You can't go home again. This collection is from some of the prime years of my comic collecting. The mid-80's to the early 90's were a dichotomy for comics just as it was for music. This period saw the transition from hair metal to grunge and from party rap to socially conscious and groove-heavy hip-hop. The same was true for comics. Two branches appeared - one, the auteur branch, mostly on the DC / Vertigo side with Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller, etc. The other was the meticulous artist...
I have to say I was a bit disappointed after reading this Epic. I thought since its name is "Venom" that we would be presented with a major arch featuring the aforementioned villain but he's barely in it. Yes, we do have his first appearance but that's all there is to it. The other arches were ok but they were not what I was looking for.
McFarlanes Spiderman art started a new era. It's worth it just for that.
I really don't know if threeds is the right rating, but here we are. There's nothing really special about this run of comics. The arrival of Venom is just a thing that happens and given the mess of a character he is it really has no weight to it. The rest of the issues all fall into a steady pattern of...Awkward dialogue recapping the previous issue.Villain of the week.Mary Jane and Peter talk about fucking each other.No, really. Almost every issue involves some kind of innuendo between the two....
If you're, like me, doing a deep dive on Venom, and you decide to pick up this volume called "Venom" to get some serious Venom reading on, you're going to be disappointed. There is only one full issue involving Venom in this book. He has two brief cameos before issue #300, which is his sole featured appearance. It's a Great Venom issue. The first battle between Parker and the Eddie Brock version of the symbiote is a solid 80s issue, pulling together several long term threads to explain why Eddie...
I haven't seen the Venom film (yet!) but I just about died over Sony's holidays DVD/Blue-ray advert so hell yes I'm going to read up on the Venom comics before I watch it next week. I love Venom in these stories. I even love Eddie. He looks like a bruiser with an IQ of 10, but bro is erudite and is 100% on board with Venom's "no innocents are going to get hurt on my watch" attitude. It's all so over the top and hilarious. So why only 3 stars? Because of the rest of the content. Specifically the
A maioria das edições são com a dupla David Micheline e Todd MestreFarlanne, as primeiras três são com a Ann Nocenti contando sobre como um Peter Parker amnésico acabou num hospício comandado pelo Wilson Fisk, é uma daquelas histórias mais "cabeça" sobre sanidade, realidade e uma pegada na família criminosa que só quer largar tudo e ser feliz no interior.Pulando para as histórias principais, Peter Parker e Mary Jane Watson casados morando no chiqueiro que o Parker chama de apartamento, e a vida
Utterly terrible. I'm not going to get into the utter shit, sexist writing, or the even worse art. (Though heads up, Mary Jane exists for two purposes: sex and damsel in distress.) Instead, let's consider the name of this volume: Venom. He appears in all of 2-3 issues in the entire collection. They introduce him so briefly, but the intro of the symbiote, Peter's subsequent black suit, and Venom finding Eddie? None of that is here. Instead, we get a menagerie of other Spidey villains. But no Veno...
This is a fine collection of Michelinie-era Spider-Man, but the volume is very misleadingly titled. If you're coming into this expecting a collection of Venom stories I'd recommend the Birth of Venom and Vengeance of Venom collections for Spider-Man stuff before going off to Venom's various miniseries. This collection only contains one actual Venom story - ASM #300 - and that's it.
I’ve read approximately 4 billion issues of Spider-Man over the past couple of years. This collection is…fine. I just finished it and I only barely remember what happened. One reason for that is last night’s presidential debate killed so many brain cells that I can barely remember my name, which I’m reasonably sure is Biff (it’s Biff, right?). The other reason is that it was pretty typical early 90s comic fare without any particularly high or low points. Also, Todd McFarlane? Overrated. I much p...
Its pretty good guys... its a stalker book. Beautiful MJ with big hair and doe eyes has a psycho stalker... Peter has a psycho stalker (Brock). Some of cool guest appearances (Silver Sable) and some lame ones (Styx and Stones). Its title is misleading... alot more than Venom in here.
Fair warning - although Venom is the title of vol 18, Venom only appears fully in one issue (and cameos in two others). A better title is "So many bad guys come and go, and none of them are really worth reading about. Even the biggest bad guys are written pretty lame and are easily disposed of." Overall, I was pretty bored by this volume, but seeing Todd McFarlane's work was nice. He does a great job, although many of his issues seemed overly inked. I would not recommend buying this - borrow it
Surprisingly engaging. It reads better in the original than in the Polish translation. Venom's thread itself is quite average, MJ's kidnapping is definitely the best.
I bought this collection for the Venom stories, not realizing that a collection with only those would be released a few years later. I was disappointed in this regard (there are very few Venom stories included, despite the title), but the other stories were just as good.
