Mar 15, 2017It's probably just as well that Venom is gearing up for a major status quo change, because this series clearly isn't working in its present state. However, those impending changes are doing nothing to help the current storyline, especially with the way this issue abruptly pivots to make room for what's coming. Read Full Review

All-Comic - Jeremy Matcho
Mar 19, 2017It shouldnt be a secret that this series is not a fan favorite. The cameo at the end of the issue says a lot about the direction editorial decided to take. Matt Costa isnt a bad writer, but this isnt the vehicle for him. The art has steadily improved each issue, but is ultimately not enough to make this a series to invest in. Read Full Review

Spidey drops by for a hot second, all of Venom's baddies are working together, and Eddie Brock is on deck. Is replacing the totally generic meathead protagonist (Lee) with a slightly better-known meathead protagonist (Eddie) really going to solve this title's woes? I very much doubt it.
