Spoilers for Web of Venom: Wraith #1 below

Wraith is out for vengeance. When he last appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy, Wraith made it clear he wants to hunt down the being responsible for creating the Exolon parasites that turned him into the monstrous character he is - Knull, the God of Symbiotes.

Wraith first appeared in Annihilation Conquest: Wraith. He is the son of a Kree scientist whose family is killed by the Kree for his experiments to create a better life. Wraith was placed on an escape ship before his family's deaths and ended up in the Exoteric Latitude - the space of the Nameless who infected him with Exolon parasites that grant him abilities including enhanced strength, soul absorption and accelerated healing.

Wraith showed up in Donny Cates and Cory Smith's Guardians of the Galaxy arc, where he worked for Starfox to track down Gamora. It's revealed Knull was responsible for creating the Exolon and Kylntar (symbiotes) and Wraith ultimately wants to track him down and free him from his Exolon parasites. Ultimately, he accomplishes his mission and Starfox gives him a flash drive with information on where to find Knull. He immediately begins his journey to find the God of Symbiotes, which is where this new issue picks up.

Marvel's solicits for Web of Venom: Wraith #1 by Donny Cates and Guiu Villanova sees Wraith seeking out Knull. It is clear Wraith wants to be freed from the Exelon parasites that have controlled his life for a long, long while. Knull should be able to free him from the bond, but the chances that he does that remain slim. The confrontation has the possibility to be life-changing for Wraith - either he gets what he wants and is freed or Knull takes him down.

It's a risky move for Wraith, but he deserves the chance to face the being that was ultimately responsible for turning him into a monster. Before Venom gets a chance at Knull, Wraith is going to do his best to reason with him and be freed. While Wraith might not find the answers he's looking for, the showdown with Knull is going to be epic.
