So this was...something. I haven't read much of venom outside of Agent Venom by Rick (Which btw is fucking amazing) and I'm always looking for new stories to check out (If have any drop 'em below!) but I decided to try this little mini-event out before the major event just because I like some of the creative teams here a lot. We have 5 different stories, all focuses on different characters from Laura, to Deadpool, to old man logan. Is it good? Well...Good: I really enjoyed Laura's story. Matthew...

Venom is generally awful and stories with Venom are also awful. And yet this collection of almost connected Venom stories are really pretty good. Okay, except for Deadpool but I never expect much from Deadpool or Venom so together they are not improved. Gwenpool was a standout but I'd expect nothing less. X-23 Venom was a bonus.

Again, love me some Venom and this was a really cool way to see a large span of comic book characters all ties together with Venom.

A somewhat underwhelming start to the Venomverse saga, despite all the hype.

This volume serves as a prelude to the main 'Venomverse' book and introduces a member of the cast in each chapter. Said characters are alternate universe versions of Wolverine, Gwenpool, Ghost Rider, Old Man Logan and Deadpool, each of whom has bonded with their universe's version of the Venom symbiote.Each issue collected here is by a different creative team so the quality is variable. The best story, for my money, was the Deadpool issue. The worst was the Old Man Logan story, although it did h...

This is an anthology detailing how the various characters in Venomverse wound up with their symbiotes and were sucked into Venomverse. As with most of these books, when you've heard of the creative team the story is good, when you haven't it stinks. Matthew Rosenberg tells a nice little story with X-23 discovering the symbiote as a child. Then the regular Gwenpool creative team shows us how she turns into Venom. If you like Gwenpool's schtick (which I think is hilarious), you'll definitely dig t...

This was a really good surprise. Don't go in expecting anything enriching, you won't find it here. What you will find are some fun "What if?" one-shots leading up to the main Venomverse event where these characters will feature. Each one-shot does its best impression of the main series the character is from in both writing and art, all with a a dark humor edge to it. Just a lot of fun: silly, corny, over-the-top, and bordering on satirical.Issue #1 - X-23:Writing 4/5Art 5/5Issue #2 - Gwenpool:Wr...

X-23 and some War stories were cool.

I got this Volume because I knew there was an event known as 'Venomverse' coming up and figured this would be a type of prequel. It was, but they way the stories were linked wasn't obvious from the beginning. Basically, each story is an adventure of a hero we know (though from a different timeline) and at the end of each issue, they get pulled to another dimension to meet up with a Venomized version of Captain America, needing their help for a fight coming up (see Venomverse). In this "Edge of"

It seems like a set up for multiverse spanning symbiotic team up, but the story is told by a plethora of writers in stories stemming from comical to (semi) grim. It might have merited a higher score but The Ghost Rider story is pure crap and the art is awful. The Wolverine story line near the end that is supposed to be Old Man Logan with a symbiote and is pretty bad too. The Pools (Gwen and Dead) really save the whole volume from being trash. Those stories and Rocket Raccoon all venom-ed up take...

Okay, this is better than expected though still not a masterpiece.What’s it about?A bunch of alternate world stories about various familiar characters who have Venom symbiotes infecting them.In order to properly review this I have to talk about each issue.What I thought of each issue:#1 (X-23) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exciting, well written story that makes readers care what happens to the characters despite not being particularly familiar with X-23 (meaning I’ve seen her in things but didn’t care for NYX and...

I really thought I'd like this, but I just couldn't get into it. It's a series of stories featuring "Venomized" characters from alternate universes. We get X-23 (not bad), Gwenpool (silly), Ghost Rider (just not that good, and stop with Reyes and bring back Ketch and the motorcyle already), Old Man Logan (pretty good) and Deadpool (once again, silly.) Then we get shorter stories with Black Panther, Doctor Doom, Rocket Raccoon, and the best, The Punisher. This is all leading to Venomverse which i...

Marvel, just stop the Venom-lapolooza madness!Please.It’s great that you made yourself a decent chunk of change with the movie, now cease with trying to Venomize your books. The story so far: a bunch of Venom is thriving in all the alt-universes that weren’t blown up during Hickman’s Secret Wars. And the symbiote is hosted by a gaggle of different multiverse heroes.Is that Rocket VenomRacoon behind her? Yes, yes it is.The black alien Spidey-symbiote outfit, tongue, teeth, bad attitude and royal-...

I have no idea what is happening.

*Sigh*In my review of The Unworthy Thor, I said the great thing about it was how the story used the wider continuity of the Marvel Universe to create dramatic irony, to give actions consequences, and to put its characters in new and interesting situations.Edge of Venomverse doesn't do that. Edge of Venomverse is an exercise in merchandising, throwing the fan-pleasing Venom symbiote at a handful of currently hot properties so the hardcore (of whom Marvel appears to have a very low opinion on the

[Read as single issues]Edge Of Venomverse is an anthology series, where each issue focuses on a different character bonding with a Venom symbiote and then being drafted into Venomverse proper. To the writers' credit, all of them do show up in the main story, with varying levels of importance (from a little to barely any at all, but still), and as with any anthology, it's full of ups and downs.The opening issue focuses on X-23, which is a heartfelt little story about saving your friends, with som...

I'm not really big into the Spider-Man books. Never have really. I enjoyed Maximum Carnage the video game back in the 90's and enjoyed the novel it was based on and also enjoyed. I decided to start the Venomverse from the start, silly enough, because of the Funko Pops based on Venomverse that came out. They look really good. But I digress...I thought this was a really good setup of short stories into the main Venomverse. I thought it could of been a lot longer, but it was a nice setup as I menti...

So, I’m taking a break from binging my backlog of X-Books since the next volume of X-Men Blue ties into the Venomverse event, which kicks off with this book here. Edge of Venomverse is an anthology style collection showcasing the various Marvel heroes of the multiverse that have bonded with the alien symbiote. Unfortunately, this one’s pretty lame overall. The saving graces come in the first issue, revolving around X-23 and her becoming the host to Venom, and a couple of the short stories told i...

This was a mixed bag, but I think overall worth checking out. I picked it up just because of Gwenpool, and I liked her story. Doom's worked for me, as did Rocket's, X-23, and, to a lesser degree, Black Panther's. The one I felt worked surprisingly well was the Punisher, as honestly, he's a murder machine and so why wouldn't he do well with Venom? What didn't work for me at all was Old Man Logan's, probably because I don't know nor am I interested in that version of the character, and the Host Ri...
