This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Heartracing action， killer suspense， touching emotional scenes， breathtaking art。 This book has it all。 Eddie's at absolute rock bottom， and at the end of the book， he's sky high。 Emotionally and physically， partially to being a god。 His personal journey， I think is really inspiring。 And that's really just a tiny segment of the book。 If you at all like venom， you MUST read this。 It's beautiful， comprehensive， and character defining。 Heartracing action， killer suspense， touching emotional scenes， breathtaking art。 This book has it all。 Eddie's at absolute rock bottom， and at the end of the book， he's sky high。 Emotionally and physically， partially to being a god。 His personal journey， I think is really inspiring。 And that's really just a tiny segment of the book。 If you at all like venom， you MUST read this。 It's beautiful， comprehensive， and character defining。 。。。more

This series was a great revitalization of Eddie Brock and Venom as a whole。 Cates tapped into his passion for sci-fi epics and elder gods to bring a large， compelling and worth-while story to the mythos of the character。 That said， there are two major problems with this run: the events。 Absolute Carnage and The King in Black are over-indulgent， single-minded and convoluted Michael Bay presentations in the middle of a very grounded and personal journey。 They are， no doubt， important to the run an This series was a great revitalization of Eddie Brock and Venom as a whole。 Cates tapped into his passion for sci-fi epics and elder gods to bring a large， compelling and worth-while story to the mythos of the character。 That said， there are two major problems with this run: the events。 Absolute Carnage and The King in Black are over-indulgent， single-minded and convoluted Michael Bay presentations in the middle of a very grounded and personal journey。 They are， no doubt， important to the run and serve a purpose in moving the story of Venom and Eddie forward， but the countless tie-ins that are included do nothing to benefit the experience for the reader。 They all hold a small piece of each event that help flesh out what is actually occuring with certain characters， but require the reader to traverse 15 sub-par comic tie-ins to reach that point of pay off。 It's exhausting and comes off as a money-grab that I don't appreciate。 Outside of this; if you can ignore the fact a lot of the story happens behind the scenes， the actual work put in by Cates and his fantastic team of artists is worth your time。 Ever since his independent work on God Country， Cates has shown an affinity for the patriarch-son connection and showing the many sides of this relationship。 He does it again here with 6x as many pages to make the pay off hit even harder。 Like Hickman's FF run， it's great when you get to the end of a superhero-universe-ending run and find out that it was really all about a boy and his dad。 That's the good shit。 Keep it up Mr Cates， I'll drink it up every time。 。。。more

Don't want to be too mean about this comic because two of my friends really love it but I thought this shit was really quite bad， for the most part。 It's a shame because aspects of this run， like treating 90s edgelord characters and concepts with a degree of earnestness， or the concept of using Venom to explore relationship dynamics， really do resonate with me， but Venom by Donny Cates & Ryan Stegman falls flat on its face in both aspects。 In the former case， Knull is just such a lame boring cha Don't want to be too mean about this comic because two of my friends really love it but I thought this shit was really quite bad， for the most part。 It's a shame because aspects of this run， like treating 90s edgelord characters and concepts with a degree of earnestness， or the concept of using Venom to explore relationship dynamics， really do resonate with me， but Venom by Donny Cates & Ryan Stegman falls flat on its face in both aspects。 In the former case， Knull is just such a lame boring character and the book spends an obscene amount of time hyping him up， telling us that HE IS COMING every other panel and constantly going on and on about how he is the darkness and the void and the night and no one can stop him and blah blah blah。 Dude is the void alright， a void of personality who just shows up to go "MUAH HA HA HA！" in King in Black before chumping out at the hands of a literal Deus Ex Machina。 Great character。 King in Black， in particular， is so lame， I know the standards of event comics are pretty low and Marvel events are particularly uniformly crap but this isn't even making a passing grade by those standards。And what about the relationship dynamics stuff？ Well。。。I don't usually make these kinds of assertions on writers but I truly think Donny Cates is a dumbass who does not really understand the implications of much of what he has written here。 That， at least， is the only way I can square in my head the first 12 or so issues， which use the relationship between Eddie Brock and his symbiote "other" as a metaphor for an abusive relationship， replete with lying， gaslighting， emotional abuse and trauma， even going so far as to depict the symbiote as raping someone （though again this is never brought up so I'm going to assume that Cates is a dumbass who doesn't know what he's written here）。 However， the second arc IS the highlight despite it being the place where all this is revealed because it actually has some really great and powerful character work for Venom that is immediately tossed out the window in time for Absolute Carnage， wherein after a separation （because of the aforementioned abuse， y'know） Venom is reformed because。。。well， it's time for Absolute Carnage， and what follows is an event that is fun enough， I guess， on a head-empty-no-thoughts level， but basically sweeps all the abuse under the rug， and from there the comic is just a too-fast but still undeveloped buildup to the aforementioned King in Black event， which as we have established， sucks。 It's an uncomfortable and negligent abdication of the themes of the first half of the story， and the second half just plays with fairly generic Dad Feels in a way that， along with the incredibly uncomfortable ignorance of prior abuse， makes Venom by Cates feel like the superhero version of God of War 2018， and I can scarcely think of a meaner comparison。 So， yeah。 On pretty much every level， Donny Cates fumbles and falls flat on his face。 Ryan Stegman， and the other artists involved， including my personal favorite Spider-Man artist Mark Bagley， generally do a great job that does more work to convince you that 90s comic aesthetics and sensibilities aren't total crap than the writing ever even begins to muster。 It's not a comic without merit， particularly in the art， but I can't really bring myself to say anything much about it other than a big shrug。 。。。more
