Edge of Venomverse #5

Overall, the best thing to come out of this series was the consistent cover art by Francesco Mattina. His artwork was constantly flawless and well done. By choosing different creative teams to run each title, the overall series didn't seem to flow well from one issue to the next, but hopefully that will improve with the new Venomverse titles.

Artist James Stokoe elevates an otherwise by-the-numbers actioner in Edge of Venomverse #5, which gives the Venom symbiotic to the Regenerating Degenerate himself, Deadpool. Read Full Review

Edge of Venomverse ends its run just a sit began, telling another tale of a Marvel hero merging with the symbiote and changing very little as a result. This issue does little to take advantage of this fusion. And ignoring the Venom trappings, the characterization of Deadpool is more obnoxious than amusing. James Stokoe's art is something to behold, but that alone can't make up for the many mistakes this comic makes. Read Full Review

Clay McLeod Chapman and James Stokoe team up here to complete Edge of Venomverse #5, but this final chapter of this series is a weak depiction of Venom where Deadpool isn't even at his peak performance. Read Full Review

Venomized Deadpool battles evil tapeworms for 20 pages. If that sentence sent a thrill down your spine, this comic will be quite satisfying. Shine on, you beautiful broken diamond! If your response was more "WTF" or "gross" or "☠☠☠☠ no," this comic isn't strong enough to change your opinion. What value it does have comes almost entirely from James Stokoe's brilliantly horrifying art; Clay McLeod Chapman's script is Marvel's millionth trip to the "forgettable psycho clown Deadpool" well. It's notable only in being exceptionally shameless in its "wacky hijinx are the whole point" attitude.

The only issue in this series that I hated. And I'm a big deadpool guy.
