore-13 powering their weapons and vehicles is slowly giving them radiation poisoning. Matt also discovers video files proving that Mile Mayhem killed his father, Cornelius.
