Mindless but fun.

It's Venom versus...big business? The main story centers around Venom trying to stop a businessman from destroying the underground society that took him in when nobody else would, and it's as underwhelming a motivation for a comic book as it sounds. Thankfully there are some detours to this plot that makes Venom: Lethal Protector an interesting read despite its subpar main story. For one, Spider-Man is in quite a bit of these issues (presumably because Marvel didn't think Venom was strong enough...

A somewhat decent mindless read. Venom is good... if you want to read a cheesy 90s comic. Bring out the mullets and bad dialogue! This was one of the main comics that inspired the new Venom movie (along with Planet ofThe symbiotes) and yeah it totally sucks but there’s something entertaining and nostalgic about it that makes it somewhat enjoyable and some pretty good artwork too. Overall nothing all that special if you aren’t a fan of the character.

Vote: ☆☆☆1/2It seems the upcoming Venom movie is going to be based on the storyline of Lethal Protector 90s miniseries, so it was just the right time to re-read this (luckly I still keep boxed almost all the hundreds of comic books I used to buy an collect in my youth years..).Storyline aged good for being a cheesy 90s one and a few well made gags made me laugh to tears, sadly Ron Lim's artworks in issues 4-6 are just not as good as Mark Bagley's ones in first half of the series.Totally forgot a...

This book is a good representation of what comic books should strive for - zany plot lines that don't get derailed by their own absurdness centered around a moral core. This book keeps cliches to a minimum and really manages to tell a fresh Venom story.

This was the first attempt by Marvel to make Venom more of an anti-hero, and it's pretty good. Venom is equal parts scary and corny, working in San Francisco underground to protect the innocent in his....special way. The director of the upcoming Venom movie said that he took elements of the story line for the film from this limited series, and as you read it you can definitely see it for yourself. I enjoyed this entertaining, occasionally hilarious romp.

You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.If there’s one foe that comes to mind when you think about Spider-Man, it’s Venom. With his symbiote that allows him to take on a form similar to Spider-Man’s costume but with a much darker, sharper and deadlier edge, Venom has always been seen as an adversary that you simply did not want to go up against unless you were looking to meet Death far sooner than intended. Although the character saw its first live-action adaptation in Spider-Man 3, i...

I liked it!Fun to see Venom going away in San Francisco getting away from Spidey and all of the drama, just to have a new beginning with devoting his life to protect the innocent etc. Spidey being all skeptical about it got old too fast and pretty much stating the obvious while talking/thinking both characters made the whole thing a bit dumb, but still the main plot and above all the artwork saved it!If you're a fan of Venom, be sure to check it out!

A great representation of what I loved about comics as a kid in 1993.

First couples pages has venom stopping a robbery almost turned rape. He then makes a few jokes about being a hero while he looks like he might bite your face off. This is 90s to the extreme and it's both amazing and horrible. The dialogue ranges from pretty enjoyable and funny (peter is actually pretty funny and so is venom) to some awful dialogue from the father of Eddie being awful. The art can be cool too, especially venom and spidy. Though backgrounds lack detail as does it most times in thi...

The Goddamn 90s Y’know what?! I’ve read way to much 90s venom and hated all of it. So that’s it for me folks. This is my last time reading any incarnation of Venom that is 90s and earlier. I know there are probably a lot of Venom fans right now wanting to kill me. I get it. I can relate if I see a bad review on one of my favourite stories. And I read this comic in preparation for the movie coming out on October 5th. I wish I hadn’t. This wasnt as painful to read as Venom the Madness or Venom

i REALLY enjoyed this for so many reasons. the language they used was so hilarious to me, like the phrasing and the way the civilians reacted to venom was the funniest thing ever, it was so cheesy. also the venom movie kinda seems to take some (A LOT OF) notes from this. and like eddie & venom were so funny akskfjsj. also scream, agony, lasher, phage, and riot 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 ICONIC.

This was such a good start to my reading of Venom! I can't believe I didn't get onto these comics beforehand. The storyline was really good! I love how the series within the comic all flowed into one another and each of the parts were very continuous.The characters were really interesting, and I can't wait to read more of these issues!

Like Claremont's Wolverine series, there seems to be something awfully bizarre about this in hindsight. A limited series to see if Venom was a popular enough character to sell books? Please!(Although despite the tremendous popularity of the character, I guess the answer is: No, not popular enough. I wonder why.)This is a perfectly fine little yarn. Maybe there is too little action. Maybe it failed to establish that Venom has his own problems separate and apart from Spider-Man. Maybe it was a (bi...

Quick and SweetIt was nice to have all 6 issues to read at once. The story was simple with multiple outside story arcs to revisit.

Lethal Protector was originally published in 1993 as a six-issue story with Venom as the main character.The story was written by David Micheline and it shows the major storytelling issues of the time which were partly lead to major changes in the comic book industry in the late 90s. The story itself is a bit incoherent and it's so overloaded with action and movement that it ends up more like a frustrating experience for the reader. Some storylines were solely introduced with the purpose of havin...

So I remember the Venom character from the 90's Spider-Man cartoon. And now there's going to be a movie starring Tom Hardy. So I read this one since its one of the comics the movie is based on I think. It was an interesting read. The art was alright at times.

There are aspects of Venom as a character that I expected to like, and I did like them when present: the plural pronoun, the fact that the symbiont is the only clothing Brock wears, the reunion scene at the end; it's an unusual intimacy if I've ever seen one, and I'm trash for that trope. But all the rest of this is everything that I don't like in comics, from bulging muscles to bland one-liners to stilted expository dialog. This last would be much alleviated--and there would be more of the good...

This story lacks a bit of focus at times, but overall its pretty fun. Apparently the upcoming Venom movie with Tom Hardy pulls from this story, but what it pulls is still a mystery as I write this review. There's a lot to pull from; Eddie's upbringing, Venom protecting the homeless of San Francisco, the Life Foundation, and Roland Treece trying to steal gold. There are also 5 new Symbiote threats created and destroyed in literally one issue. David Michelinie wrote a very unfocused script, but la...
